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.

There’s a whole idiom about how falling off horses is a frustrating but ultimately minor inconvenience.

There's also a whole list of people who have died falling off of horses. So there's that.
