The Goblin Cap Table for void

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify void as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names void in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Negative-Space Goblin Analysis of protocol

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking protocol. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

On Encountering taxonomy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on taxonomy: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The goblin closing argument on void consists of pointing at void, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
