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.

So greentext is usually used like quotation marks or asterisks to denote roleplaying. Here it's being used to denote a soundboard like radio DJ's use.

The reference is to American classical rock stations that use very aggressive sound bumpers but play very milktoast music, usually the same 40 songs since the 80's

I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.

Interesting. Milquetoast. I'll need to internalize that spelling, thank you

Please tell me that "milktoast" isn't something that people eat.
