Conduct at Chuck E. Cheese described as 'madness'

The wobbly video shows a group of adults mulling inside Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Susquehanna Twp. Suddenly it pans left and captures a fight breaking out.

The 22-second clip, uploaded Sunday to YouTube, is the latest example of what police describe as a disturbing and bizarre crime trend: escalating violence among adults at a place designed for children's birthday parties.

Susquehanna Township police have been called to the restaurant on Union Deposit Road 12 times in the past year for reports of disorderly conduct, assault and theft. Those calls have resulted in 13 arrests, including six women -- five adults and a juvenile -- charged with disorderly conduct in a Saturday-night brawl.

In 2007, police responded to the restaurant 18 times for similar offenses.

"It's madness, absolute madness," Susquehanna Twp. Police Chief Robert A. Martin said.

Martin said he believes much of the violence stems from ongoing disputes among people who bump into each other in the restaurant. "They see each other at Chuck E. Cheese, and before you know it an argument turns into something physical."

Sadly? My one experience at Chuck E. Cheese was a descent into hell fueled by rotten food.

Will Audi be next?

I knew a girl named Chevelle. At least her parents spelled it correctly.

Audi would likely be Owdie.

I used to work next door to a Chuck E Cheese which has since closed. There always seemed to be something fairly trailer-park-esque going on there at any hour of the day or night. You would see gangs of kids just running wild in there while the mothers were seated at a table, polishing off a jug of wine at two in the afternoon. One time a guy lost his .22 pistol in the restroom, and some six year old found it and brought it into the ball pit. There is another article on the web today about a Chuck E Cheese in Flint, MI where the police are virtually living there (I know the neighborhood, and am not at all surprised).

So named because she was born in the back of a 911.

Later it was revealed that the 9-1-1 was not a member of the Porsche line of automobiles.

“Once when I was coming home on a vacation from Iraq I was driving from DFW to OK to check on some storage stuff. I was still tired and strung out from the heat and hours in Iraq then my (bad) back went out. It was night time and I was totally lost and disoriented. I pulled off onto an exit and pulled into a parking lot to call the fiance for help. She asked where I was and being out of it the only thing I could tell her was I was “in a parking lot with a giant g-d rat over me”. She realized I was under the sign of a Chuckie Cheese, looked up which one online and gave me directions to get back on the right interstate.”

Chuckie’s single positive contribution to civilization.

I’m always shocked at the number of mothers who don’t have a name ready. It’s like the baby snuck up on them.Or that they have to wait for the baby to be born to figure out who the daddy is.

“It looks like Dakota.”
“Nah it look like Latrelle”
“No it’s Bobby Lee’s baby”
“Any of them men got money?”
“Dakota got some”
“Then I say it looks like Dakota”

Our local Chuck E Cheese isn’t too bad (just outside Akron, OH). Last time we went there were only a handful of people there, it was clean and relatively quiet, and we didn’t have to stand in line for a ridiculously long time to redeem those stupid tickets for plastic breakable junk.

Oh and the big rat only passed by us once and kept on going - my oldest daughter, who is 11, LOATHES him (she’s always been wary of large costume-clad characters, kinda like how I feel about clowns) so we encouraged the teen under the suit to just walk on by.

So we had a pretty decent time of it. Of course, we went at 5 pm on a Thurs night the week before Christmas, so no doubt all the fight-inclined folks that night were down the street at the mall.

They serve beer at Chuck E. Cheese.

This is the only reason I could stand to take my kids there. Of course none of this crap was going on back in the day.

Chuck E. Cheese is all that is soulless and wrong.

There comes a moment, during every Chuck E Cheese visit, when the curtains open, and the animatronic band pops up and begins to play. That's the moment that, if you weren't already aware, that you've left Earth ... left the Solar System ... heck, left this whole dimension ... and entered Bizzaro World.

If I were ever to build a rifle & pistol amusement park, one of the ranges would be a re-creation of the Chuck E Cheese stage.
