As David and I prepare for Thanksgiving in Edmonton,
one of our major requests is to live it up at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Because, hey why the hell not. And besides David has never been there. Ok and Jalen & Kennedy love it too!
Anyway, I used to work there when I was 15. It was the best job I ever had...trust me.
Free candy, tokens, toys, discounted pizza and every so often, a TALL Chuck or Helen Henny
would appear...that was just crazy stupid fun!
So today my friend Sid that writes for the Montreal Gazette sent me a story he has going around his office. And really I had to post this story below as it deals with both THE LAW (for Davids sake) and also for the laughter of myself once dressing as the giant rat...IMAGINE!

Angry mother batters giant rat
Chuck E. Cheese's is pizza and paradise for
children, but not so for giant
rats that cross angry mothers.
"The rodent got ransacked," Macon, Ga., police
officer Roy Chesnutt said of
the alleged beating the restaurant chain's mascot - a gray rodent with large
front teeth - received at the hands of 31-year-old Keisha Guiche.
The incident
occurred June 27 when the Macon woman visited the local Chuck
E. Cheese's restaurant to celebrate her child's birthday. Police reports say
Guiche was frustrated that the mascot, 17-year-old Jasmine Murchison, was
spending more time with other children and not paying enough attention to
her child.
The costumed Murchison and an assistant were leading other children
in a
dance at the time Guiche became upset, Chesnutt said. She failed to get
their attention despite her vocal protests.
"She asked them, 'Hey, what about
my kid? Pay attention to my kid!' She
expected them to stop, but they didn't," the officer said.
Guiche grabbed
Murchison by the arm. But Murchison allegedly ignored the
irate mother and continued dancing with the children.
According to witnesses,
Guiche then said, "I'm going to whip Chucky E.
Cheese's ass if she gets out of that costume."
Guiche allegedly threw a slice
of pizza at Murchison and then punched the
mascot.
Murchison reported the incident to her manager who called police.
Guiche
admitted to police that she grabbed the mascot initially but denied hitting
her.
No arrests were made. Murchison's family has urged her to file charges,
Chesnutt said. If she does, Guiche would face simple battery charges for the
tossed pizza slice.
