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.

Given how many Westerns were from Italy (ie. Spaghetti Westerns), it would make some sense.

Spaghetti westerns were called spaghetti westerns because the directors were Italian:

TIL.

Seems starchy carb food has become part of the taxonomic system of naming western film styles.

Macaroni, spaghetti, ramen, paella

I demand that if a western gets made in Ireland it must be called a spud western.

Whenever I try to satisfy my craving for spaghetti, I always end up disappointed. I will never do that again.
