Ok... I did it.. was an SG today.... I feel dumb.. please start flogging me as soon as you read.. I demand that I be punished....
With this being said... My wife and I went to universal Studios today.... we walked around the park.. doing the usual rides...
We get to Jaws and I remember that their was an SGT'er named Skipper Gordan. I asked the dock hand if I could ride with Skipper Gordan ( not knowning it was a scripted Char. ) they looked at me and said he just left the dock.. I said ok.. ill go on the next boat....
The wife and I got off and decided to do it again. This time we got back around to the front of the line again and told the hostests ( I think her name was Hillary ) that I would like to wait till Skipper Gordan got back from his cruise and I want to sit in the front row.... she looked at me and said.. "You do know that "he" is not real... its just a fictitional char."
This is when I felt dumb... So to "recover" what dignity I had left.. I said "Oh really" I was told by a good friend that he is the best skipper their and I needed to wait for him"
:sharkbait
I feel dumb.... But it did feel kind fun to fell like a person we make fun of...

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.

Of course, in hindsight maybe the best response would have been, "What?!? Next you'll be telling me that the shark isn't real, either." :D:

Re: I hate Skipper Gordan!
This made me giggle in a big way. If it makes you feel any better, I was not working that day so you wouldn't have gotten to see me anyway.
For the record: The Skipper Gordon that posts to SGT is a red headed female of amazonian proportions who occasionally answers to "Roosevelt" and "Courtney Paris" neither of which are her real name.
You did get one thing right though...I am the best skipper they've got.

Re: I hate Skipper Gordan!
I just might have to make a trip to Universal tomorrow.
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?
