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.

I wonder what percentage of Western lemmings can actually say they have at least these "simple" things (excluding the last few points, of course).

Cornbread and fried chicken have been around since before 1980, but the rest is pretty generic and fitting. I also have relatives who were moonshiners out in Ohio by a town which is literally called “knockemstiff” because one drink was powerful enough to “knock ya stiff” lol

Not sure the part about criminals fits though. Old men running illegal rooster fights aren’t exactly organized crime haha

Every culture other than maybe the British and the Dutch has good meals, some are just more hidden.

The neoliberal 80s and 90s killed families.

It's 50/50 if your grandma is horribly racist or actually pretty cool.

Bags in a bag are boring, have you heard of a box of boxes? You never know when you need a box at some point.

Parties were synonymous with heavy drinking where I grew up. You don't drink, you are an outsider.

Criminals are the usual, I guess. I've never been victim to a violent crime, no idea if it is common sense or just being lucky. Someone else recently said they get into serious fights regularly, I do wonder what they do wrong or I do right.
