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 was also William the third of Orange, who first lived in the Netherlands where he had no wife but a lot of really close friends who would visit him frequent behind closed doors. He eventually married his cousin Mary Stuart and became the king of England and Scotland in 1689.

William the third of Orange

Ugh! So close! If only it had been "Donald the third of Orange". Then it would be one of those things that you see on TV shows, where they tell a story of a really long time ago (in this case the 1680s), and they just use their normal characters to play the roles of historical figures.

I'm just imagining a Simpsonized version of trump, in 1689 royal garbs, being known as "Donald the third of Orange".

The jokes write themselves when our president is a joke.
