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.

Believe it or not... i have seen multiple pics from around the asian countries that depict mickey as being well endowdKwahati wrote:Hey, if it makes you feel any better, it didn't occur to me, either, that it might be viewed as inappropriate by some, either. (Guess that shows how skewed my sensibilities are!) Regardless, I'm sure nobody holds one oversight against you. Aside from that one, the pics you've been posting from FailBlog are totally hysterical...
[although I am still trying to figure out wtf was going on in that picture. Was that just a crappy likeness of mickey with a fat tail from a bad angle? Or should the person in the picture who's taking a picture be arrested for something...?]

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Oh Boy! It's dance night. Tonight we have a crowd that just shy of 12,000 and a large fight just broke out in the beer garden! Only a little more than 2 hours left to go for the dance. The beer sales will be cut off in about hour but I think we will probably have another 4 EMT calls by then.
And on the surreal side of things, this could be my last dance night shift. 15 years of working these things and I'm waiting on final word of layoffs. The next dance is scheduled for the last day that those being laid off will be working.
aaauuuuggghhh! I was typing this message and 5 people from Conv. Ctr. management walked in. They are looking at all of the offices and thinking of changes. :mad: Is it wrong to feel the need to protect the space we have even as they are shoving the department out the door?

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
The shut down is at the usual 1 hour before the end of the event. At least this time it will be because of the normal "last call" and not because what happened at the last 2 dances...
Darph, skip the next line of text.
They ran out beer last time.
Sorry, I don't know how to do the spoiler text boxes when I'm tired.

Surf's Up!!
An Alaska man described by his family as a "daredevil" died after "car-surfing" on the hood of a truck going more than 60 mph, the Fairbanks News-Miner reports.
Beth Ipsen, spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers, says a woman riding in the truck told officers that Roman Retynski, 34, suddenly announced he wanted to go "surfing' and clambered out onto the hood of the fast-moving truck, the paper reports.
The woman, whose name was not released, said she "lost" Retynski along the road and was unable to find him. The woman, who told troopers that Retynski had been drinking, got in touch with his brother who found the body the next day, the paper reports.
Retynski's mother, Ruth Retynski, told the News-Miner: "This is Roman. He was the daredevil of the family." She said Retynski thought he was invincible.
Retynski's friends said he had car-surfed at least 100 times since he was 15, the paper says.
