1. Having survived a few in the past, all I can say is...

Having survived a few in the past, all I can say is,

"DEAR GOD! NOOOO!!!! THE MEMORIES!!! MAKE THEM STOP!!!!"

:freak:

2. I have that to look forward to

Fortunately my older son isn't quite 3, and still hasn't asked to go. Although he's seen the commercials, and has noted its existence when we passed by it, so it's only a matter of time.

I'm surprised you were able to post coherently :)

3. They're still around?

didn't know that. Maybe its just the ones around here that have closed

7. They're still around...

4. You aren't in Milwaukee, are you?

If so, did you come home with any bruises?

Police called 40 times this year to Chuck E. Cheese on Blue Mound Road

<snip>
Town of Brookfield - More than 40 times this year, police have been called to investigate incidents at a Blue Mound Road establishment, but it's not your ordinary problem-plagued gin mill.

It's Chuck E. Cheese, the pizza, game and birthday party paradise adored by children.

<snip>
The Chuck E. Cheese in West Allis, the closest to the Town of Brookfield location, has had four calls for police assistance this year to investigate thefts. Police and corporate representatives are baffled why the Town of Brookfield location would have 10 times the number of police calls.

Here's what police reports indicate has happened to patrons at 19125 W. Blue Mound Road:

Michael Moreland, 32, of Milwaukee was punched in the face by an unknown man on Jan. 4 after confronting him because he was rattling a game machine so hard that it was unplugging a neighboring machine on which Moreland's 8-year-old daughter was playing.

<snip>
In another incident, police warned two women Oct. 9 about disorderly behavior after the women exchanged threats and heated words because lettuce from one woman's plate spilled onto the other woman's plate while they were at the salad bar.

On Oct. 19, two other women, Cassandra Pearson, 29, of Milwaukee and Linda J. Millard, 38, of Waukesha received tickets alleging disorderly conduct after Millard had called Pearson an alcoholic, and Pearson dumped her soda in Millard's lap, the police report says. The women were arguing over the treatment of the children with them.

5. Oh, you poor thing.

Sit down, put your feet up, let's get you the beverage of your choice. Ibuprofen? Ice pack, or heating pad?

The only thing worse than Chucky Cheese is a Chucky Cheese franchise that doesn't sell beer. Oh, NO!

[DivinBreuvage]

6. They're not SO bad... then again, I do like beer

and Chuck E. wisely serves it! I've been to a couple of parties for nieces and nephews (no kids of our own yet) and my only issues with them are that the dancing "Chuck E. Cheese" in costume is too intimidating for littler kids, some people hog the games, and some of the grownups are real jerks. The kids have the time of their lives though, and the pizza was surprisingly good.

When I was little I always felt a little sad that I never got to have a birthday party, so I don't begrudge being dragged to one for the little ones in my life today.
