A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
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.

We're very sorry. Nous sommes très désolés.
I'll go ahead and say it: What were you thinking?
But in other news, the last time I was in Canada, it was very cool for Little Wallaby and me to tour all the places in Kansas that they use for Smallville.

So wrong in so many ways.
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?

BW, It all depends on the time of year you go. Right now out in the west coast it has been hovering around 37c not sure what that is in F but I am guessing it is damn hot in what ever scale you use. Now come to my neck of the woods in say February well you would be talkin -40c which is the opposite of damn hot.
That is why we all head down to the world in the winter.

37c is 98.6F and -40c is -40F. (Gotta love Google!)
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Aw, Shorty, you beat me to it. I have this little book put out by Dennison back in 1977 that gives English to Metric conversions and vice versa. They had a lot of little books on various subjects back then. It's well worn, but still servicable. It also has cute little cartoons to illustrate the differences between the two systems. Best thing about it is, if the power goes off or I'm having a bad computer day, I can still get the information I need to convert from or to English to metric. And I don't have to wade through a huge almanac to find it, either. I hate getting distracted. ;)

I thought that the video was funny. That said, I don't see why people get offended over stuff like that. If it really offends you, you could go up there and take care of business, Canadians don't have guns. Well, go to the right places and they don't have guns. :p:
Stupidity is not a handicap, stand elsewhere.

Hey Big Wallaby, the Smallville sights in Cloverdale are just 40 minutes down the road from me. I live in Abbotsford and work downtown Vancouver. I always found it so amazing that Smallville, Kansas was that green instead of the yellow and brown you expect from mid-west prairie towns.
