'''''Ask Cranky''''' (or '''''Ask Cranky Kong''''') is an activity on the ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' website.

Interestingly, this activity does not capitalize the letter "I" in sentences, and occasionally does the same for other letters (such at the letter "T" in "No. that would improve your life too much").
