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.

Fall off a horse -> dust yourself off and get back on. There's a whole idiom about how falling off horses is a frustrating but ultimately minor inconvenience.

Fall off a gryphon -> you are dead.

Superman was paralyzed from falling off a horse. It can be way more than an inconvenience.

Could slip in the shower too. Not sure what my point is... just trying to be extra pedantic I guess.

Wait, what's the reasoning? Dude can stop bullets and be slapped through buildings but a Lil fall screwed him?
