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.

During MouseFest this year, one of the scheduled events for December 9th is BeverlyFest. Everyone will gather at Club Cool to enjoy some liquid refreshment. I guess the point will be to see who can down the most Beverly without regurgitating.

I'm so 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?

Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmarts, how can I help you?"
[/font][/font][font=Arial][font=Arial]Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."[/font][/font][font=Arial][font=Arial]
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
[/font][/font][font=Arial][font=Arial]Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".[/font][/font]

'Course, I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged as a joke, but I really want it to be true!!!
Once in college for a roommate's birthday, I ordered one of those giant chocolate chip cookies. I had them write "Happy Anniversary Marvin & Louise," and then in a different icing cross out "Anniversary" and "Marvin & Louise" and write in "Birthday" and "Donny" in the margins! I told him we'd gotten it half-price since the people who originally ordered it didn't pick it up. :twisted: :D:

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Good story, Wombat.
Well, I'd like to stay and continue this lovefest, but I have to go get an adjustment from the chiropractor, who keeps trying to straighten out my lower back. I think it's too late to bother, but it does make me feel better for a few days.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
LOL....and this is why I have never called in a cake order. They love me...I actually have taken in a drawing/printed pic yet they have still gotten it wrong. Had to return Meghyn's last B-day cake . How hard is it to copy a pic with the color's listed? (btw...I used to do the cake thing for a living so I have been in their postition)
It was supposed to be a Ariel cake with blue water background . white sides, .sea foam green piping all around the edges--top and bottom-- and periwinkle dots( bubbles) on the sea plants, pink lettering. What did I get? A seafoam green background with the same color piping on the top only, white dots on the plants, huge white lettering and the whole thing was so overly airbrushed the icing was cracking. I figured live with it for this party but can you change the dots from white to periwinkle to give it some color contrast (the whole darn thing was white and green) "UUUMMMM..DOH! Is that like purple?" Instead of taking off the white dots and replacing them (tip of a knife and wahlah-gone) the dimwit just piped on top of them. SO now I have really tall purple and white dots.
I returned it and the manager had the audacity to complain about me bringing in a paper telling what I wanted. Good Lord, when I was decorating I probably would have kissed someone for doing that and making my job easier.
I went to another store and the woman did a beautiful job in the matter of 1/2 hour (the party was like ...SOON)
Here is the final result of the good one. I added the figures...love Mcdonald's toys...lol

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
For several years one of the annual events at a meet I attend of a Disney fan group was a Beverly drinking contest. If I remember correctly the record for the most consecutive Beverlies in our group is something around 27. But I'm not certain. Maybe Zazu can advise if he remembers any differently.Big Wallaby wrote:Cranbiz and I have got to go have a drink-off one of these days. See who can better hold their Beverly. I know I've said it before, but it's so much fun to drink it and comment how good that is, just to get others to try it expecting the same.
It actually has nice undertones...
Thank you, Vixen, for posting those pictures of Donny. They are quite awesome.
