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.

Webster's dictionary defines wedding as "the fusing of two metals with a hot torch."

in German they use the word for assembling 2 big mechanical parts together, like the carriage and the body of a car
