Kids at Dave & Buster's
For those of you who don't know what Dave and Buster's is, it's like Chuck E. Cheese for grown ups. There is a restaurant (with food that's actually decent), pool tables, shuffleboard, and a bar at the front. At the back of the establishment is one big-ass arcade! Wooooo boy! They have all of your old favorites like Pac-Man, Centipede, and Space Invaders, as well as more modern arcade games, shooting games, virtual golf, and skee ball.

Now, let me tell you, I can play the shit out of some skee ball.

| I am da bomb at skee ball! |
 |
| Oh, stick a sock in it, kid! |
I often get the stank eye from some mom after I whack her little darling in the head with the ball on my back swing.
Sorry, lady! He should know to stay the hell out of my way; I'm trying to hit that little 100,000 point hole and get a high score. Good Lord, I NEED those extra tickets because there is a sparkly rubber ball I've had my eye on over there in the prize area, and I only need 8000 more tickets! Anyway, this is the reason why I have always liked going to Dave & Buster's - NO KIDS ALLOWED IN THE GAMING AREA!

But the last time I went to Dave & Buster's, there were kids everywhere! Who made this insane decision? No one consulted me, dammit! Now I can't even say "shit" when I lose my last little dude on Pac-Man without worrying about some pipsqueak overhearing me. And I certainly don't want to get that stank eye from momma again. {*shiver*}
I love spending time with my kid, but sometimes it's nice to go to a grown-up place where you can eat, drink, and have fun. This place used to be Dave & Buster's, but now it's pretty much a sucky playground area. Please, for the love of God, stop the insanity!
