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.

The number I was given to set up a conference call wouldn't go through when I typed it in first and then hit the dial button on the touch screen for the conferencing system. So I tried it again by hitting dial first to get the dial tone and then the system decided not to play nice. To dial out, you have to dial a 9 first and the number I was trying to call was outside our area code so 9+1+xxx-xxxx. Except when the system decides to double dial which is then read by the phone network as 9+911. Oops!
So I had to explain to her that the system had glitched and yes, we are where her read out screen says and no, we do not need any emergency response and we are very sorry for the mis-dial.
Finally got the conference call set up when they finally gave me another number to call into.
Isn't technology wonderful?
At least you talked to them! We have people in our office that just hang up. DPD has to roll a car out, then someone from our facilities department has to walk them through the entire office, open all closed doors (including interrupting meetings) to make sure no one is in trouble.
I love thinkgeek! GREAT stuff there for the geek in your family!

Rumor has Paris Hilton starring in an upcoming Disney movie. Is it another ride based flick?
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I dunno the priice. Get mine free. ;) Call & see how much they are. Have a CM buy you a gingerbread cookie Mon. or Tues. at the parties. There is a discount on foods. Have to be creative here. Buy a GB cookie then buy a can of B. Crocker frosting. Instant BTR cookie.
