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.

My dad taught welding and machining. He gave me a bunch of glass for welding helmets, so I could bring them to school and see the eclipse with my classmates.

At my business for the eclipse a few months ago I bought a bunch of catered barbecue and set up a tent and chairs and gave the employees a couple of hours to watch it.

We had a bunch of the cheap glasses but the experience was far better looking though welding glass we'd taken out of the helmets.
