I think there's something in the cheese...

Police were called to break up a weekend fight among a rowdy group of teenage girls at the family-themed pizza restaurant, Chuck E. Cheese.

The more than a dozen girls, between 13 and 16 years old, went berserk in the restaurant's lobby Saturday night, police said.

Witnesses said the fight erupted with two girls using profanities near the front entrance and ended with several girls involved in a physical fight.

The group had apparently been dropped off and left alone at the restaurant, known for its singing and dancing animatronic rodents.

Assistant Police Chief Alfred Sexton said the incident wasn't the first time Chuck E. Cheese was nearly overrun by unruly teens.

Chuck E. Cheese seems to bring out the beast in people. Maybe it's the creepy animatronic animals or the sticky carpets.

A quick story:

A friend of my brother once worked as the eponymous mouse as a summer job. She silently reprimanded a child for kicking a video-game machine, and the child began kicking her instead.

Okay, so my brother's friend probably shouldn't have kicked the kid back, but she did, albeit gently... the kid's mom then stepped up, raining punches upon the giant mouse like a thunderstorm of maternal vengeance... however, she punched "Chuck E" in the mouse-face, not in the human-face, which is of course below the giant costume head. The mouse, of course, fought back, but made sure not to hit too hard.

My brother's friend then retreated to the staffroom, where she announced her immediate resignation and changed into her street clothes. As she left the staffroom, the still-livid mom asked, "Is he [the mouse] in there?!"
The now-ex-employee answered, "Yes... he'll probably be out soon..."
