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.

You forgot the FBI agents.

We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.

"Wow, how cool is it that she's 13 and already works for the FBI! "

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Man, I don't know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90's...

and now I'm turning to dust. haha

Thanks for being social!!!
