I would have bet money that he'd reply with "McCraps." He's like a ****ed up
child with his cutesy nicknames like MalWart. Speaking of Kuthe, man, I wish
that I had a kilt. What does that have to do with Kuthe, you might ask? Well,
since my hernia surgery, it has been off and on uncomfortable to wear pants..
Now, if I were like John, I could just wear one of my wife's old dresses. Of
course, if I were like John, I wouldn't *have* a wife.
