Funny, I didn't see anything about it being from a coaster. I don't want to have to put my head through the monitor to see it, either. Anyway, in my family we didn't really use coasters except for the rare occaison we had guests.
I once read a sci-fi story about these guys in a long-term space program, and they weren't allowed to have certain foods, notably pizza, on board, at the behest of the ship's nutritionist. Anyway, one of the guys on the ship was kind of a pain in the tail, always joking around, and one day this one guy who had a secret stash of pizzas hidden on a small asteroid--to keep them cold, of course, as well as hidden--got one of his pizzas at a time when everyone else was in bed, heated it in the oven, and was about to enjoy it when something called him away. When he got back, Pain-In-The-Butt was there, just finishing off his pizza. Anyway, his attempt to choke the guy was interrupted by the need to get out of there before the nutritionist showed up. Later in the story, the guys on the station are under attack--don't remember what from--and Pain-In-The-Butt recieves a mortal wound. Before dying, he manages to tell the Pizza Guy two things; one, read Section 18 of the manual, and two, he's sorry he ate his pizza. Later, Pizza Guy reads the section in the manual in question, and it turns out Pain-In-The-Butt was a morale-booster, one who kept everybody on their toes by doing outrageous stuff to his crewmates. So he gets another one of his pizzas, heats it up, and gives half of it to the nutritionist with an explanation, as well as a request to keep quiet about this. She agrees. By the end of the story, Pizza Guy learns that Pain-In-The-Butt's replacement is on his way, and he's wondering what kinds of stunts he's going to pull.
Another Good Property For Disney To Get

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.
