- I paid $46 total for two fillings a couple of weeks ago, but that's with dental insurance. -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 16:42

NPD numbers for September: PS3 gets its first monthly win. - Inigo Oct 19, 15:40 10
- is that console sales + game sales, just game sales, or just console sales? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:42 1
  - The top part is console sales. The bottom is individual game sales on one platform. -- nm - Inigo Oct 19, 15:43
- Third year's the charm. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 15:41 7
  - true, it took 3 years to get some really good console selling games. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:48 6
    - I don't think that has near the effect of the price changes - stewie Oct 19, 15:52 3
      - Agreed, it's the price drop. Next month will see if it'll hold. -- nm - Inigo Oct 19, 15:57
      - I agree. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 19, 15:54
      - maybe. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:53
    - also dropping the price to a sane one helped. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 15:49 1
      - The original price WAS insane... insanely LOW!!! -- nm - Ken Kutaragi Oct 19, 15:52
So whats with this Ike thing that people are moving one single troop into my towns? -- nm - eag Oct 19, 15:38 6

        I worked there in high school and that would happen fairly regularly. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 19, 16:24 1
        
        some vegetarian friends said when they ordered a cheese only sandwich they would have to call a manager who would toss a meat patty in the trash, why? - zeitgeist Oct 19, 16:43
        
        actually, they have that in their system already - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:46 2

    - pizza hut used to have cheese-free "harvest" pizza. I wonder if they still do? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:39
- meh -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 15:35
- There are other takeout pizza chains? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:35 7
  - (oh, wait, I think I missed something ... am I still to assume that papa murphys does not cook the pizza?) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:35 6
    - correct. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:46 5
      - I honestly don't understand that concept. But I also don't understand how they could fuck up your no-cheese request - TWICE! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:51 4
        
        I would like other pizza place to offer this - maybe you don't live close enough for a delivery? you can get the same - Epiphany Oct 19, 15:55 3
        
        I still don't really understand it ... or, to simplify it: I am surprised that it is such a large market. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 16:05 2
        
        well so far there is only one place doing it -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 16:10 1
        
        Which goes back to my original comment about "there are OTHER takeaway places?" :) But still, I'm surprised murphy's even found a market -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 16:11
Who said last week that Brady needed to have an epic game this weekend in order to redeem himself? -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Oct 19, 15:31 4
- he had an epic game against the worst team in the nfl right now, that makes it more like a mediocre game really. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:34 2
  - Which is why Brees' game is much more impressive to me than Brady's. -- nm - Stephen Oct 19, 15:37 1
    - ayup. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 15:37
- I believe I did. And he did. That game was a statement. Granted Ten sucks but still... -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 15:33
