  - seriously, wtf? - znufrii Jun 30, 14:04 5
    - just wondering why a vehement anti-religion guy is blaming it on the guy upstairs. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 14:05 1
      - It's a common idiomatic expression, not an endorsement of that worldview! :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 14:07
    - I think it's funny what you choose to be outraged about. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 14:05 2
      - couldn't think how to express it, but I agree. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 14:06 1

        Umpires aren't supposed to be blind. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 13:58 12
        
        Doesn't this actually *increase* the need for there to be braille? - con_carne Jun 30, 14:03 1
        
        Don't you get it? They shouldn't be trying to read the sign in the first place. Effin nosy blind people! -- nm - mara Jun 30, 14:05
        
        RIght, because if a blind person has no business reading a sign, it doesn't need to be translater. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 14:02
        
        *shrugs* Isn't braile there to tell them where there aren't supposed to be too? - Inigo Jun 30, 14:00 8

        ugh. - groiny Jun 30, 14:01 1
        
        If the joke is umpires are blind, it's kinda funny. -- nm - Inigo Jun 30, 14:06
        
        it's probably there by law. but it's funny. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 14:01

        Really, no problem. - pmb Jun 30, 14:16
    - I tried to play last night, but lag was preventing us from righteously destroying some racists. -- nm - David Jun 30, 14:02 4
      - at least they were tame racists, and not n-word racists -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 14:08 3
        
        That was just our teammate, who went out of his way to claim his n-bombs were not indicative of racism. -- nm - David Jun 30, 14:09 2
        
        killing racists is the highest calling acheivable on XBox live -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 14:10

    - heh, funny. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 30, 14:12
  - you know what everyone misses? killing Will Hunting in Halo - crash davis Jun 30, 13:57 9
    - I realized that when you started killing me often, there really wasn't any reason to play the game anymore. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 13:58 8
      - synonym for a kitty -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 13:59 4
        
        Alternatively: Hunan beef? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 14:08 2
        
        that is all sorts of wrong -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 14:10 1
        
        Yeah, it's probably moo goo gai pan or something instead. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 14:11
        
        Adorable? - Will Hunting Jun 30, 14:00
      - Liar. You ate the disc, didn't you? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 13:58 2
        
        Will is awesome he is the only one of us that can have the most kills and also have the most deaths - eag Jun 30, 14:02 1

      - is it possible to ship it? it's really good. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 14:04 1
        
        I'm never sure about interstate alcohol, but I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 14:07
    - She is obviously rebelling against the name her parents gave her -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 14:01 3
      - which was ... Jessica. :) - loosilu Jun 30, 14:03 2
        
        then she clearly regrets her decision and is filled with self-loathing :) - Roger More Jun 30, 14:07 1

- at almost the same price, i'd do theflash drive. later on there may be other stuff you need, so why pay 2 times to access it? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 30, 13:49
- buy an external usb enclosure for about $20 and grab the data off it that way -- nm - decline Jun 30, 13:49 2
  - ... just make sure you get one that doesn't require formatting the drive (for obvious reasons). - Beryllium Jun 30, 13:50 1

- I've lost my debit card before and been able to get a temporary one from a physical branch until the new one arrived in the mail. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 13:47 1
  - I'd have a hard time with that; one of my banks can't even verify that I'm a customer. - Beryllium Jun 30, 13:48
- You sure you can't go to your bank and get a temporary one for the meantime? -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 13:47
