- Is that a sale or are these books usually $1.99? -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 11:04 2
  - Sales price (I paid 5 bucks for the first Maze Runner book last year) -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:06 1
    - Cool. Thanks. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 11:07
- Are the Mazerunner books any good? -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:00 2
  - The first book is worth the 1.99 but haven't read the others. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 11:01 1
    - yep -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:02
- (and by huge, he means around 30 books) -- nm - decline Aug 27, 10:55 1
  - More of HUGE because of the books involved. It's not 500 crappy books and 1 decent one. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 10:58

so you guys want the latest on the stranded SkyGreece-people? They been in the Sofitel all week being told that there will be "a flight" - Andie Aug 27, 10:48 26
- From SkyGreece's current Wikipedia page: - Roger More Aug 27, 11:03 1
  - heh -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 11:04
- Sounds like you actually dodged a bullet. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 10:55 3
  - [deleted]
  - truly. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 10:57 1
    - (hey! I *AM* still lucky! and if they bank in Canada, Visa can get my money!) -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 11:00
- So here's what I don't understand? Why don't these people just get on another airline? I'm not familiar with the situation - oblique Aug 27, 10:55 12
  - Some of them would have spent their travel budget on getting there, and mightn't have the funds available to buy another ticket. -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 11:00
  - no, but they keep being told that there will be a plane. New tickets are going for well over a $1000 each to get people back to NY or Toronto. - Andie Aug 27, 10:57 1
    - [deleted]
  - Cause Athens-Toronto flights ain't cheap at the last minute, and they've already paid for their ticket. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 10:56
  - one-way tickets on other airlines are going for around 1000 bucks I believe -- nm - decline Aug 27, 10:56
  - None available for days and they've been bid up over $1,000. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 10:56 6
    - I suppose it starts getting really pricey, but I guess I've watched too many planes trains and automobiles viewings - oblique Aug 27, 11:00 3
      - There are reasons I do not like to leave the continent. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:04

        They could get a boat to naples or istanbul, maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:05
    - close to 4 grand today. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 10:57 1
      - i kayaked - it's cheaper to book return and just have the return portion be in, like February, I found Athens-Toronto, with two stops, on Saturday - Andie Aug 27, 10:58
- Holy crap - I've stayed at that Sofitel (there's no other hotel near the airport and I had a 5am flight) It's not cheap. -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 10:51
- I think you should still take the chance! -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 10:51

According to the Quinnipiac poll, only Rubio can give Clinton/Biden/Sanders a run for their money. - Mop Aug 27, 10:11 9
