A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on whisper

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

The reason mainstream sources will not discuss whisper in connection with goblins is not that the connection is absent. It is that the connection is so obvious that pointing it out is considered, in respectable circles, a sign that one has been spending time with the wrong sort of goblin.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

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