Get the Shane Warne mug.Shane is a tall skinny-fat male who didn't hit puberty until he was 32. Shane is a bitch, not in the sense that he is a mean-spirited individual but more so that he is a coward. Shane loves current game grumps and his favourite TV show is Johnny Test. Shane will winge and complain whenever he is asked to do anything. Can't cook to save his life, sustains himself on frozed pizza and ramen, but not the good kind. Shane is incredubly creative but will never get anything done because he is too indecisive to stick to one idea. Has watched every Adam Sandler movie.
Tim: son of a bitch Shane still hasn't done dishes yet, its his turn.
