I'm impressed Greebo
Your rep power says you're a "glorious beacon of light". Who knew?

Greebo thinks, "My plan nears fruition -- weeks of working, waiting, scheming and plotting is about to pay off! Soon I will rule Frugal Village with an Iron Fist!!!"
Oh, damn, when will I learn to contain my inner monologue...

AFAIK its from being thanked, or from using the little
