...Super Mario 2 and Mortal Kombat II. It takes a minute to find the right TV/video setting, but eventually it all works. I play a few rounds of Mortal Kombat against the computer, lose, and turn it off. I decide to go down to the kitchen and get a bowl of cereal.No one wakes up as I go down the two half-floors and three full floors beneath that to the kitchen. There are bodies dotting the carpets and armchairs in greater numbers as I get closer to the living room where I guess the main party had been, even...

"We've already paid for the Super Bowl promotion, and then some," Marchioli said on April 8, the day of the two-for-one offer. "And today is a profit-making exercise. For giving it away, do I make less margin? Yes. But I drive new traffic. And in this economy, particularly for Denny's, it's important...
...have its own Super Bowl - a good thing, that - but it never lacks for head-to-head competitions. Picasso and Matisse played show-me-what-you-got for decades, continually rolling out works meant to show up the other guy. Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael all kept a cool eye on each other.
