Predicted the twist early on, but still a fun article. Enthusiastically +1'd.

Ending made me giggle. +1

I dig this entry! I'm a fan of anything that screws with the "entity tries to escape, Foundation keeps it in" standard, but something about this particular set-up achieves a certain delightful absurdism when it comes to the disconnect between the Foundation and the Man in Khakis. +1 from me!

It’s nice to have a little innocuousness once in a while. Seconding the image of a man in khakis adding to the humor.
Liked it enough to do a reading.

I'm really torn. Just at a glance, it's quite the short article, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the narrative didn't hook me. It has a levity that doesn't let me take it seriously, but it's not ridiculous enough to be a joke SCP. It wasn't executed badly, and the concept is fine, but I'm not comfortable with it being a mainlist article.

I think this is really just a matter of personal preference, and it didn't hit the spot for me. Hesitant -1

This one leaves room for lots of interpretation, and that's all it does to me. Reminiscent of the old days, though.

I quite like this SCP. It is a fun concept, but i would’ve liked to see a bit more of an explanation as to how the entity's anomalous properties worked. That being Said when i read it i liked it, but it could definitely be improved upon. as with all works of fiction. Abstain for now.
