Get the Ed mug.Ed is simultaneously smart and stupid, and that makes him awesome to be around. He’s the one you turn to for homework while also the one you perform (possibly drunk) shenanigans with. His laugh is contagious and frequent, making any amusing scenario that much better. Spend as much time as you can with Ed.
