That’s not what yo mamma said.

Wow. That’s one of the oddest, dumbest political/economic metaphors I’ve ever heard. As a skeeball-lovin’ liberal ;), I think but the OP sounds like it comes from Schoolhouse Rocks! or Sesame Street…
on crack…
But then again, He does give His extra points to the neighborhood children (isn’t that nice?)
See, I wasn’t gonna abandon a fellow DOGMAtist!
you know, as my politics have drifted left over the years, I have noticed a marked drop off in my skeeball skills.
I’m with Mr 2001:
The only real moral of this story is, your Chuck E. Cheese’s SUCKS ASS.
I just took my son to a b-day party there (I know, I know, I once wrote a pit rant saying it was my version of hell of earth) and they didn’t have any sectioned-off “free games.” All games were 1 token, and birthday guests each got a little cup of tokens to go blow.
Rooves, if you’re going to troll-bomb a thread, at least get in the spirit and do it context.
The Clinton administration balancing the budget would be equivalent to the Chuck E. Cheese owner succeeding at running the arcade because he doesn’t do a damn thing to change it. Instead, he’s in the back getting head from the checkout girl.
The Bush administration sees kids stealing tickets, change, prizes & whatever, and devotes the arcade’s profits (and future profits) into terminating said offenders with extreme prejudice.
Very nice OP, Scylla. Sorry about the touchy wankers who got all pissy – I thought it was hilarious.
You think?
Me (a liberal, mind you), I’ll just play skeeball (which I love) in moderation, and within the limits of the number of quarters I have. Some of us (liberals, that is), really aren’t looking for a handout from you, Scylla - I’d just as soon laugh at you for spending so much money for a bunch of worthless crap.
But as long as you’re spending time with your kid, I’ll keep it to myself. I can be politic when required.

So i went to the conservative Chuck E. Cheese (The E stands for Elephant!) and they told me to get lost, as my poor ass couldn’t afford to play their million dollar games. They did build the entire restarant with glass walls, so me and all the other poor kids can see all the rich kids having fun, while we have 2 rocks and a stick to play with. You’d think we could just ignore them, but they make the schools bus us in and force us to watch, all of it sponsered by Chuck E. Cheese corp, and the school does it because they desperatly need funds. The rich kids all play games where they shoot lots of people, showing their support for the NRA. To make matters worse, Conservative Chuck E. Cheese got 100% tax breaks to build their restarant, and still pay no taxes, as they threaten the local government with moving away if they are forced to pay and taking their jobs with them. Not that many of the jobs are worked by locals, many go to illegal immigrants which the chuck E. Cheese corp can push around without complaints because INS will take care of anyone who doesn’t want to work 20 hour days for minimum wage. What a fun day having fun that was! And that was before i was called a terrorist because of my shoes or something…
This sounds a little like the CEC in Redmond, where I used to take my kids when we lived there. The guy running the arcade was anywhere but where he should have been.
And this sounds like the CEC we once went to in Tacoma.
You’re not from around here, are you?

You can never go wrong reading a Scylla post.
unless of course, you have no sense of humor.
Just to clarify a point. I didn’t go to Chuck E. Cheese.
I went to the Family Amusement Center, which is kind of like an inferior Chuck E. Cheese. The Chuckster’s over an hour away.
And for all you naysayers and those who take issue with my OP, all I can say is…
I have a Giant Spongebob Squarepants! Where’s your Giant Spongebob, huh?
Say what you want. Success speaks for itself.
Y’all better be nice, or I’ll start a thread about how The Matrix is really a condemnation of liberalism.
You wouldn’t dare!
Well, that’s your problem! If you were Liberal, you could get legislation passed making Chuckies get zoned right next door to your house to save the spotted chickadee!
I’d love to see that, especially how you work in the George Bush cameo. Mostly because those movies aren’t special and deserved to get mocked. Make sure you talk about Plato’s cave allegory because that always gets brought up in those threads.
(A) I didn’t really want to know about your – ahem – “Giant Spongebob Squarepants,” and
(B) That’s a rather personal question, isn’t it?
Another classic?
Nah, missed on this one.
Too long winded, not clear enough in concept, generally mean spirited and entirely self-indulgent and self-congrulatory. I think Scylla’s been reading too many of his own press clippings.
Besides, skee-ball fucking sucks.

I think you’re right. It was fun to do it, though.
Spoken like a typical liberal embittered by his Spongeboblessness.
