So, I take Riley to a birthday party today at Playland Skate Center. I hadn't been to a skating rink in years, and I'd forgotten about the one cardinal rule of skate rinks: NO GUM ALLOWED. NONE.

So Playland has this jar at the door. Wow. 

I wonder how many years of gum are in that jar. Does someone empty it? What kind of a biohazard has been incubating in this thing? *Shudder*
