      Now I’m no American, but something smells FBIish about that address.

        There’s a quote that came from ICQ’s heyday that I had in mind when I wrote that:

        “The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.”

          We need to revise that for Lemmy.

          “Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we’ve got a few women who were born women, and also there’s a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that’s all cool with most of us.”

          It’s a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.

              We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.

            What was this from? I know the reference but can’t place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I’m trying to be social here.

              Thanks for being social!!!
