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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

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

I'm not certain, but I suspect that I'm older than you.

You could be, but the joke was to lash out in the sort of passive aggressive, out of touch obstinance that you can find in many older Christians in the US. I, as the (relatively) anonymous face, accept the responsibility and derision of playing the jester. You, as the audience, accept the responsibility of recognizing the group being emulated, and laughing at the fool.

It’s a form of punching down, sure, but I don’t respect socially bubbled bigots enough to care about their feelings, regardless of their age
