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.

Oops... sorry! I drafted it -- must've hit "Preview" instead of "Submit" again. I hate it when that happens! Here you go:
Lots of laugh-out-loud entries this week – the Broncos’ Super Bowl drubbing was at least inspirational humor-wise! Congratulations to my VM brother
G Scott Lewis on his first win!
Honorable Mentions:
DisneyMom: "
'Conceal… Don't Feel… Put on a show… Make one wrong move and everyone will know…' - Brad picks a bad time to sing his
Frozen medley.";
Jeff Lavelle: "During a last minute half-time pep talk, Wombat quotes one of his favorite motivational speeches of all time:
'It just doesn't matter!!! It just doesn't matter!!!'" (from
Meatballs);
Larry E Collins: "Tim Tebow called. He prayed for Seattle.";
Joe Hoofnagle: "Throw the ball to the guys in the
orange shirts."; and
Chase Gooding: "I was so looking forward to riding Space Mountain with you.”
Thanks to all who entered!

Larry E Collins: "Don't tick off Putin, don't tick off Putin, Don't tick off Putin, Don't tick off.... uhoh. DARN SNOWFLAKE!!!!"; and
Larry Lozuk, with a little behind-the-scenes humor from

I love ProPresenter, and all the programs that go with it. Interestingly, while it is certainly a church-heavy software and advertised (I think) exclusively to churches, there is no reason you couldn't use it in any other sort of live production.
And if it's freezing again, you must be using version 5 on a PC. Or a Mac. Just version 5 in general... beautiful, but shipped out with some gremlins.
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?

Yeah, we have had our issues with 5. And 4. Come to think of it, every new version seems to have a few kinks. We are running it on a brand-new Mac, and do our best to have PP be the only thing running, usually after a reboot. That seems to be the best way to have everything go smoothly.

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 7. Kept it simple this week. How would you caption this picture? Comment below!
The same pic will show here, on
Facebook, and on
The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.

"Mommy, how do the wombats know to cross the street at the 'Wombat Xing' signs?"
