In summary, the PF server is located under the speaker's bed for safety reasons and is currently located in Dallas. The speaker also mentions their bedroom's security measures, including electrified fences and alligator-infested moats, to emphasize the safety of the server's location. They also mention their habit of eating Cheetos in bed with their pets, explaining the bare windows in their bedroom. Finally, they joke about the temptation to go to the store for snacks and suggest calling the PF server instead.

Under my bed. :smile: Greg figured that was the safest place for it since everyone knows no one ever visits me. Why?

Electrified security fence, heat seeking laser beams, hidden pits filled with pointed stakes,
alligator infested moats, 24 yale locks, bared windows and a door bell that goes through de la lune.

Considering it's my bedroom, bare windows are about as frightening as it gets. You've never seen me in bed with my green facial mask, hair uncombed, munching cheetos with a cat and dog lying on me.

Cats and dogs sleeping together? That is madness!

That's why the server is safe. You remember all of the problems we had before Greg put it under my bed? The animals eat Cheetos too, three oranged mouthed creatures staring at you through a bare (or bared) window...

I don't know but he should be around soon. When you see him just tell him what you want and he'll get it for you.
