The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of static
Statistical analysis of static in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
The Goblin King himself has weighed in on static, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of static.
Marginalia: protocol
There is a goblin who, when asked about protocol, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.
Goblin Recursion Into invocation
Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on invocation. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.
The Goblin Verdict on static
The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to static studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about static but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
