bilbo, meaning a sword made in Bilbao,
Bilbo Baggins is the hero of The Hobbit, which every true lemmy user has tattooed on their left thigh.
I have it tattooed on my middle thigh.
That’s your nose!
TIL I’m not a true Lemmy user.
You shall not pass!
That’s what most of their teachers said, I bet.
$50.00 and I’ll keep it quiet.
