Holy crap.

[Will Bozarth]

So, 9 days or so ago, we had this huge storm. Lightning struck my house and the following was destroyed:

1. My network card
2. My dad's network card
3. My mom's network card
4. My router
5. My modem
6. 1 TV
7. 2 Comcast Digital Cable boxes
8. My PA system (no more vocals at practice )
9. My PS2

Anything else, I'm not sure of. So yeah.. I'm back, but not sure for how long! Having internet problems still.

Hey Will, hope you get all that sorted out real soon.

Boards missing you buddy!

[Captain Beard]

You should get an expensive surge protector. If that stuff wasn't on one, shame on you. If it was, then shake your fist mightily at them for failing you.

 

[Karmic]

uh, I thought it was your moms modem

[Kvlt Wench]

That's almost as crazy as the mouse in the Pepsi can.

 

[Chromatose]

I've been told by IT guys that even expensive surge protectors can't stop the power surge from a dead on lightning strike. fact?

 

[Will Bozarth]

yes

 

[Captain Beard]

Then use a generator. Or a lightning rod. No excuses!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

That sucks dude

 

[derek]

Hire Mexicans to run around with foil hats on outside the house, for the extent of said thunderstorm.

 

[Captain Beard]

That just might work.

 

[Super Mahrio]

how insanely bogus Willyham!

 

[derek]

That just might work.

I feel it may!

 

[Lunar Still]

We've got a huge storm going outside right now. Ominous!
