Icky Yucky Sushi

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.

Speaking of threads of slime... when my parents were first married my mom tried to make boiled okra for dinner. I don't think either of them had ever had it. My dad barfed in his plate. TMI, I know, but I am full of TMI.

There are only two ways to eat Okra. Either in Gumbo, or sliced up, breaded in corn meal, and fried.

That's how I was raised -- although I never acquired a taste for it myself.

It's playing on fear of the exotic and it's just so out of place now. And if you look at the lyrics, they're pretty gross themselves; I mean, they make use of racist tropes like "no likey" and "me sicky."

It's basically saying "look at that weird food those crazy foreigners eat! Ew!" and nothing more. Which is especially dumb, because sushi? Is not that weird.
Permit me to suggest that on 31 December 1939 --- the date inside the Adventurer's Club at all times --- such remarks were perfectly acceptable in the US, and sushi was a distinctly weird food.

Gotta take these things in context, the same way one does for "Song of the South".

Just how *would* someone be a repeat customer once poisoned? :D:

First timers get a pass unless they start telling Konglish jokes.

This brought back some memories. I really miss the Adventurers Club on my trips to Disney World and this one of my favourite numbers at the Hoopla. I always looked forward to it or "Three Little Fishies" whenever I saw that Joe was playing Hodges that night.

And I love sushi. :)

I'm coming out to WDW in a couple of weeks for the Food and Wine Festival. I may just have to wander by Pleasure Island and hoist a toast to the memory of the club.

Say the word if you'd like help with that.

But considering how little is left of PI, perhaps we could meet at some sushi bar for that toast?
