Sorry USA... From Canada

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.

Do we really want to get into that one? I think the water says it all.

Bruce McCulloch another funny Canadian, The Kids in the Hall (Bruce McCulloch, Dave Folley and others) are going to be filiming a made for TV movie in my neck of the woods. My company is supplying them with a lot of the transportation they need for the scenes and to get from location to location. Should be exciting.

Watching these videos has been fun. I love how "different" our two countries are yet how much we are the same. Here is to the two best countries in the world.... Canada and the USA. sorry guys Canada is number 1 but you guys are a close second :D:

I had the amazing experience of touring coast-to-coast in Canada with a singing group back in 1981, and even staying with many families along the way. A few of my hosts, and one memorable one in particular, expressed dismay at how little most Americans know about Canada, while they learn so much about us. The one I'm thinking of was able to poke fun with a lot of humor -- He was particularly laughing at how some Americans, when they found out he was from Canada, would ask him questions like, "Oh, do you know John Smith from Toronto?" (he lived in Calgary). As he put it, "as if Canada was a street."

He was able to catch some of us in our ignorance, but never mean-spirited -- like pointing to a piece of furniture and asking us, "Do you know what we call this in Canada? No? A chair." :rolleyes:

I'm originally from Québec, eh, Montréal and thereabouts.

Again, on behalf of all 7 million Quebecers, let me just apologise for releasing Céline Dion on the Rest of Canada and the World.

We're very sorry. Nous sommes très désolés.
