  2. SKRONKERZ are the immortal beings that created the universe and all of the galaxies and everything of that nature. SKRONKERZ live amongst you but no one knows who they are except themselves and a few close to them. SKRONKERZ are so fucking awesome that they can kill people without doing anything. SKRONKERZ can do anything and everything they want to. SKRONKERZ can make tidal waves with their skeet. It is believed that one SKRONKER goes by the alias of Skeet Bandit, more commonly known as SB.
