I don't believe I ever made it clear where the idea came from. So in the name of all things fun, here you go.

Where did I get the idea to name SGT kids Timmy and Tammy?
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

The earliest record of Timmy/Tammy I found here on SGT was http://www.stupidguesttricks.com/showth ... #post45099
The only mention of "Tammy" before that in the search was someone mentioning their wife's name. :p:

WHOA,major flashback. On the way home from So Cal,my youngest son was hitting me on the head with a toy from Sea World,(hurt like hell).
Rather than bark at him,I yelled,"Not the Momma".

Hmm... Where did I get the idea that it was my idea? Did I start it on another baord?

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
