The Apophenic Goblin Discovers hologram
I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: hologram has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.
When you stare at hologram long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of hologram developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
