Get the begrieve mug.I've taken this from the Allsorts advert. Which used the saying "One to many and you might turn Bertie". Bertie can be used for when you've had one to many of anything.

Get the salmon berries mug.A boring redneck town, full of idiots that cant drive, a place where the only way to enjoy is being shitfaced drunk all the time, in order to live here you must have high self esteem in order to block out the retarded rednecks struggling to lead a normal life, the only advantage is that its a small town and easy to leave.

Get the Berrien Springs, Mi mug.He’s the guy who gets the job done right the first time. He’s the one men go to when they need advice about building shit and women flock to when they need their pipes serviced properly. He has a really deep voice and growls when things aren’t done properly which makes him even more compelling to call in for help.
