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.

The Comanche were some of history's finest horse archers and it required the invention of the repeating rifle to end their supremacy of the plains.

There could have been a much stronger Spanish influence on the plains of North America had the Comanche not been there to turn their empire back.
