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.

.....Speaking of food and New Years. What are your traditional foods for that day?. Pittsburgh area is usually Kielbasa and Saurkraut and mashed potatoes. A lot of ppl eat pork. I know down south black-eyed peas are a tradition so I kinda combine them both and have the peas on the side since Donnie doesnt like the kraut.
DW's father used to be a butcher many years ago, and owned his own shop in Boston, she got some of his receipies for sausage and a local shop made some for us..Tooo good, with boiled potatos and corn on the cob!! Add a cold brewski and its a great meal!!!

Adding a tiny bit of vanilla makes the best mashed potatoes, along with the requisite butter, garlic and milk. That is the way the southerners do it.
Talk about YUMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!! I LOVE potatoes any way they are fixed, a loaded baked, home fried in a skillet with butter and onions, mashed, but my all time time fave is my mom's 1950's style scalloped potatoes. Those cannot be beat!!!!!!!! No potato flakes allowed!!!!!! Yoikes!
sooze*potatoqueen*slicker.

BTW, DW and I switched to sweet potatos a while back (but don't add sugar!) as a substitute on a daily basis, the taste great baked!!
