Not to mention those puke-green shorts.Ĭuriosity got the better of me. The playful Chuck you'd see on all the logos back in the day. The graveyard of a 90s arcade.Īnd amongst the clutter, I could even still see a tall Chuck E. Even through the darkness, I could still make out the old games and displays. The heavy chains wrapped around its front doors made that all too clear.īut there was still something so strange about this particular playland. Even if I knew there was no way I could ever explore this museum of memories. All the way up until 1999 when it closed. My parents used to take me there as a kid. Okay, so maybe the treasured kiddie attraction wasn't an elaborate haunted house, but I had fond memories of this place. Like a shunned stepchild, the large building was the lone defunct property in one of Columbus's nicer strip malls. I may have never seen anything too crazy, but the heightened beer buzz certainly fueled my adrenaline.īut the Mona Lisa of my Kyle Pleasance Project had to be an abandoned Chuck E. There was Crybaby Bridge and the riverwalk said to be haunted by the ghosts of Civil War soldiers. Particularly local legends and haunted locations. Call it urban exploration to be classy or ghost hunting to be crass, but I had an interest in the paranormal. I did find some ways to entertain myself. I guess I was too much of an old soul for 2013. In a world of no friends or girlfriends, I still had them. Beer and Turner Classic Movies my only companions.ĭeep down, I missed home. I spent all my nights in the tiny apartment. I guess the movies had educated me wrong about human interaction after all. Hell, so did the guys I was just trying to start a bromance with. Girls only seemed to get weirded the fuck out when I tried to approach them. Then again, maybe some fashion sense aside from constant cargo shorts and bland tees would've helped me attract women.īut at school, I was lost in the sea of way hotter dudes and jocks. Or fuck it, just somehow change my bony face to chiseled perfection. Or wore colored contacts for these brown eyes.
Maybe I could've done more with my unkempt and frustratingly-straight brown hair. Attractive without being hot, lanky without being tall.
Still Kyle Pleasance, ladies and gentlemen.Ģ013 wasn't shaping up to be any better than my previous three years of on-line classes.

No, I was still the shy movie geek from Cusseta High. A sprawling map of clubs, bars, and restaurants.īut I didn't make it out to these places very much. And unlike Cusseta, Columbus was a big city. Only now I was on my own in a campus apartment. My family was from Cusseta so I'd been to Columbus, Georgia numerous times over the years. I was twenty-one when I transferred to Columbus State University. These were supposed to be the best years of my life. Especially considering how lame high school was for a quiet geek like me. Cheese.College was supposed to be more fun. Today the second generation Crusty the Cat animatronic is housed in a private collection by Travis Schafer, alongside 2nd Gen Chuck E. He only appeared in the first PTT location. Crusty was also voiced in the main showtapes by an unknown voice actor (or possibly two). He was voiced by John Widelock, who also provided the voice for Chuck. Munch in 1978, making him the first character to be retired. His 2nd Gen incarnation holds a red baseball bat in his right hand.Īfter appearing in the first two showtapes, Crusty was replaced by Mr. He wears a baseball shirt donning the team "Swingers" and has the number 13 on his shirt. The 2nd Gen Crusty had no whiskers, was given more realistic cat-like eyes and had shorter ears, as well being a 3D figure with a turnable head and the ability to move both arms. The animatronic was also fixed to a 2D backdrop, similar to the original Chuck E. The first Crusty animatronic had whiskers, black eyebrows, and taller ears. He was nicknamed "The Cat's Meow" in singing and joke telling, and was Chuck E.'s right hand man. He debuted with the rest of the Pizza Time Players in May 1977, at the first Pizza Time Theatre location in San Jose, California.
