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.

Oh, and I have made similar mistakes since then. I am now able to blame it on a keyboard that I am not used to and switching my computer to Ubuntu, since it behaves differently.
The only part for which I have no excuse is the fact that I hadn't taken the time to reread it. I am going to modify that post to say "Typed, but not read." That gets me out of any grammatical blame. Yes, that's it.
Yeah, Ubuntu has a little learning curve.
not as bad as droid on my tablet thou.

I have two email signatures, one for mail sent from my phone and another for mail sent from a desktop. The first says, "Mistyped on my HTC Thunderbolt," while the other says "Typed on a real keyboard, so any misspellings are my fault."

I would also like to point out in my putting Typed But Not Read, I would hate to be accused of having bad grammar, and would much rather be accused of having bad manners.
No issues there.
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?

there have to be kids that write e-mails to

TYPED, BUT NOT READ, APPARENTLY.
Ok, I tried the email, it got returned as not a email address. I have to honestly say I am SHOCKED. That seems like the most obvious email for disney to have

Wow. That is certainly not anything I expected.

I've noticed on other disney email addresses they use the <first>.<last> standard. Might it be worth trying Mickey.Mouse @ disney . com?

You probably have to add a .go somewhere in the address.
