SEMME: We’re the competentest!
The whole “supposedly highly capable secret quasi-military organization who are really astonishingly incompetent” aspect is probably the most anime thing about IW! to be honest.
Your Perry avatar just SO fits with your comment…
I’d say they should get the flashy things from the Men In Black, but Joyce would become an addict.
knowing SEMME they probably have a website. Open to everyone. With all the abductees names listed.
What I wanna know is how, given what we learn later, SEMME managed to swing a .gov domain. Can you just…buy those?
No, you have to be an agency of the United States Government or a state or local government agency in the US.
Did people actually say “addy” back then?
They still say it now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the expression is as old as email itself.
Firefox can’t find the server at http://www.semme.gov.Checked ‘http://www.semme.gov’; it came up as “Firefox can’t find the server at http://www.semme.gov“. Willis must not have been able to buy that address and use it as a redirect like he later did with Jocelyne’s website (JocelynJBrown.com).
hey, SOME parts of the government can’t be bought
Smooth, Walkerton, smooth.
This seems entirely plausible to me. Of course, I expect my secret alien-fighting organisations to maintain their secrecy with large signs saying exactly who they are (but also KEEP OUT, for security) or black SUVs with the name stencilled on the side.
It makes slightly more sense given the implication that SEMME employees (who are drafted into service and their families told cover stories about their permanent unavailability) aren’t supposed to really do any socializing outside SEMME. However, it’s still quite hilarious.
Also, did Walky just pull out a SEMME business card, or is that just some handwritten note from his pocket?
Given the fact that if I remember correctly, their headquarters is in the middle of a city with the name of the organisation on the front of it in giant letters, I really wouldn’t be surprised if they give their agents business cards
Dorms, not headquarters. Their headquarters is in an isolated valley near Denver.
“Walkerton. David Walkerton. My card.
I like my Nachitos shaken, not stirred.”
…sorry, had to do it. I’ll go over here, now.
Pshaw, if the Aluminati Shadow Gooberment can plaster their logo on goddamn everything for absolutely no reason, whether it technically belongs to them or not, surely a mere secret task force can get away with a customized email server
