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.

If you’re still losing to blue shell in Mario kart after all this time please delete the game and stop wasting your time

Nah therapy is bad. Instead, start drinking and buy a gun. It makes life a lot more fun.
