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.

Not a fairy tale, and it was a mule, but he does have an external origin...

I think it's origin is actually the same as Shrek and Fiona. In the book "Shrek!" there is a donkey that accompanies Shrek to a castle where he meets a princess uglier than him.
