When Tierney and Taylor were little kids, they spent many hours playing in Chuck E. Cheese. Taylor saved his tickets for 3 years and turned them in all at once. He got a lava lamp and about 10 other huge prizes. Tierney would turn in her 40 or 50 tickets each trip and get things like new pencils, erasers or plastic bugs. Linda got so good at Skee-ball that she would always beat the high score. Her second favorite game was Whack-a-Mole. She still plays it with her little TKD students. Only the moles are the kids and she whacks them with a pool noodle. It is their favorite blocking drill of all times. A Massachusetts man did not have nearly as much fun at CEC's during his son's birthday party. Chuck E., the mascot was out mingling in his mouse suit. A few kids got a little excited and jostled him. By accident, an 11 year old boy was pinned against a video game. The boys dad went crazy and ripped off the mascots head and yelled at the 19-year old guy inside. Witnesses confirmed that the Dad was at fault and a judge fined him $500 for assault on a large rat. Dad should have stuck with the Whack-a-Mole, not Whack-a-Rat.
