Chuck E Cheese

[ducatiz]

My favorite part and pretty damn accurate

", I had an immediate flashback to the NY subway system in the '80s: Loud, dangerous, overcrowded, urine soaked."

we only left nyc 2 years ago and that's how it was then, esp in the BBQ trains.

oh come on, cec is basically a  microcosm of the working adult world, it still smells like urine, its still everyone being irresponsible, its greasy food, its dirty, its hell, but oh so fun...  just like the real adult world.

Same goes for those fast food playgrounds.

You say that now...We'll see in a few years.

I'm not really a germ-a-phoebe but you might want to consider bathing your son in a 55 gallon drum of purell.

First, good read, and you deserve credit for going there and toughing it out.  Attach this PTSD pin on your Dadscounts sash.    

I went to one a few years ago, when my niece was of Chuck E Cheese age.  As a non-parent (at the time) I was astounded to see that you could buy beer there.  For about a fraction of a second.  It went something like "holy cow, you can buy bee-  oooohhh."

I think some of you guys are doing it wrong. The last time I was at Chuck E Cheese I was 27 years old. My brother (30 at the time) and I were piss drunk and driving to the next bar when we passed C E C. we HAD to stop. They serve beer there! Even if you're drunk and there without children, apparently. we spent a joyous hour chugging pitchers of Miller High Life and throwing minifootballs through little holes to win tickets. Good times. And the kid we handed the fist full of tickets to on the way out looked like he just won the lottery.

/save the drunk driving speech, I've learned my lesson

Good one! That's the only "good times" CEC adult story I've ever heard!! They should make being sort of drunk a requirement for all adults before entering!! They'd get better reviews... and there would be more drunken fight stories as was posted earlier.

Here's the thing about getting drunk: If it turns you into such a raging asshole that you would get into a fist fight at a children's playground - DON'T DO IT! I drink because drinking makes me happy and relaxed. If I had a tray of 20 different drugs in front of me I would pick the booze every time. Not everyone has a positive experience with every drug. If alcohol affects you negatively then smoke some pot. Or take some Vicodin. Or trip. Or whatever puts you in your happy place. Don't impair yourself in a way that makes you a belligerent asshole. My advice to the kids out there is not "Just say no" but rather, try a bunch of different drugs (use a safe and controlled environment for the first time) to find out which ones make you happy and so you can avoid those that don't. That way when you are older and forced to go to some brat's party at Chuck E Cheese you will have a tolerable time instead of turning it into a make the beast with two backsing brawl.

Chucky Cheese Hell

JM

You beat me to it... I clicked on this thread for the sole purpose of posting that video.  


So instead I'll share this...

Back in high school one of my brother's buddies would occasionally say he couldn't do something with us because he had to go to work.  Never would tell us where he worked though.

So we put together a covert operation one Saturday and tailed him to work.  You guessed it, he wound up disappearing into the back door or the local Chuck E. Cheese.

Busting his balls over this was absolutely mandatory, so we proceeded to find a parking spot.

We waited a little while and then headed inside for the confrontation.  We asked the dude at the desk where we could find Chris.  "He's still getting dressed" was his response.  How was he still getting dressed?  It'd been 15 minutes since he'd gotten there...

The next line will forever be etched in my memory.  "It takes him a while to get into that mouse outfit."  Holy shit, you've gotta be kidding me.

I really wish I had a picture of our faces upon receiving this golden nugget of information.

You can guess the rest of what happened.  And of course he was addressed as Mr. Cheese for the remainder of his high school career.

holy crap that is funny.

I would have SO worn that costume to parties....

I didn't see Jesus and jump off a building because I thought I could fly. I didn't microwave the baby or swallow broken glass.

I laughed my ass off for 10 hours straight. Now why can't I make a public service announcement?

Take off from the ground you moron. You don't see ducks lining up to catch elevators to fly south for the winter.

Huh...  Now realizing that I've never been to a CeC.  And, lucky for me, my only child is over that age...

Good read though!!
