Perhaps the they’re trading the centipedes opera performances for the vegetables the centipedes were supposed to be growing in the corridor vacated by the robots? And while the centipedes can manage garlic, basil and tomatoes, growing a wheat field in an underground corridor is a bit beyond their capabilities?
The fire would have been more of a threat than the CO2 bomb Bubbles used to extinguish it. And both were contained to the rubber plant, so they were not a threat to the basement species anyway.
BTW the filename story at http://www.ci-n.com/~jcampbel/skinhorse.txt
stopped getting updated some months ago.
I copied what was there & have it up to date on a file on my own computer.
Is there some essentially free way for me to make this available to others, or is there already an up to date version somewhere on the web?
I have an up to date version on DropBox (https://www.dropbox.com/s/s9e62nuzq4gkooz/Skin%20Horse%20filename%20story.txt?dl=0), but if you’re interested in also making yours available, you can do the same thing using something like OneDrive or DropBox. If you keep your files synced with your computer, then whenever you update the story on your computer, the file others have access to gets updated automatically.
Just be sure that you share just the one file (not the whole folder), and give other users view rights only, so they can’t modify or delete it on you. I also keep a backup copy in another location just in case that one does somehow get deleted.

I guess there isn’t much point in me putting one more copy of the story on the web when there are already at least two.
On the plus side, Tip is no longer depressed! ^_^
Why not experience the full range of negative emotions life has to offer?
If they could get their… um, hands?… on a nice marinara, could they not have gotten some pasta to go with it?
Probably made the marinara out of more files
“Tarsi”, the internet says.
But they’re silverfish, which are known for eatting paper.

I would have expected that reaction from Sweetheart, but from Tip?
Go back and read the early story arc where he first had to deal with the basement dwellers. Tip is VERY invested in those particular files.
The silverfish may want to explain very quickly how it was their creator who told them to eat the files.
Who’s that? Shaenon or Jeff?
Chris, from the Department of Irradiation.

Tip is a bureaucrat. Remember he is the only one who read the handbook of regs.
Come now, Tip: did you really expect they _wouldn’t_?
I’m pleasantly surprised that the basement dwellers are still around, after Bubbles gas bombed Annex One.
The fire would have been more of a threat than the CO2 bomb Bubbles used to extinguish it. And both were contained to the rubber plant, so they were not a threat to the basement species anyway.
Wait a second, I thought they had been destroyed in the fire in the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day
Finally, a server not-malfunction.

There’s a Google Docs version here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pMzpYzdJnsJsSzgAqSWjD1ATnLtHqFvsmjyoRo_YbIE/edit) that I read. I’m sure it belongs to someone, but I don’t know who.

Come to think of it, where did they get the ingredients for marinara sauce?
My guess is that they find a recipe online, download it, print it out, and then eat the printout.
This is what happens when you bow down to lesser gods.
