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.

Now you know why I am such a Hillbilly-genetic! :D:
No, did not get to play the fiddle, that must be new, we did not have that part of the show. But he would come over to where I was sitting and make faces at me and laugh and yell at me! I was howling! He was cute too, without the hillbilly teeth! hehehe

Berkeley must have gotten the idea of the mini street cleaners from Paris. They've got these guys dressed in bright green out cleaning the sidewalks and streets every morning.
We had plenty of head shops in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. With Ken Kesey up the hill...
We had Kepler's for books and World's Indoor Records for old vinyl. World's got wiped out by Tower Records. They were HUGE!
We finally got a full sized Barnes & Noble on this end of the island. Civilization at last!

Ah, I like the old bookstores! They are so much fun to go into and sit down among the stacks and read. Although I do admit, Barnes is great for ordering new books and getting them fast! I like Amazon for that reason as well.
We have a huge home library! HUGE! Thousands of books which are so much fun to pack up and move...NOT! But I will not leave my books behind or give them away! I LOVE books and reading.

"Randy's SG hall of shame!!"

Why block their faces? (of course, I still haven't managed to post the SG's pic from last trip, still trying to get kids to help me out:rolleyes :)
Horrifying video on YouTube called something like "Racist Guest At Disneyland"
I hope offender gets embarrassed at the very least. The person posting did have a pretty good sense of humor, making fun of the offender. :twisted:

Fat guy loses weight, sues jail. If this was out he'd probably be an SG.

LOL Tis a shame, he no longer looks like a obese beady eyed criminal. Instead he just an overweight beady eyed criminal.
DUDE! Meghyn prints better then he does. Yeesh! I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe his schooling lacked proper instruction in handwriting. >>>>NO I"M NOT!

Yeah, that's one of the things I miss about LA: Acres of Books in Long Beach. It's almost the only reason I've *ever* been to that town. The one other time was the last day of operation of the Pacific Electric. Rode the last of the Big Red Cars downtown just to have lunch at Chason's, and to say that I did.
We have a huge home library! HUGE! Thousands of books which are so much fun to pack up and move...NOT!
Tell me about it! Moving to Tennessee we shipped 120 boxes of books. Moving to Florida I rented a truck and made three trips. Not sure I *dare* move again.
And of course, now I'm in charge of a library that's in storage. Somebody else moved it it, but I get to move out about 800 1.5' boxes, sixteen file cabinets, a 5' tall stack of map drawers, and a marble statue of Caesar Augustus that's taller than I am, plus a museum collection about the same size... once we find a place and the money to buy it. <sigh> So much for retirement!

Churchy gets into line for the new museum.
