Need I say more about my experience there this evening?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....

....gone to Top That!

Just be sure to stop at McDonald's for drinks beforehand.

I had a seven year old demanding video games. I demand pity, and right now.

Ok...you have my pity...right now!!  Seven year old - geez, guy, why didn't you let me know that was the age we are talking about before now...!!???  I would have gone MUCH easier on you these past months if I had only known!!  This explains soooo much... I almost feel like I should apologize or something...

Well, maybe not apologize, but hey, I will try to let this new found knowledge help temper our future interactions and will be thinking of you when I may be tempted to really drive hard at some point.... you have a seven year old!!  Condolences!!


Actually, 7 is a pretty fun age for kids.  You ought to be having a blast with him/her right now!  I have a whole flock of nieces, nephews, etc in that range and they are just a lot of fun.  WAY too much energy, though,...I am starting to have a little trouble keeping up. 

In serious vein - you know that I hate to try to tell people what to do or unduly influence their thoughts or the way they live (lol...), but if you and Mrs G aren't having tons of fun with him/her/them at this point, you are missing something that will haunt you later....law practice and making mega bucks will always be around...those kids "vanish" like fog in the desert!  And they grow up just like the Harry Chapin song says.

In other news, Guido, I feel sorrow for the evil you endured.  Incredible Pizza should cease to exist.  It is a horrible thing to experience.

Apparently, you haven't been to chuck-e-cheese recently. Your scale will slide dramatically.

Just glad my daughters are out of that demographic now.  Of course, I'm sure I will be collared in to either Upchuck Cheeze's or Inedible Pizza for my grand kids some day. 

It's been a long time since I've been in the rathouse, yes. 

I've been in Incredible Pizza a few times over the years and have been overcome with the bacteria level and my imagination.  The clientele and management have driven me away forever. 

The boy will never know the interior of this den of evil by any of my actions.

Just wait until he gets older and gets invited to a Chuck E Cheese or Bounce U party every other week.

You know the line, I don't even have to post it.

I'll tell him those are the "dark places" the after-school specials and health class warned him about.

They still have after-school specials?  They still allow health class?

I'll just show him the very special Different Strokes episode with Gordon Jump and tell him that's where he lives.

Bounce U isn't too bad.  I've attended a birthday party there with my kids.

One of my kids is begging for a party at Bounce U this spring.  Its a tough decision as a parent.  Right up there with college choices.

It's nowhere near chuck-e-cheese level, but boy do they make a mint by letting people jump around in a thing they bought 5 years ago.

Would rather spend time in a Mexican prison than go to Incredible Pizza, but I forecast many future trips, at least until my kids are older or I am dead.

As for Bounce U, if they turned one of those party rooms into a bar with one way glass for the parents, they would be on to something.

I was thinking the same thing as I stood there watching the precision with which they run the kids through their system.

I'd be happy if they had bench seating for more than 4 people.

It's a liability.  They don't want anyone to fall off of a chair and hurt themselves.  ;)

So about two years ago they took out bowling and added the trampoline park, now they took over the 20,000sqft next door and added new bowling lanes, teacup ride, and a roller coaster among other things. It's turning into Bells with a roof.

One of the nice things about getting older is that my kids are too old for Incredible Pizza.

If there is anything Incredible about this place. It's not the Pizza.  ::)

You mean In-edible Pizza?

What happened to Guido.....???

I think his head exploded when Obamacare was upheld.....

That's likely not covered under Obamacare.....

Look at what was going down about the time he quit.
