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.

The US calls everything "French" because they think it'll sell better.
Until we collectively decided to be jerks about it in the early 2000s and called them "freedom fries" and "freedom toast." I think it's so weird that we're closer to the British than the French when France totally helped us out in the early days.
Yeah, I think so too, Japan does the same with food and luxury shops.
