Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I've mentioned before that my idea of hell on earth is a meal at Chuck E. Cheese, but if a Michigan franchise gets its way, they'll be easing the pain for parents with beer and wine offerings--adults only, of course. Other Chuck E. Cheese franchises offer alcoholic beverages, but one township trustee thought it was a bad idea, saying, "It's a fun kid place. Just leave it like that."
Eating rubbery pizza with fake-tasting sauce while listening to the whir and jangle of ten thousand games going at once and trying to make small talk with other parents while our kids race around on a birthday-cake induced sugar high is not my favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and yet I seem to end up there several times a year. If I can take the medicine with a spoonful of sugar--er, a glassful of wine--it might not taste so bad.

We had a surprise mock pirate birthday party for a buddy of ours that hit 30 at a Chuck E. Cheese and all with all those screaming kids milling about, a little sauce is almost required to keep the parents sane.

Scott, I can't imagine a better concept!
