Send them a couple of rolls of paper towels and they’ll be fine

Ring of Fire!
Who’s next? Check your BoB ( Bug out Bag )

Just keep that yellow musk coiffed orange pile away from us and we’ll be fine.

Seriously, I’m really tired, and we have some damage to the house, but it looks like we’re ok for the most part.

Goddamned library is a fucking mess, though. And the home office. Fuck. But we’re ok.

At least the SGIs and the servers are fine. An Indigo 2 took a tumble from atop a filing cabinet onto concrete and it’s actually fine. Damn, Apple and SGI make some good kit.

Fake news. There’s no such place as “Alaska.” I can tell by the pixels.

(Seriously, hoping no injuries turn up.)

Your floor probably took the worse end of that exchange. (Those 1990s era Sun and SGI boxes can take a real licking - they are like the Nokia of workstations for tossability.)
