- Outback for the birthday girl! -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:35 1
  - if they know what's best for themselves they'll serve her the good cut of meat. Not the crap some of them are selling now. -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 11:36
- Sizzler 'new' hand cut steaks are a return to the quality they used to have 20 years ago, but yeah outback is good -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 11:34
- Outback is fine. -- nm - budice Aug 11, 11:31 1
  - I like both them and Doug's. I just get irritated at the lack of choice. We used to have great restaurants here in the village...... - Meg Aug 11, 11:53

To the degree to which you consider yourself a judge of such things, how would you lettergrade Katy Perry's singing voice? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 11, 11:12 19
- W for Whatever I Say Will Sound Catty. - Diva Aug 11, 11:25 4
  - Off the top of my head I would say Kelly Clarkson also has limited range but sounds better. Would that be picking the right range then? -- nm - Max Aug 11, 11:31 1
    - I think she's has a very wide range - especially for a Pop singer. And yes, she works well within it and seems to have a lot more control of her - Diva Aug 11, 11:37
  - Rowr. -- nm - Neil Flynn voice Aug 11, 11:28
  - You and your educated opinion! -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:27

- B- live, B+ in studio. - Max Aug 11, 11:19
- B+. She's a real singer rather than an autotune fraud. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:19 2

  - Yep - this sounds about right. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 11:27
- C - generic pop star with no outstanding songs -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 11:18 5
  - Hot n Cold is great -- nm - mud Aug 11, 11:20 3
    - its basic. its top 40, no one is still playing the CDs or songs. She's a throw away. - Epiphany Aug 11, 11:24 2
      - She's been around for 8 years already. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 11, 11:27 1
        
        I'm not saying she's bad, I'm saying she's average -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 11:30
  - I disagree. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:20

sweet, wife has a 5% off coupon from Dell through her work. Come to papa Alienware -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:02 23
- *5*%? - Spawn Aug 11, 11:25
- Hook on!! -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:05 21
  - what's the deal with e-bates? -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:10 20
    - They payout quarterly also, unless that's changed. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:15
    - I was just about to post this. 10% right now -- nm - Guigue Aug 11, 11:11 18
      - I saw one, but it excluded Alienware specifically at Dell... -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:12 17
        
        Mmm I don't see a mention of that on ebates.ca. Could be hidden somewhere I can't see it though -- (link) - Guigue Aug 11, 11:17 15
        
        that IS better than 5% :) I'll try it first to see -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:19 12
        
        The annoying thing with cashback is you don't really know if it works until a couple days later when the money appears in your ebates account - Guigue Aug 11, 11:21 11
        
        oh, I know absolutely none of this, so much appreciated :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:23 10
        
        This might sound dumb, but make 100% sure you are logged in to your ebates account prior to clicking thru to Dell. - Shaun Aug 11, 11:25 9
        
        I'll do that AND try the wife's coupon code. maybe get both! -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:26 8
        
        I'd advise against that as well. Combining a coupon with ebates can potentially void the ebates transaction. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:28 7
        
        Yeah it probably will. As long as you at least connect through ebates before making the transaction it should be fine though. Once my ebate rebate - Guigue Aug 11, 11:31 5
        
        To make sure you are connected, click on Account on ebates.ca, and you should see "Dell" in Shopping Trips. If you buy something after that, they - Guigue Aug 11, 11:33 1
        
        cool, thanks guys -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:34
        
        I got burned on the promo stacking once. Thankfully the difference in the applied coupon compared to the ebates difference was only a few dollars. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:33 2
        
        Ah damn, I just saw they have a referral program, we should have fought to refer him! ;) -- nm - Guigue Aug 11, 11:34 1
        
        (my BIL is going to :) ; otherwise I will let you know) -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:35
        
        see, learning for Beak -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 11:30
        
        I also did not see any stipulation on the 10.0%. Maybe he's referring to a coupon. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:19 1
        
        Yeah maybe, I found a coupon for $75 off, but that one excluded Alienware -- nm - Guigue Aug 11, 11:20
        
        See if Great Canadian Rebates allows Alienware. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:16
You'd almost think the liberal news media wanted Trump to win the primary so they could showcase his insanity during these months so he loses -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 10:58 19
- Jon Stewart retired one year too early. -- nm - budice Aug 11, 11:04 3
  - If Trump wins, I would say at least 5 years too early. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 11:33

      - If they were trying to help wouldn't they have tried to hide the crazy during the primaries? -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 11:08
    - The Republican primary voters (or enough of them at least) were and are buying what he's selling. That hasn't changed. -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 11:04 2
      - Right. Media: "Here's all the crazy shit Trump said." GOP Base: "Sounds good to us!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:05 1
        
        Rerun all of the Republican primaries on Tuesday and my guess is that Trump would win again. -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 11:07
