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
I am sick from something that did agree with me, sigh. Next time I will read the expiratio date on the orange juice. I got to watch out for my typos as they get me into so much trouble. So what is new with me?
Calvin called as I was microwaving dinner which was rosemary chicken from Whole Foods Store, harvest vegetable medley from that store, left over canned peas, and butter topped cornbread with strawberry jelly. Plus mom's coffee so I was running back and forth to the microwave rotating things in and out.
Calvin calls and needs money for rent so I say come over at 7. Mom had a major meltdown and finally Calvin showed up around 8. The following occured with mom.
Mom: you write him a check as it is not safe to go to the back at night.
Me: I am short on checks and it is a pain to get more
Mom: I have checks (which she finds and gives to me)
Me: Calvin when do you need the money?
Calvin: Tomorrow
Me: Mom if I give him a check he cannot cash it tomorrow.
Mom : It is not safe to go out at night
Thence we went over how the bank is closed and he would not get the money until Friday. I rode in Calvin's truck to the bank then to the market.
Calvin is so grateful that last night he did the dishes and now is working on the plumbing. I gave him $80 in groceries and cleaned out the pantry and freeze so that he took a lot ore groceries. I wil hide here until he comes knocking but the plumbing will in theory get done.
Whta is sad is that my mom was not going to help him out after all he has done for me and her. He got the ramp put in and the house painted on installments. Fixed a light and other stuff. I sat on New Years eve in self pity and lonely but now I hear the banging, the wet floor, and the thudding of his feet on the roof. I do have a friend and why do I always forget about him when the darkness comes. He is a pain but still he cares.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
I found this story on another site.
Dog Pillow
The other night I couldn't get to sleep. The problem was that I was sharing the bed with a wife, two cats, and a dog. The only position left for me would have looked like the chalk outline at a murder scene. I decided that one of the mammals needed to be moved. I was groggy from sleep deprivation, but even in that debilitated state I knew the wrong answers were (in this orders): wife, cat 1, cat 2. A good night of sleep isn't worth a bite wound.
I figured moving the dog was my best chance of not regretting this plan. She's a 12-pound toy Australian Shepherd and always in a good mood. When she's sleepy you can mold her into any position you like, Gumby-style. My idea was to bring her up toward my chest, with her back to my stomach, spoon position. Then I could turn sideways, insert my special small knee pillow between my legs and be good to go.
It was totally dark so I was operating by touch. I reached down and pulled little Snickers up to my chest, adjusted my blankets and pillows, and started settling in for a luxurious snooze. I love it when a plan comes together like that.
Few things are more soothing than sleeping with a warm puppy. I decided to use the dog as sort of a little pillow for my snout. It felt wonderful to snuggle my nose in between her ear and her neck area. She was totally unconscious so she took any position I assigned. It was great, but perhaps one more adjustment would make it perfect. I decided to put one arm around her and slip my hand under her head, just to get extra comfy. But there was just one problem.
HER HEAD WAS MISSING!
I was panicked, feeling around in the dark for where she must have contorted her head to make it so far from where I knew it had to be. I slipped my hand under my pillow and felt around, nothing. I checked to see if I was accidentally lying on her head: negative. Her head just wasn't there. In my half-asleep state, I worried that a horrible accident had happened during the night, possibly involving a circular saw. I realize that sounds unlikely to you, but keep in mind that my own snoring doesn't wake me, and I did have a headless dog.
I'm sure many of you readers are ahead of me on this story. Eventually I realized her head was on the other side of her body, exactly where it belonged. I had been snuggling my face into my dog's ass.
So that's how my 2009 started. I'm really hoping it isn't some sort of omen.
