Goat-Choker Trivia
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.

Actually, I'm wondering if Wombat is actually close with this one ... Each year, the Cast Activities department organizes a canoe race around Tom Sawyer Island. The teams try to come up with creative names ... for example, one of the teams that I've rowed with was the Toasted BLTs (fittingly, it was a team of Contemporary cast, paying tribute both to Bay Lake Tower, and the distinctive toaster-shape of the main building)BRWombat wrote:The name of Mexico's Crew team?

Re: Goat-Choker Trivia
Too funny. My son is highly involved in high school crew and loves watching the canoe practice.
Tijuana Row was the name given to the long line of portable trailers/contractor offices that sat behind Disneyland's Main Street during original construction.

Tijuana Row sounds like the motion used to propel oneself along the street on one's belly after a night of activity in Tijuana.

Hmm. How about the very first question I stumped my co-workers with when I joined Team Toaster:
Where is the Captain's Chair?

The others were funnier; we should award style points.

So Team Toaster really didn't know to send gentlemen guests to the 3rd floor for a haircut?
Where is everyone? The halls are echoing.

Nope. I included my management team in the quiz, and gave them a full week to research it, and nada!Stripes wrote:So Team Toaster really didn't know to send gentlemen guests to the 3rd floor for a haircut?
The following week is when the poster went up backstage, warning CMs not to bet against me.
Okay Stripes, I see I'm going to have to get tough with you. Let's try something a bit different:
How many different "official" explanations have you been given for why the pavement on Main Street is red?
Only one explanation per person, please. Let's see if anyone's heard one I haven't.

Trying to match wits is fun, but betting against you? Mama didn't raise a fool.The following week is when the poster went up backstage, warning CMs not to bet against me.
Let's see...I can think of 5 explanations right off hand that I have heard/been told. My favorite is that Kodak decided. :flash:
When the Magic Kingdom was built, Kodak was a major sponsor. In researching ways to help make guest’s photos look great, Kodak decided that the shade of red used contrasted beautifully with the building facades and greenery allowing for 'richer' pictures than standard gray.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
