    Dez Bryant and the Cowboys did this shitty economy a small favor.

    Too many rich people sit on their fortune. It's great to see a rich person spend the shit out of it.

    I'll be taking my son to Chuck E. Cheese in a few minutes, our usual Thursday extravagance.

    Instead of splurging for the chicken ciabatta, I think I'll drop a fin off at the homeless shelter on the way.

    That OK with everyone? Should I alert Peter King?

    And then consider what percentage it is of his take-home pay. And that's he probably got 10 years or so to make this kind of money, then it's over.

    I think Peter should start drinking service station coffee instead of $5 Latte's at Starbucks

    Just don't eat the pizza there. That's some vile shit.

    Do they still have the animatronic singing animals? God, I hope so. I also hope it's one of the few places around where you can still play a good game of bubble hockey.

    Yes, to both...

    I'm there at least once a month and the last three times we've been there, no pizza was ordered.

    The only time I was in a Chuck E Cheese, a little kid was taking a leak into the ball pit. Just sayin.

    As for monetary abuses in pro sports, it seems if you're going to get indignant on behalf of financially stricken Americans, you should start with stadiums that charge $5 for a bottle of water, ten bucks for a pizza no bigger than a CD, and the rest of the outrageous prices that directly affect fans, instead of fussing over the spending habits of the irresponsibly wealthy.

    Given Chuck E. Cheese's sordid past, I'm surprised the kid's parent wasn't right there next to him taking a dump.

    I hate these places with a level of passion that sometimes concerns me. Sure the food sucks and the ball pit is a health hazard but what bothers me most is the noise. Ten birthday parties going on simultaneously, each featuring at least two uncontrollably screaming kids, plus music, bells, whistles and sirens coming from each of the different games. If you ever read about a man going berserk inside one of these places with a whack-a-mole mallet, it will probably be me.

    I hope you whack all of the parents and half the kids.
