Well Educated...
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.

Clearly, she is a model train passenger, what with her high quality education.

Re: Well Educated...
I've never understood the argument that being well-educated means you're well behaved. Or well-anything, except hopefully educated in the particular subject you're degreed in. But then, the only doctorate among my mom's siblings is a complete moron who thinks his degree makes him an expert on all subjects (and treated his bachelor's the same way), which may skew expectations on my part. :p:

Sure you can. Haven't you seen that pic of Walt riding around his back yard? (Or is that the pic you posted that my filter doesn't like?)BRWombat wrote:When I first saw this post, I thought, "Wait -- you can ride model trains???"
Re: Well Educated...
Actually, not. There is a distinction between miniature trains (the ridable sort such as Walt's Carolwood Pacific Railroad,) and model railroads (which are the smaller scale tabletop layouts.)shilohmm wrote:Sure you can.

Re: Well Educated...
Tell me about it! I used to be the editor for the Official Glossary of the National Model Railroad Association. While I think our product came out pretty well, the "discussions" leading up to it (and those that quickly followed) were good practice for telling guests their favorite attraction was down for a month's rehab.shilohmm wrote:Terminology.
