Da Mekboy, Krog, decided dat his wrench wasn't green enough. Now, everyone knows green is best, so Krog didn't just paint it—he dipped da whole thing in a full pot of bright green paint. When da other ladz asked why, Krog pointed to the wet wrench and yelled, "Now it'z da greenest wrench ever!" Nobody could argue with dat!
