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.

While it almost certainly made up. We would sometimes play black jack...

For money? Would be awesome for whoever was the "house"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, we would rotate "house", like quarters nothing major.
