Rumors
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: Rumors
I can't imagine that they don't. Kinda like kids that used to send mail to
Santa Claus
North Pole
Earth
there have to be kids that write e-mails to [email protected]. Why not have a way that they can get a response?
TYPED, BUT NOT READ, APPARENTLY.

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: Rumors
Wow. I can't believe I started a sentence without capitalizing it. I am usually pretty good about rereading my posts before hitting send. To my fellow grammar geeks, I apologize profusely.

(Yes, "sort've" was intentional)
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I know but I couldn't do it without explaining it! The grammar geek in me wouldn't let me, it was painful enough to write it with an explanation.Goofyernmost wrote:Sorry, it just doesn't work when you have to explain it!!

Oh, and I have made similar mistakes since then. I am now able to blame it on a keyboard that I am not used to and switching my computer to Ubuntu, since it behaves differently.
The only part for which I have no excuse is the fact that I hadn't taken the time to reread it. I am going to modify that post to say "Typed, but not read." That gets me out of any grammatical blame. Yes, that's it.

Sounds like my favorite excuse, "It never happened; I didn't do it; and besides it was an accident!"
