Is this that thing I am always hearing about where a lady suggests an idea and then a guy picks it up and suddenly itā€™s cool? Itā€™s okay as long as we can see whatā€™s inside that safe. And if we kick in funds for the big hack, we all get a portion of the stacks of money that are sure to be inside!!!

Iā€™m hoping the safe has the only copy of the US nuclear launch codes - itā€™s the one place they are certain to be safe from Trumpā€¦

What if the safe has another safe inside of it?

I hasten to point out that I hastened to point out that it was your fabulous idea in the first place. Butā€¦ yeah, that totally happened, if only because Jeff knows how to set up a GoFundMe thingie or whatever it was and I donā€™t.

In March it just seemed an idealistic lark. Only now, after all weā€™ve been through together, has it become a morale imperative to get that box open and release Pandoraā€™s Furies Robā€™s Hope into our hope-starved lives.

No pressure.

I awoke to a paypal notification of $20 received, along with the note ā€˜just open the fucking safe.ā€™

Since we are actually this ridiculous, I will film the locksmith opening it and everything.

(Donā€™t send me money. Let me find a cheaper one!)

EDIT: If you must, do this thing here that @codinghorror set up instead of actually wiring me money!

Yes, after the long drought of good news as we welcome our new dictator, we need a happy story.

The prior owner of the house dropped by last week and marveled at the fact we had gotten the safe out of the wall and wheeled it into a useful location. He says he ā€œthinksā€ itā€™s empty, but that it also has another chamber in it that was locked.

I donā€™t know if this is a thing with old safes (all I could find on google is people welding their mini gun safes into larger safes) ā€“ that seems almost too funny to be true. I also vaguely remember him saying heā€™d never personally seen in the safe when we were looking at the house last year.

I know what @othermichael is planning to do:

Heā€™d better start building that time machine so he can start sending these messages back to us.
