7-Year-Old Gets Stuck In Stuffed Animal Game Machine



:eek:

I've heard of people getting their arms stuck in these things, but this is ridiculous.

Good luck using the crane to win the boy... can't even use it to pick up a 4 ounce toy let alone a 40 lb. kid.

As we speak, Michael Jackson rushes to the scene to investigate.

Investigate what?? This is one of those weird ass things he has at his house.

I think this is a crime scene photo.

7-Year-Old Gets Stuck In Stuffed Animal Game Machine
Boy Not Injured


SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A 7-year-old boy had to be rescued with the help of a locksmith Sunday after crawling into a Sheboygan supermarket's stuffed animal game machine while his father talked on the telephone.

Shift Cmdr. Mark Zittel of the Sheboygan Fire Department said the boy was sitting in the glass enclosure with the stuffed animals when rescuers arrived.

He said the boy, whose name was not released by authorities, somehow crawled through about an 8-by-11-inch opening to get into the machine. The stuffed animals are prizes that can be hooked with a cranelike device.

"He was just relaxed. He wasn't upset. He wasn't crying. It didn't seem like he was upset at all," said Murray Patz, who took pictures of the incident.

Zittel said the boy's father was 3 feet away at a pay phone, and when he turned around the child was in the machine.

He said the boy stayed calm and didn't panic as firefighters responded to the Piggly Wiggly store, moved the machine to the back of the store and got a locksmith to open the main loading door. The process took about an hour.

The boy was not injured, but rescuers haven't figured out how the boy was able to crawl into the game or why no one in the store's busy lobby spotted him and stopped him before he got inside.

Firefighters said the boy and father left Piggly Wiggly without telling them how the boy got trapped in the toy machine.

"We'd like to see how he got through this opening that is basically the size of a paper -- 8 by 11," Zittel said.

Piggly Wiggly has removed the toy machine.



The fact that this happened at a Piggly Wiggly makes me all warm and fuzzy inside...

SHEBOYGAN, Isnt that where Larry Appleton is from?
I sense a wild and wacky Balki caper going on here.

The fact that you quoted the entire article just to mention this makes me feel something but it isn't warm and fuzzy.

It was also the city that the creature ate in the classic board game "The Creature That Ate Sheboygan." Darn that game was a blast.

EagleFan 01-05-2004 11:56 PM

So that's what they do in Wisconsin for entertainment these days... ;)

Yes, but that creature was very very lazy. I understand that he had his meal Decatured rather than preparing it himself.

I remember when i was younger my best friend and I would sit around throwing around stupid pun after stupid pun and laughing at how retarded we both were, sometimes we would just shake our heads at how downright stupid each of us were. That thing you just did brought back some really fond memories of my teenage years, then I got depressed because im old and those days are gone, now I wanna beat you about the head with a shoe for making me cry.

I'm sorry "my real name" but I think maybe you were just one of the girls to her after all. :D

Suicane75 01-06-2004 12:39 AM

Well, she did have an affinity for certain things that made us all wonder if one of the girls isn't exactly what she wanted.

Axxon 01-06-2004 12:52 AM

Found the following "review" about TCTAS on a site that seems aptly named as boardgamegeek.com. Found it funny in context but it comes into it's own out of context.

Definitely shows its age in some of the the mechanics, but still, this is a game that will inspire stories that you remember for ever. I still remember a fire-breathing giant rabbit I designed back in 1978. I started on the water end of the board and moved really slowly, so that my opponent brought in a fireboat and concentrated all his firemen where I started. Then I put on a burst of speed to the other side of the map and burned down half the city. Ah, what a game.


UIC at it's very finest.

Axxon 01-06-2004 12:54 AM

Dola,
can
and folks think that the colossal squid was cool.

One simply must respect and beware the fire breathing giant rabbit. :D

Suicane75 01-06-2004 12:54 AM

ya know, I actually did a google search to find out if such a game existed or if you were just ynaking my crank.

Axxon 01-06-2004 12:58 AM

Nope, no crank yanking just a word up to the first giant monster game reported in captivity and yes I played it.

To think that you feel old, I feel virtually ancient about now.

Suicane75 01-06-2004 01:02 AM

Dude, it's not how old anyone is that seperates us,
it's how young we once were that joins us.

Axxon 01-06-2004 01:02 AM

If you'll gather around I'll even speak of the great Dawn of the Dead boardgame that came out about the same time. It was also by SPI and it was great because Dawn has always been one of my favorite movies and taking Flyboy and the gang tooling around the mall, killing zombies and locking all the doors was a blast to play too.

Those were the days my friends...

Now that sounds interesting, I've never seen the original but I did see the trailer for the remake starring Ving Rhames a few weeks ago and it looks pretty damn good.

Suicane75 01-06-2004 01:12 AM

Ya know, when i was little, my Mom bought me a pong and told me it was an Atari, she fooled me into thinking I had an Atari for 2 YEARS before I realized the difference. No correlation, i just figured that since we were talking about childhoods and all.

As I understand it, Romero has some role to play with the new movie so I expect it will kick ass but I doubt it'll top the original.

I'll check it out. I am really more into end of the world as we know it type flicks than zombie flicks per se but the Romero flicks combine both so damned well that they are amongst my favorites in either genre.

One of my favorite lines from Dawn of the Dead and it still gives me the chills.

Ok, ive hit the wall, and it has hit back, which is disconcerting. goodnight and fare thee well.

Goodnight and farewell,

it's been fun conversing and sharing a virtual beer with you so to speak.

After this marvelous threadjack, I just wanted to mention that the kid never did get the toy he wanted.
