That was the line that kept running through my head during my mental preparation for this post.<br /><br />I think Chuck E. should be there all the time. I mean, what else has he got going on?<br /><br />OK Chick - Must you encourage her? :)<br /><br />Xinh - You're the second person to mention Dave & Buster's. I suppose I need to check it out.<br /><br />Russianbrides - Svetlana?? Is that you!?!? Why won't you return any of my calls?<br /><br />Fledgling Poet - Thank you. I don't know what it is that makes kids want to go up the slide the wrong way. Probably the same thing that makes me always wanna go up the down escalator :)<br /><br />Violence among the parents? Geez, sounds like a little league baseball game.<br /><br />Mama Zen - Yessss! Working Huey into a post is not as easy as it looks.<br /><br />Charlotta - <i>It's the place where a kid (and adult pretending to be a kid) can be a kid.</i><br /><br />My thoughts exactly!<br /><br />So Showbiz changed into Chuck E.

I loved that place. We have one in town and I'd be lying if I said I've never been there. It's the place where a kid (and adult pretending to be a kid) can be a kid. <br /><br />Oh, and the pizza?

The last time we were there, my daughter got a lump the size of a golf ball on her head from some vagrant toddler who was climbing up the big tube slide the wrong way (while she was coming down). We had to make a trip to the emergency room. But I'm glad you enjoy the place, and at least if you're on the slide you have the advantage of size to avoid injury. *lol* :P<br /><br />Chuck E's has been in the news a lot this year...well, the ones in Pennsylvania, anyway. Lots of violence going on (among the parents, not the toddlers). Seriously...altercations of all kinds, right in front of the children.

Unfortunately not all people are blessed with this amazing feeling and we are ready to do our best to experience this lightness and complete happiness! How do you think, it this possible to find a person who is absolutely happy but doesn't love someone? No... This is impossible...<br />http://russianbridesint.com/Russianbrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623282447310111596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-83106618808944524082009-07-16T01:25:29.461-05:002009-07-16T01:25:29.461-05:00I have NEVER been to Chuck E Cheese, despite havin...I have NEVER been to Chuck E Cheese, despite having a friend when I was in high school who worked at one. <br /><br />I have, however, been to Dave and Busters.

But no. <br /><br />Susan - I'm glad to know I'm not the only one here who finds that extremely irritating.<br /><br />Michelle Johnson - Thank you. Well I'd probably have more trouble believing that had this not been the first time I'd been there myself :) <br /><br />PennyCandy - Thanks. Does that mean I can put you down as a reference when I apply for a marketing position with Chuck E. Cheese?<br /><br />Capn John - Ooo, Addams Family pinball!!!! They used to have that at the bowling alley. The Mamushka! Multi-ball! I loved that game.<br /><br />Daily Panic - Thanks :) I've heard of Dave & Buster's but never been to one. Sounds like a fun job though. I'll have to google it and see where the nearest location is.<br /><br />Working Mom - I hadn't thought of that. But I have seen kids cry when meeting Santa Claus, so I guess the same principles would apply.<br /><br />Renee - We used to have Showbiz Pizza, which I think was pretty much the same thing, but I never got to go there either.<br /><br />Yes, they really should pipe hand sanitizer to all the tables.<br /><br />Tickets? How about tossing out free tokens, Chuck? I can win my own tickets!Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-10924524668064163182009-07-15T09:44:35.828-05:002009-07-15T09:44:35.828-05:00I suppose it is a right of passage that every adul...I suppose it is a right of passage that every adult at one point in their life is subjected to this place. When I was a kid we had something like C-E-C but a different rat...what is it with a rat selling cardboard with greasy cheese on it that is so appealing?<br /><br />At any rate DD is not a fan. She will go, but she doesn't really like to. In fact she calls it Yucky Squeeze. Which makes me most appreciative of my girl. It is too noisy in there, I think someone should mention the decimal levels in there are high enough for permanent hearing loss.<br /><br />Oh and I would highly recommend hand sanitizer in the jumbo gallon size!<br /><br />And we've met Chuck E in person...he comes out occasionally tossing tickets in the air and posing for pictures.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-85352141766602242052009-07-15T09:43:24.066-05:002009-07-15T09:43:24.066-05:00I have been there when Chuck E. is alive and in pe...I have been there when Chuck E. is alive and in person.

They do not have the climby thing, but plenty of games. I used to work at one in South FL -I was a hostess and Coordinator of Murder Mystery dinner theater.

And a mate & I took advantage of that, although we are both big, tall guys so it was a little cramped in there...especially on the slide.<br /><br />My local Chuck E. Cheese has a Nascar Pinball machine in the corner. It's the only Pinball machine there, it's the only machine that doesn't reward tickets, and like the rest of the machines it's just 1 token per game. Where else can you play Pinball for a quarter a game? I'd prefer it were The Addams Family, but beggars can't be choosers.Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-11705963049909863472009-07-15T08:31:12.632-05:002009-07-15T08:31:12.632-05:00Ah yes for me those days are long gone.

When I was younger I would get so frustrated at C-E-C. I was horrible at the games and I wouldn't get very many tickets. I usually ended up with the worst prize because I only had 45 tickets and Sister #1 would have 80. It was sad. <br /><br />I always liked the show from the fake Chuck-E-Cheese Band. I mean, it gave us something to watch while we ate.OK Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729372117518869463noreply@blogger.com
