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.

Poland: Wants to be taken seriously.
Also Poland: Bezwzględny Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz wyruszył ze Szczebrzeszyna przez Szymankowszczyznę do Pszczyny. I choć nieraz zalewała go żółć, niepomny następstw znalazł ostatecznie szczęście w źdźble trawy.
Polish speaker here this is a moderately sensible sentence that reads:
The ruthless Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz (actual name and surname) has departed from Strzebrzeszyn (town name) to Pszczyna (another town) via Szymankowszczyzna (some village). Although many times he was full of bile, oblivious to the results, he found the final happiness in a grass blade.
The last sentence makes little logical sense to me, 'although' doesn't fit there. 'happiness in a grass blade' sounds like an idiom for a love of nature, but actually doesn't ring any bell. While 'final happiness' is ominous as fuck.
The only grass blade I can think of in Polish connotation is the blade of grass in Zubrowka, or bison grass wodka. I can't find any etymological bridge to turovka (the grass species in the wodka).
