I went to a Chuck E. Cheese way before 1995. My cousin accidentally pulled his tail off.
Then it must've been in the 1980's, because they got rid of Chuck's tail probably around 1990, I think.

BTW, Do you remember the show they were playing, and who the guest star was (You have a Chuck E., Munch, the purple monster
Jasper, the banjo-playing dog, Pasqually, the chef, and the remaining character was a guest star who was frequently swapped out by other guest stars in the 80's.).

In the same vein, did you know that there are some fish (e.g. clownfish) that can change gender?

Saw some kid tying the animatronic Chuckie's shoelaces together once. :insatiable:

Of course, I also witnessed the mascot beat down too on another occassion.

The Niccolls college (not sure if I spelled that right-it's somewhere in Louisiana.) "Colonel" mascot wears red because they thought that the original grey looked too Confederate.

It's nice to see they were paying attention in the Civil War unit in history class, but it seems they weren't during the American Revolution unit. (Either that or they figured, "Sure, he can be a British redcoat, as long as he's not part of the Confederacy.")
