Ghost Recorded on video
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.

On a different but related tack, I'm partial to "People who think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us who actually do." :D:

I see disney "experts" in the parks. that are always telling people disney facts. and lots of them are wrong. sort of funny and sad at the sametime.WEDFan wrote:On a different but related tack, I'm partial to "People who think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us who actually do." :D:

Re: Ghost Recorded on video
I get the occasional kid in junior sailing that thinks he knows everything. I'll tell them that must mean you can beat me in a race around the cans and I'm carrying at least twice the weight. We'll go out and I'll cover them with dirty air off the lee of the sail to kill their boat speed. If they were so smart they'd tack away into clean air but they never do.WEDFan wrote:On a different but related tack, I'm partial to "People who think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us who actually do." :D:

I have a metal plaque with that inscription on it. In fact it's about 3 feet away right now. I used to be on my desk before I retired. They loved me for it. :twisted:WEDFan wrote:On a different but related tack, I'm partial to "People who think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us who actually do." :D:

Re: Ghost Recorded on video
I really like that. Eventually I want one that says something to the effect, "If it's bad enough for you to complain to me, but it's not bad enough for you to help change it, then I don't need to hear it."hobie16 wrote:The sign on my desk read:

Still working on the wording to make it humorous.
That attitude comes from the story of the salesman who went to visit a house out in the country. As he walked up, there was a hound dog sitting on the porch, howling in misery.The salesman knocked on the door, and the owner of the house answered.
"Yeah?" asked the owner.
"What's up with your dog?" asked the salesman.
"Oh," replied the owner, "I reckon he's sitting on a nail."
"Why doesn't he get up?" asked the salesman.
"Well," said the owner, "it hurts enough to complain, but not enough to do anything about it."
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?

Re: Ghost Recorded on video
for the nautical set, I had this placard given to me for my desk:
Enlisted men are stupid, but extremely cunning and sly, and bear constant watching.
it was given to me by a senior enlisted man. I always displayed it when going over quarterly evaluations!

In the Army, the senior NCO's went with, "If they're not bitchin' they're plottin'."

Re: Ghost Recorded on video
I think you basically have it there -- just make it a bit more pithy. The first clause isn't really necessary. How about "If it's not bad enough for you to help change it, it's not bad enough for me to care."?Big Wallaby wrote:I really like that.
