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.

Yes that's what I was hinting at

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

While it almost certainly made up. We would sometimes play black jack...

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For money? Would be awesome for whoever was the "house"
