Has it really been 25 years?

We took the munchkin to Chuck E. Cheese's yesterday for the first time and I realized I hadn't been there since about the time I first started playing drums, about 25 years now.
While I like to think that my playing has aged gracefully, I'm sad to say that the mouse has not. What happened Chuck E.? Your place used to drip to 'cool'.. now it just drips toddler pee (literally).

Also, a sonnet to the redneck that cut in front of a line full of kids just so he could buy a beer...

"..oh dearest redneck that cut in front of a line full of kids just so you could buy a beer....
You suck."

Drumbot!

Throw a bunch of actuators on an acoustic kit and now you don't even need a live drummer to play em... neat.

Would sure be a lot of fun to set one of these kits up on stage and then use a zendrum to slave it. Sort of a remote controlled drumset. shweet.
