Don't know if it still does it, but the BOFH stories site used to check the user-agent string and if you were using Internet Explorer it would display with a tiled background of black-and-white photos of a coffee cup. It was near-unreadable. But only if you were using IE...

I guess, the first time I read it was on Netscape, or maybe on a mainframe.

We're still on track for tomorrow morning 6am CST with downtime of 30-45min.

There will be no drink or chips, no pillow, delay is likely, and likely that we crash at some point

Peanuts? Maybe?

Epipen? AED? Dr Mike?

For a peanut allergy respiratory emergency, you need Epi (and Benadryl if possible). AED just makes them make funny faces...

A friend of my wife recently got stung in the mouth by some kind of hornet (it was on a sandwich she was eating). Her throat became somewhat constricted. She got checked out at an urgent care.
She got 2 doses of benadryl. She acted kind of drunk and needed help getting home, but she was fine the next day.

I think there might be an obscure reference hidden in there somewhere. Just in case, here's this:

Eating “lucky peanuts” before launches and other major mission events is a longstanding tradition at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).​

And a video explaining it:
