Get the Welsh Breakfast mug.The BEST show to come on TV in a long time.
The plot centers around Walter White, a chemistry teacher with nothing going right. He doesn't get paid enough, his son has cerebral palsy, his wife is pregnant, and to top it all off, he has lung cancer. So the only logical way to raise money is to use his skills in chemistry to cook up some really "good" meth and sell it with the help of his former student-turned-pusher. It also doesn't help that his brother in law is in the DEA. Bryan Cranston, known as the wacky father and only saving grace of that disgraceful malcolm in the middle show, plays Walter to perfection.
If you haven't seen this show...WATCH IT!

Get the Table Breaking mug.When a woman is on her period and a man decides to have anal sex with her not realizing that she also has explosive diarrhea at the same time. The woman wants to please her man and thinks that his penis will act as a levee and hold the shit in, but she doesn't realize that the added pressure from his ejaculate will cause the diarrhea to forcefully explode all over when he pulls out. The resulting cum, blood, and shit mixture takes days to clean up.
I was having a great time giving it to Beatrice in the ass, but all of a sudden she had a Mississippi Levee break when I pulled out and shit got all over the place. Since I already came, I just wiped my dick on her pillow and went home. It was a good thing we had flood insurance .
