oh the horror
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.

Notice the right hand drive on "Marge's" car; obviously this was made in the UK. Next thing you'll be telling us is that the family name is Simpson, dad's name is Homer, mum's name is Marge, and the kids are actually named Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
People magazine once did track down people who had the names of the Simpson characters. Needless to say, Bart was a college student, Maggie and Lisa were both adults as well, and I don't think any of them had the same traits as their fictional namesakes.

Re: oh the horror
Not every same-name-as-a-celebrity story is so pleasant. For example, my birth name was "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince." I had no problems until that other guy took it in the 80's.

Re: oh the horror
Do you have a birthmark that looks like this?
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: oh the horror
I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of that birthmark. Or where it is.

LOL LOL LOL, yet spot on hobie!! Sans the purple, please. Guitar has to have much more bling and MUST be a Fender, strung with John Pearse Strings, 5 Fender amps, and Line 6 Pod Pro with Pedal Board, plus;hobie16 wrote:Prince was so into the image that he had a guitar built too.
TC Electronic...Chorus/Flanger
Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal
Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay Pedal
Boss GE7 Equalizer Pedal
Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer
Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner Pedal
Fulltone USA Distortion Pro pedal
Then it would be useable. Thanks!
