Get the Kinney mug.A devilish animal that dwells in the dark, bushed areas of New England. Has no chance at salvation and often likes to start shit shows just for the fun of it. One can often find a kinney prancing about new markets with a spelunking light attached to his forhead practicing on a trombone for the big parade. A kinney is considered to be the most deadly of all omens, worse than a black cat, broken mirror, or a house guest puking on herself in the middle of dinner.
Beth: Did you see that kinney?
John: No heh
Beth: What a frightening beast indeed. I believe the apocalyse is upon us.
