Official SGT ADD thread
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.

Sorry, the first post went right over my head.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:I Was going for: "There appy"

But of which first post do I speak? Ah!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, due to unforeseen circumstances, Disney's Animal Kingdom is closing early today. Please ask a Cast Member for further details. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I've also decided I'm going to get a tape recording of all the MiMs spiels, redo them in my own voice and personality, and see if I can get someone in management to like my work better.
Oh, I've finally figured out how to put an Audio Technica AT892 into the buses so that I can speak hands-free. Now to get permission to use it (not gonna hold my breath) and the $450 or so to make the device...

You already have hands free, you just need the right bus. Anything from 4954 to 4962.

- You have to keep the heel button pressed while you talk
- It's not live
- Any other sounds on the bus (and some from outside) get picked up and carry over the system.

How much do I post here?
Sometimes I think it just might be too much.
