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.

Re: Saw this and thought of Disney bathrooms
Disney bathrooms are generally fabulous compared to public washrooms elsewhere. While I could use that survival kit at my local mall, I've never needed it at Disney. (At the mall yesterday, I was forced to use the bathrooms by the food court, and it looked and smelled like a whole herd of dead buffaloes. I shudder to think of what those people's home bathrooms must look like.)
It's always impressed me how hard the CMs work to keep the park bathrooms clean, especially considering the users are the same SGs that destroy the bathrooms elsewhere. I'm sure they're destroying the Disney ones too, it just gets cleaned up faster. Kudos to the poor CMs who have to deal with that every day...

Re: Saw this and thought of Disney bathrooms
We normally attend the parks at off times, so there are less people and thus less mess. We just got back a couple of weeks ago after having gone during "peak" time. I was amazed and how clean and well maintained the restrooms were even with the amount of people always in there. In off times, there is never a line to use the facilities, but there was this time. It seemed like there was always a ton of people around and in the restrooms, and yet they were very tidy and smelled ok.
Kudos to those who have this thankless job. Your efforts may go unnoticed, but those efforts help the magic stay intact.

I'm the custodian at my church--membership about 100+--and you wouldn't believe what I sometimes see in the five restrooms we have. Like in the back toilet in the outside restroom, someone keeps having the runs and either not flushing, or not thoroughly flushing.
For a while someone was keeping a folding toothbrush and sample size tube of toothpaste in the paper towel dispenser in that same bathroom, luckily they stopped doing it before we switched to a different dispenser design.
My pastor's wife believes there's urine on the bathroom floors, and insists I change mop heads so I'll use a different one for the kitchen, sanctuary and foyer and another for the bathrooms. I just bought a Libman Freedom mop , and she freaks out over that because I use the same mop head on that. I've tried to educate her that the chemicals I use really do kill and remove germs, etc., but she won't listen.
One of these days, I'm getting a black light, then we'll see who's right.

Not your pastor's wife's concerns, but your choice of smilie. Look at the code, and you'll see that the smilie is named "pissed"!
