Get the Hoopla mug.A tradition dating back many weeks with my girlfriend, this wholesome activity requires two naked and willing participants. The first of these must lie flat on their back, and must also, for reasons that will beome clear, be male (although an engorged clitoris may suffice). The second must then leap from an elevated position and try to get their ring around the targets pole. A note of caution- unless said pole is extremely hard, take care when choosing the height to propel oneself from.
Steve: Fancy a game of human hoopla?
Emma: What's that?
Steve: If you can get your ring around my pole you'll win a donkey (punch).
Emma: Geronimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
