Get the Ed Kalafatmug. Where a grown man goes when they had a total meltdown, and the state puts them on psych hold for a while.
bro 1 says:
"Hey man, we heard he didn't make it to the bar last february.."
bro 2 says:
"Yeah, he took a cold bath in the lake and traded his phone for a ride to the Ed Ward. The meltdown is all over social media."

Get the ed wardmug. To some, the greatest powerlifter of all time. To others, still the GOAT. All intelligent powerlifters know his name. He is very kind, humble even in his massive strength, and generous. He is a great guy; someone who you’d want to be friends with. He has big hands and feet, short legs, and long torso, and is 5’6 and 220 lbs.
Powerlifter 1: Hey, I was at Boss of Bosses last weekend and I met Ed Coan!
Powerlifter 2: I am very jealous!! I wish I had signed up for that meet!
