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.

There's a city (town) in Oklahoma called Miami. If you pronounce it as you would you'd be quickly and redneckedly corrected. It is pronounced "my am uh" as anyone with a shred of sophistication would already know.

(It's actually a native word, but still, I like jokes. They hide the pain)

Lafayette Georgia is "luh-FAY-et" and Madrid Alabama is "MAD-rid" because stupidity is standard practice where I'm from.

These are all perfectly pronounceable when I speak like Arthur Morgan.

Tap for spoilerIf you don’t get the reference, he’s the main character in Red Dead Redemption 2, the best video game ever.
