Friday Funny: Raised Floor Adventures
It’s Friday and time for a few laughs. Towards that end, we run our caption contest on Fridays, with cartoons drawn by Diane Alber, our fav data center cartoonist! Please visit Diane’s website Kip and Gary for more of her data center humor.
First, we must announce the winner of the “Pot of Gold” cartoon: Congrats to Colton Brown of Dupont Fabros who submitted, “Don’t worry, Gary! He’s our new private equity investor!”
This week we present “Raised Floor Adventures.” Diane writes, “I’ve heard that people have found all sorts of weird things under the raised floor. . .” Enter your caption suggestion below.
The caption contest works like this: We provide the cartoon and you, our readers, submit the captions. We then choose finalists and the readers vote for their favorite funniest suggestion.
The winner will receive his or her caption in a signed print by Diane.
For the previous cartoons on DCK, see our Humor Channel.

Jason Woodrum
Posted March 22nd, 2013Wow! These dust bunnies are really multiplying.
Are you aware of the fact we both walked in here with our coffee?

Posted March 22nd, 2013“No way am I checking these bunnies for Zinc whiskers”

Posted March 22nd, 2013So these are the bunnies that place the Easter Eggs in our code.

Posted March 22nd, 2013I knew you said it was going to be ‘hairy’ under the floor, just not that ‘harey;!

Posted March 22nd, 2013Kip, a raised floor doesn’t mean you can raise bunnies
Unexpected side-effect of the new Multi system. This wasn’t apparent in testing!
When that consultant told us we had a rabbit warren under the raised floor, I thought it was a metaphor.

Posted March 23rd, 2013Dammit Kip, I asked for more redundancy, not reBUNdancy!
Brian
Posted March 23rd, 2013I told you hiring a pair of rabbits to clean under there was a bad idea.
Ryan Fogleman
Posted March 24th, 2013God I hope there an app for that !

Posted March 24th, 2013“I have never seen them multiply so fast. Must be something in the chilled water!”
Is this another one of your ‘hare’ brained ideas to increase profitability?
Looks like we’re heading down another rabbit hole.
Dan Lind
Posted March 25th, 2013Well, I guess it’s better than the ‘rat’s nest’ you told me to expect under there!

Posted March 26th, 2013Kip, you forgot to tie the pull cords to their tails.
Jeff Wombold
Posted March 27th, 2013Hmmm… computer bugs seems to be taking on a whole new meaning!
1) Should we replace that tile with a hare vent?
2) See, I told you if we poured boiling water down the hole we’d get hot cross bunnies

Posted April 3rd, 2013This may be why there are so many hops in the Network.

Posted April 25th, 2013I guess that rabbit consolidation project isn’t showing those TCO savings quite yet…

Posted April 26th, 2013I don’t think we’re getting those deduplication ratios we were promised at ALL.
