This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is 15 years old. It's not about "working", or making a pun.

It's about getting someone momentarily interested in a story, even vaguely invested, or just getting an engaging pace going before suddenly and violently transistioning into a recognizable non-sequiteur.

Extra points for getting a cheesy song stuck in people's heads.
