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.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Seriously... it seems like every topic is migrating towards food nowadays. Disney needs to give everyone a raise so you can afford to eat, and not have to daydream (and post) about food!susislicker wrote:Always with the food Churchy, always with the food...You are making me hungry again....LOLOLOL :D:

Yeah, Susi - add something clever to the Neverending Story to commemorate your 500th post. At least that post will go on and on and on and on....

Actually, that was an evac off of Splash Mountain, and they were evacuated to an area I have sometimes seen quite regularly, where the parades start and stop. It was funny listening to them try to describe the things around them... I don't think they had a clue what all they were looking at.
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?
Re: Official SGT ADD thread
On my daughter's birthday, she came to the park with her paternal grandparents. One ride they went on was Pirates, and it went down while they were on the ride. They were evacuated from where the drunken pirate says,"Here Kitty Kitty" and offers rum to the two grey and white striped stray cats on the barrels. According to what my fatherinlaw says, a fellow cast member said that they were at the farthest point from the entrance while they were walking backstage to get out and back out to the public eye.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
I want to babble and complain. I am having a bad nite.
First we get a shut off notice for the gas co. All my DD's preschool fault cause they lost one of the checks (non cashed) I gave them and I had to take my gas bill money and pay them. NOw we probably wont be able to go to WDW next month like we planned cause I have to pay the over due gas bill (they are usually happy as long as you pay them something but if you dont get one of these they want it all at once), which our something went to the school instead. I was actually ahead a month and would have only owed them $8. I know it sounds weird they way I am explaining it but it throws off my check book when I have to wait a month or more for them to cash something then they wind up misplacing it. I am not a happy camper over this.
Next I go to the Salvation Army for their women's league. (usually a nice hour of conversing with other adults) NOT TONITE. from the moment I walked in and with the exception of the commanding officers and one woman, no one said boo to me. I tried to get ppl to ...(what's the word I am looking for) talk to me but I felt invisible. One woman in particular really ticked me off. Everyone is sitting around the table and she picks up a newspaper and beckons the woman next to her behind it to tell her something. Very rude. I joked about it and said to her "now now, no passing secret notes in class" What did I get in return? THE "HEAD" and the "WAIT A MINUTE" finger with attitude. Forget this, I am leaving. Donnie is still over there with the men's group (truthfully I think I would enjoy their company more) Fat-old-crabby-overdyed hair-witch ticked me OFF!
Get home dump my shoes in the hall instead of putting them where they belong cause I am upset (the SA is only about 50 yards from my house) What do I do? Fall over the damn things, literally. I am ok, just ticked off again.
Next I check email. I had sent out some early Xmas cards to some net folk as a thank you for participating in an ornament swap I was doing and since we were planning a December trip I wanted them out of the way. Normally I DO NOT DO CARDS (waste of paper and stamps, not to mention money) Figured since I was sending out those....be nice....send out one to each of the parental units on both sides. Now Donnie's dad knows our feelings on this but gets all sarcastic "maybe we should cherish it as it will be the first card of memory that we have received" UGGGGGGG
Having enuf trouble with him cause Donnie wants to go to MK for his bday and his dad and step are snowbirds, we thot they would like to join us. Well we want to see all the cool stuff WDW has for Xmas (we prob wont get another chance for a while--figured got the AP's might as well use them) They want us to come spend 2 days at their house...more ugggg...I dont want to sleep on the floor in Florida, in a trailer, in the winter. Not my idea of a vacation not to mention , bad back and knees (since I fell again) I wanna see Mickey not old ppl in an old ppl trailer court. He keeps giving us these guilt trips **in whiny voice.."we havnt see the grandbaby for a year...lalalala" We invited you to join us at WDW. What do you want us to do?
I told them what they needed (pic ID) to get the FL res 3 day pass. SIGH...he was arguing with me last nite on the phone saying that AAA (y did u go there?) said they need a state driver's license to purchase tickets and nothing else would be accepted. Was I wrong? From what I was told when I called ticketing, they said you need photo ID (driver;s license or state id)
OOOOOOOOOOO.....I should just tell him the trip is canceled due to finances (depends on what gas company will take in payments) and just go anyway.
I am done venting now...thank you all.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Thanks Darph that made me chuckle. I ramble when upset. I also ramble when happy. I also ramble when I am tired. OH HELL! I just ramble in general.
