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.

Kind of reminds me of a story my brother told of some country in Africa. He was friendly with some kids on the street and showed them how to set up an email address. So one day they came excitedly up to him and told him that they met someone and that they would be rich. Of course he immediately clocked the familiar scam.

He explained the whole situation by telling them that the internet was like the street. Don't trust anyone. That was an analogy they got pretty quickly.

Yeah, I don't understand this either. If someone offered me to make me rich by paying him 10 bucks on the street, I'd tell him to fuck off and evaluate my chances in a fight and/or escape route. But as soon as a computer is involved, some people's brain shuts off or something.

Have you seen lemurs and stuff? They're tiny.
