For a good time:
1 part massive concrete saw cutting through the floor immediately next to the server room
2 parts crashing database server
1 part unreachable executives
1 part pissed-off investors
Really, it’s great.
Haven’t slept in 27 hours at this point, and believe me, I wish that number were much, much smaller than it is.
Garcon! Coffee!

It strikes me that this is a good time and place to recall the origin of the name “tallape.” If you dial it you get our home. In the mid-80s, Dad’s students in his graduate research methods class (lots of scary math, etc.) had T-shirts printed with a crazy mathematical graph on it and “Call a Tall Ape” printed underneath. Given how you’ve spent the last two days, it seems that that is a pretty good tag for you, too!

I had totally forgotten that your home number spelled “tall ape!!!”
