I will regularly have Southern California customers ask me if I ever worked as a Disney cast member.

Now This I Like
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.

Re: Now This I Like
Oh, it's a common conversation thread:
Rep: So where are you located?
Me: Indiana.
Rep: Really?
Me: Yep. Extra "na" on that location that you didn't expect, huh?
And it doesn't help that while I'm working on their system, I'm cracking Jungle Cruise-level jokes with them, with the theory that if they're at the point of calling me, then not only do they need tech help, but they probably also need help lowering their blood pressure. Laughter normally helps. ;)
