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.

Story goes that it was only up for an incredibly brief window (heh) and that tools were disallowed for all of the pre-screened participants of the competition. Supposedly, even with all of these measures in place, something still went wrong with the glass, causing the competition to run short.

URL check saves me once again. I can't believe how many people just raw dog links.

I like to think of myself as a teacher first, prankster second

Why even participate in online discussion

Takes just about as long to type a query into Google as it does to type "source please" and wait there with your hand out

Not the glass, the metal frame was being slowly destroyed though.
