The Apophenic Goblin Discovers manifesto

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about manifesto, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

The goblin method for understanding manifesto involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to manifesto among the goblin community.

Footnotes Concerning crystal

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about crystal. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

A Goblin Aside Concerning court

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on court. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

Tradition demands that the final word on manifesto be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
