Big Merv is named quite aptly, by all accounts.
It is reccomended that if you are sharing his cell you take the following items.....
LARGE tub of Vaseline
Bullet to bite
Crotchless underwear
Love Hearts sweets...he likes them
High heels so he has less stress on his knees
Red lipstick...he is running out
Use a French accent when speaking to him
An octopus......nobody knows why yet...
