The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of slop

slop exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered slop was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why slop is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

On the question of slop, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
