A maternal insult (also referred to as a yo momma joke) is a reference to a person's mother through the use of phrases such as "your mother" or other regional variants, frequently used to insult the target by way of their mother.[1] Used as an insult, "your mother..." preys on widespread sentiments of filial piety, making the insult particularly and globally offensive. "Your mother" can be combined with most types of insults, although suggestions of promiscuity are particularly common.[2] Insults based on obesity, incest, age, race, poverty, poor hygiene, unattractiveness, or stupidity may also be used. Compared to other types of insults, "your mother" insults are especially likely to incite violence.[3] Slang variants such as "yo mama", "yo momma", "yer ma", "ya mum", "your mum" or "your mom" are sometimes used, depending on the local dialect. Insults involving "your mother" are commonly used when playing the dozens.
Although the phrase has a long history of including a description portion (such as the old, mostly harmless insult "your mother wears combat boots"), the phrase "yo mama" by itself, without any qualifiers, has become commonly used as an all-purpose insult[1] or an expression of defiance. The insult may fall flat if it is true and should be used with caution.

Showbiz Pizza Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (August 2007)
ShowBiz Pizza Place was a restaurant chain popular in the 1980s. Its history is greatly intertwined with that of its main competitor and eventual successor, Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre. Both companies found early success, owing partially to the rise in popularity of arcade games at the time. The basic concept was to offer pizza, a large selection of arcade games, and an animatronic stage show as a complete package of food and entertainment. The largest difference between the two, and easiest way to distinguish the two chains, was the different robotics and the mascots that each concept used. The mascot for Showbiz was Billy Bob, an overall-clad hillbilly bear.
[edit]History

The business was founded in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1980[1] by Robert L. Brock, owner of Brock Hotel Corporation. At the time, Brock was quite successful as one of the largest franchisers in the Holiday Inn hotel system. Eighty percent of ShowBiz Pizza was owned by Brock Hotel Corporation. The other 20 percent was owned by Creative Engineering, Inc. who was responsible for producing the animatronics show ShowBiz used: The Rock-afire Explosion[2]. In 1982, the company moved its headquarters to Irving, Texas. In 1984, ShowBiz Pizza purchased the assets of Chuck E. Cheese's (C.E.C) after it declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They then proceeded to change the name of the company to ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc.; [3] however both restaurants continued operating as separate entities.
The continued financial decline of ShowBiz Pizza Time began to turn around as result of the efforts by Richard M. Frank, who became chairman and CEO in 1986. Based on customer research, Frank instituted a number of changes to appeal to younger children and parents. Specific measures included increased lighting, expanded and improved food, table service, self-serve fountain drinks, increased rides, and distinct toddler areas.[4] After a few more years, ShowBiz Pizza Time became publicly traded, severed ties with Creative Engineering, and ultimately restructured the restaurants under "Concept Unification" in 1990.[5] This effort consisted of renovating all ShowBiz animation into Chuck E. Cheese characters and renaming all stores to Chuck E. Cheese's. This would mark the end of the concept known as "ShowBiz Pizza." Although the company is still in business, as the current management of the "Chuck E. Cheese's" concept is a direct line from the "Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc." era, with little connection to the original "Pizza Time Theatre" ownership. In 1998, ShowBiz Pizza Place was disestablished, changed its name to CEC Entertainment, Inc., and moved its stock from from NASDAQ to NYSE.[6]
The majority of former Showbiz Pizza Place locations were converted into Chuck E. Cheese's. At the current time, there are around 83 converted "Rock-afire Explosion" shows still in use as "3-Stage" Chuck E. Cheese shows. Some stores were also closed at this time, while other former ShowBiz locations converted to independent concepts, Pistol Pete's Pizza in the Southwest (mostly in former Pizza Time Theatre stores), and Billy Bob's Wonderland in Barboursville, West Virginia, where the classic Rock-afire Explosion Band is still active. There are less than a handful of these stores still operational.
Another popular arcade and pizza place, Circus Pizza, had several locations around the Twin Cities in Minnesota from the early '80s through the late '90s, but it was always independent and the rival of Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E Cheese in Minnesota. Their stores were located in Maplewood, Roseville, and Brooklyn Park initially, then they acquired the ShowBiz in West St. Paul and the Chuck E. Cheese's in Burnsville, Blaine, and New Hope in 1987. When Showbiz Pizza closed its rival Twin Cities stores in '87, each Circus Pizza location acquired a Rock-afire Explosion show for their dining room areas except Roseville (which was renamed Picadilly Circus to differentiate it from the full-sized Circus Pizzas). They opened an Eau Claire, Wisconsin Circus by taking over another defunct Chuck E. Cheese in 1990, then Circus opened a brand new Edina store in 1994 which was the only location to feature the New Rock-afire show. After finally getting bought out in the late '90s, three of the old Circus Pizza locations were taken over by Chuck E. Cheese. However, the Rock-afire Explosion bands were removed. Those former Circus Pizza locations that are still in use by Chuck E Cheese are Blaine, Edina, and West St. Paul. Chuck E. shuttered all the other Circus stores rather than converting them all.
There are a few restaurants still using the Showbiz Pizza Place name and animation. All are located outside the United States, and have no connection to the original company. Known locations are in Lebanon, Dubai, and United Arab Emirates. One also operated in Salmiya, Kuwait, but was firebombed during the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait.[7] There has been one return of the brand in the United States, where it was called Showbiz Pizza Zone. It is now closed.

There is a twisted part of me that wants to go to D&B and get completely hammered while playing video games. Then I remember that I can buy some decent vodka and play much better video games at home.
