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.

Weevils are very cool. I only recently became aware of them.

Why, pray, is the shortest watch called the "dog watch"? Because it's CUR-TAILED! Hah! I have you sir, you're dished!

Killick, Killick there! Light along with the Madiera!

The Aubrey-Maturin books are some of my dearest favorites, and the movie is great fun too.
