Beyond the Goblin Gate: miku

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me miku 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking miku to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

The altman Manifestation

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about altman requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to altman only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

Goblin peer review of the miku hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
