Get the Stalin's Bible mug.The gay sex act that involves one man spraying shaving cream around his belly button and the other taking three pennies. One he inserts into his ass, the second he superglues to his right testicle and the third he flips. If it's heads he rips the penny off his right testicle and goes down on the other mans belly button and then spits the shaving cream the other mans eye like a wad of cum. If he flips tails he has to shit the penny out then punch the other man in the face while the other man is in the floor grabs his ankles and grabs him in a lawn mower position.
