A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
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.

Me?!?! Naaaaaaaa. Timing and location have had a lot to do with what I've done and where I've been.
There was that open Saturday in Moscow where I couldn't get into Red Square so I wandered down the west wall and discovered you could get inside for $.25. There's churches and a pretty nice park inside.
KGB headquarters? What a dump!

hobie, do not argue with DM! She says you are cool. Her husband states you are a most interesting man, & besides - we all voted ;) -
you are the coolest. Case closed! The famed Cow Palace??? OMG, what a trip that would have been!!!

I've only been there once...an R V show. Not the same.

Joan Jett has to be the hardest working woman in rock 'n' roll.

I vaguely remember going to a John Lennon/Yoko Ono concert in Toronto when I was stationed in Niagara Falls, NY in 1969. I remember heading out with a bunch of guys but I don't remember anything else about it. Tough night! The others told me the Yoko was awful anyway so I didn't miss anything good. Still would have like to have seen John Lennon though or at least remember seeing him.

1974 (ish) - The Osmonds
I liked Donny and Marie alright, but was a huge fan of the Brothers, particularly the kind of stuff later covered by The Mission, Tank, or KMFDM. Still tend toward bands with interesting drumming that can handle singing in harmony (or who fake it, like The Police).
Favorite Osmond Brothers tune:

Evanescence was on Letterman years ago. They played one of their first hits that had about five minutes of piano solo and thirty seconds with the rest of the band. After the break, Dave and Paul were wondering why the rest of the band even showed up.
