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.

Re: Today's Musical Find
Paul Frees was famous for his habit of taking the full hour for a voiceover session, no matter how short the line to be taped. It was a point of honor to him, and a source of unending entertainment for the recording studio staff (and friends).
Imagine if you will, Dr. Ludwig von Drake giving a 58-minute lecture on the mating habits of Homo Domesticus, with interruptions by Qwisp and Quake, that included somewhere within it a two-line reading for the new Pillsbury Doughboy ad. You'd have to tape the whole hour to get the ad because you'd be too busy bent over laughing to hit the Record button when the time came. None of the rest of it would be publishable, but all of it hilarious.
To read more about this legendary nutcase, I recommend his biography, "Welcome, Foolish Mortals: The Life and Voices of Paul Frees" by Ben Ohmart. ISBN---1-59393-004-6.

Re: Today's Musical Find
I will be buying that book. It will look good, well-worn, on my new entertainment-center-turned-bookcase (we're ditching the TV in lieu of a projector) in my new house. Those who know me and haven't been over need to do so. But let me get a couch and a dining room table and chairs first.
Oh, and down the road you're gonna love the train set layout. Model Railroad club seeks members, PM me for more info.

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?
