Tiger Again Again

I've told you about Tiger. He's made lots of visits to my basement for paddle games. And I told you about Vinnie, the young man who I contacted on Spankboys who traveled up the interstate for an afternoon of trading swats. I told you about Pledge, the biggest, burliest former college football player and pledge master who has twice turned my basement into his frat house. And I told you about John, a member of our group who's just learning about this stuff and ventured over to my place to trade some licks with Tiger and me a month or so ago. I probably even mentioned Mark who came over one afternoon last winter, a paddling novice who at the very first swat said "Oh, I'm such a wimp!" and then laughed his way through a couple rounds of pretty gentle swats.

Well, the plan was last Friday to get them all together at one time for a real paddling extravaganza. But as they say, it was not to be. Pledge decided he'd rather go to a Cubs game. John's got problems making excuses to the wife. And Vinnie said he had a guy visiting from Atlanta. And Mark, of course, well just wimped out, some excuse or other. So it was up to Tiger and me. Like many times before. His butt against mine. He always stops on his way home from work, pretty punctual considering the traffic out of Chicago. So we made it down to the basement, laid out all the implements, amazing how many objects can be used for busting butt, and then we had a birthday score to settle.

Actually my previous session with the Pledge, Tiger didn't show. Excuses about being held up at work and horrible traffic, holiday weekend. And we were supposed to celebrate Tiger's birthday. So to start out this time we had to remind him we had to take care of his birthday spanking. Tiger wasn't unhappy about this. This is what he really likes. So I sat up on the table, and Tiger lay across my lap and I with ping pong paddle in hand sang in my best voice, "Happy birthday to your you ..." tap ... tap for each line! "How old are you?" tap ... tap again for each line. How many stanzas to this song? And how old is the Tiger? After two stanzas his butt was a little warm, and he maybe wasn't going to be too honest about counting years... 1 tap, 2 tap, 3 tap ....

What a good start to a paddling session. We played the usual draw a card, low draw takes swats game. Equal draw, get naked game. Seeing the Tiger rosy butt, got me a little excited there. After two times through the deck and some pretty red bare butts we turned to the dart board. Darts takes some skill. I always aim for the 20 because low hit takes swats, but my aim was off, under the weather or something, and Tiger seemed to have really improved since our last attempt at darts. Of course, when I'm taking my swats I'm always thinking I'm getting more than my share. But we agree it pretty much balances out. And in the end I know that Tiger and Pledge take it easy on my poor butt because I cry so much.

So it was a pleasant evening. We decided we probably need some new games. And probably the variety of new butts. Always happy to trade with the Tiger. This week he's off to Las Vegas. Maybe he'll have some paddling stories to tell. Hoping when he gets back we have chance to get the whole group together. John and Vinnie, Pledge and Tiger, and maybe even Mark! If we're lucky.

And Again

Haven't any of you guys had your butts whupped in the last week? You'd think you'd want to let us know about it?

Tiger and I got together Friday night. Tried the new paddle, like a real paddle, like an oar. Real long, tricky to handle. Makes a solid connection. And a new strap. Real wide and thick. No handle. Need to work on our technique.

He and I have gotten together so many times, we're doing too much chatting and not enough butt whupping. But then two days later, there's still a reminder. Can't be swinging a paddle for two hours and not have a reminder.

Any other guys out there with a warm glow on your butt, a reminder. Or you all just playing like you interested in this trading swats stuff?
