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
Whazzup, I can't wait to see that video, so can you post it on YouTube?
As for Paris and Britney, well, it would be a special kind of Hell to have to deal with them, I'm sure. You SGTers are the only celebs I would want to hang around! :)
Well, and maybe Johnny Depp.....

Well, judging how paris cannot figure out the difference between india and africa, you could probably point out the endangered flying bongos, and she would start a "cause" to save them!!Big Wallaby wrote:Ha, I already have it!
Just wait until I get some celebrity on my truck that thinks it was the best safari they ever had. I've already had a lawyer from Garland, TX say it was, so it's just a matter of time.
Paris and Britney are not allowed on my truck. I might be convinced to change my mind if they sit in the front and wear something low-cut. JUST KIDDING!!!*
Actually, I have a very short list of celebrities I would like to have on board, because I want the kind of people who will get into the whole storyline and enjoy it, as opposed to those who are just doing it to do it. From what I've heard, people like Johny Depp, Kirk Cameron, etc. would be fun to have. But Paris and Britney, I can't imagine them doing much more than sitting there thinking, "Dude, this guy's, like, trying to, like, impress me or something? And he's, like, so stupid? And he's, like, fat?
Sure, I'm biased.
*well, kinda.

Just think what that book is going to be worth in a hunnert years, BW. When you sell it on EBay, I want my cut. :D:Big Wallaby wrote:Ha, I already have it!
I'm not posting any videos on YouTube until I find out whether my little scene ends up on the DCL video. If not, then maybe I'll consider posting on YouTube. You know Disney is going to edit the DCL video and maybe they'll make me look 50 pounds lighter and 20 years younger. One can only hope.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
We quietly watched them videotaping for awhile, and I noticed the producer was a guy named Tony from Beverly Hills or Hollywood, I forget which (he had a CM nametag). He was wearing a shirt that had Mickeys and palm trees all over it, and I have the exact same shirt. I heard him comment that they needed someone who knew how to waltz. When he asked me if I wanted to be in the video, after I said YES I told him I knew how to waltz and I had the very same shirt he was wearing. So, they don't DARE cut me from the video, right?
The lady behind the project was also there, but I didn't catch her name. She asked if I had applied to be a hostess for a nationwide DCL House Party that will be held on January 26th and I said yes, I had applied, so she said she'd send me a copy of the video. I found out this morning that the new video is being made specifically for the House Parties and I think all my invited attendees will receive a copy. Too cool!
There will be just over 1,000 parties nationwide all on the same day, and 5 of them are here in our town, but I don't know the other hosts. If you want to check it out go to HouseParty.com and scroll down and click on the link to Disney Cruise Line. Maybe there'll be a party in your town and you can invite yourself!
Hey Shorty, wanna come to my party? I'll send you an invitation. We're having food, fun games, door prizes, and Disney CL is sending us goody bags for the guests. There is no obligation, it's just a fun, informational party about DCL, and you can be among the first to preview the new video.

A party with food, and talking about DCL? Hmmmm what kind of deal do you get. A free cruise? or some cool Disney stuff?

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
I doubt they'll throw in a free cruise, and I'm not sure what Disney is sending for the goody bags, but I've got some little Disney things to use as prizes for the games. I might even give away a bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum as a door prize! So hop on a plane, Pirate, and we'll see you on the 26th. :D:GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:A party with food, and talking about DCL? Hmmmm what kind of deal do you get.

I wish I could!! but I am working toward retirement in a few short weeks and am going to be winding down and getting duckies in line so I don't have to deal with last minute stuff!!Whazzup wrote:I doubt they'll throw in a free cruise, and I'm not sure what Disney is sending for the goody bags, but I've got some little Disney things to use as prizes for the games.

Are you going to have a retirement party/shindig or just sneak out the door? You should have a party at work - last chance for a free meal. ;)
