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.

Ya know, given recent events, certain people have made me aware that I often say shalom, call my baby daughter "bubby" and use other words like "schlep" and "schvitzing," as though Yiddish was evil. They are, of course, assholes.

Natural, I'll continue to use those words because I was raised on Mel Brooks movies, especially Men in Tights, which is a goddamn classic.

Many Yiddish words like "schlep" are so mainstream that it doesn't even register with me.
