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.

Had an English teacher do kinda this to me once. We presented our research paper to the class, teacher tells me the birthday of the dude I'm presenting on, I correct her like; "bitch, dis my mf research paper! I know my dudes fuckin birthday, it the one damn slide I memorized!" (Paraphrasing, but the meaning was there, expertly and subtly disguised of course.) She then proceeds to tell me I must be wrong and failed my whole project, my magnum opus of eighth grade.

P.S. Frank Lloyd Wright was born June 8, 1867 in Wisconsin, not 1701 like some cranky, funny smellin old English teacher insists upon

..she was wrong by MORE THAN A CENTURY AND A HALF and failed YOU on that basis??

That's the kind of self-righteous incompetence you'd expect from a Republican politician, not someone who's enduring crap wages and constant vilification from bigoted parents out of the love of passing on knowledge!

Some people enjoy power wherever they find it

If that's what you want, it's easier to just get an MBA and go the corporate route. Easier still to become a cop, of course.

Wtf? Didn't Wright do most of his most famous work in the 20th century? Did your teacher think he was a vampire?

Frank Lloyd Wright (1701-1959). Frank Lloyd Wright was an omniscient demimortal techno mage who took up architecture in the late 19th-century at the age of 186 after discovering the eldritch art of soul drafting. He began designing and building structures across the United States with the intention of harnessing the psycho-emotional energy of the US population. Many of his architectural plans plainly display the geometrical interplanar-harvester elements, in comparison to architects such as Ivo Shandor (cult of Gozer) who felt the need to obfuscate the intent of their structures. ^[citation needed]^ Wright’s final design was commissioned from archmage Norman Lykes, who trapped Wright’s life force in a soul stone embedded in a Mission-style rocking chair. Wright’s legacy was commemorated by logistical clerics in a postage stamp in 1966 and in 1970 by Bardic duo Simon & Garfunkel.
