Get the Clearing my History mug.1. A sex act where a passive partner finds the biggest prison dweller he can possibly find, to reunite with him in a darkest, dampest, most isolated dungeon that can be procured. the big guy then binds the passive one's limbs with barbed wire, sews a perfectly crafted miniature union jack on his right tit, gets a good hold of him and furiously rams him down under while both chant "God Save the Queen" in perfect unison. The passive partner then runs away jumping like an injured kangaroo and mooing like a pained cow., until he finds a bush and shits behind it like a camper. He then yells the big guy to get over there so that he can suck his dick. Bonus point if finding black people on the course of the act, pushing them out of the blue as hard as possible and then throwing alcohol/drugs on them while saying "I am a true gentleman". Be careful to run fast before they have a chance to react though, or the whole day spent on your fun Australia's History could be ruined.
