Anyway, it's not the surfing that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.
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.

One of my neighbors died last year by being pulled in a shopping cart behind a truck. He hit a speed bump and fell out.....

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
there is a (morbid) running joke between DW and myself. When we see stories about such things, usually a comment from a friend or family will be that "He/she died doing what they enjoyed/loved"
I always say the OPERATIVE word in those type of statements is DIED!
just another example of A Darwin Award!

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

It's a gif. If you're on a slow link it might take a while.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Zazu, you zinged very well. :D: My point, tho mute now, dial up is slower in some areas than other areas. My sister in NorCal told me this when she moved from a city to ranch area. Possibly I should stick to that which I know best. However, if I did this I'd probably have only 4 posts.Zazu wrote:What, like dial-up is nirvana elsewhere?!?
