IBR Saturday Part II (BINGO)

Saturday night went well from the beginning. All the contestants arrived on time to have Sister Betty let us know what we were going to do for the opening number. It was a really dorky thing involving a shower curtain and shower caps and back scrubbers. We were doing a bathing song from the bear in the blue house or something like that. Hmm, I think I dropped the soap. But it was fun and everyone participated.
Bingo was on. Betty introduced us all. She had a couple of us out front with our shirts off. Something to keep the kiddies occupied. Everyone was have a really good time.
The next bear out on stage was myself. I got up there and of course Betty knew who I was since I have been to Sister Bingo many times. Well, Betty decide she would auction off my ass to be paddled. I did not do anything to deserve it, just happened to be the wrong bear to hit the stage. Betty opened the bids and some heckler bid 5 cents. Hmm, I think I know who it was. Then my friend Steve bid $200.00, after I told him I did not want him to bid. Didn't care how much money he had. I would have settled for the 5 cents.
Well, of course in the name of charity, Betty took the bid and invited Steve up there to give me 2 whacks. I have seen Steve with a paddle before, and I knew I was in for some serious pain. Of course I was hoping that he would give me a break. NOPE. He took his first whack and I was suddenly reminded of my 7th grade social studies class where the teacher used to paddle those who did not do their homework. The diffence was, My mother put a total stop to that. No one would ever be paddled again.
Whack 2.. On my knees I fell and the pain was very very unbearable. I got sick to my stomach. My friend had just totally humiliated me in front of all these people. In the name of Charity, what is one to think. On camera as well. I believe I am going to have the film company leave that part out. One guy even told me that he and his friends were so offended that they left at intermission. He was considering writing to the BAR about it.
When I got back stage, all of the contestants showed up to see how I was doing. They were all very concerned and very shocked at the way it went with me out there. Some even offered to put some cold bottled water on my sore butt. Could have been fun had it not hurt so much. These guys were sooo amazing. They didn't care what was going on out front, all they cared about was that I was okay.
After a bit I decided to get my revenge. I asked all the guys to chip in $20.00 to help me get back at Steve. Not a single bear hesitated. I had in my hands $300.00 to donate and get Steve on stage to get his just reward. We all as a group right before intermission headed to the stage. Betty said "What are you bears doing, I didn't call for you". The she just backed off since we all were heading to the stage.
We got the audience to donate an extra $100 and Betty thought 1 paddle for each $100.00. I took the first two and they were pathetic. Then again, I have no experience with a paddle. So I asked if anyone out there was into that kind of thing. Sister Betty called on Sister Bearlesque (Spelling) who gave Steve 2 good shots for me. Score tied. The rest of Bingo went wonderful We did some silly things, and sold our shirts and we all got to be bingo cards for someone.
After it was over, I called it a night and headed on to bed ready for my very busy Sunday night.
Looking back on Bingo night, I do regret deciding to retaliate. I should have just turned the other cheek, or just let it go. I used to think the whole process was very fun. I even got paddled once before, but it was nothing like this. I am in the future not going to cheer for beatings, but just sit quietly and enjoy the other aspects of bingo. It will be just as fun for me if there were paddling or not. Soo with that, it is all in the past, and I am still friends with Steve. I love my new friends who came to my side to see how I was doing. Ohh, while Scott gave some bucks, he didn't come running back to check on me. Nuff said.
Sunday is almost here.

But alas, they were people who were paddled by your buddy Steve. There is a very fine line, of having fun at it and really beating someone's ass. Sometimes even raising a few hundred bucks for chairty are not worth the the outcome.
But I am glad that your butt was ok and that in the end you were a good sport about it.
Hugs,
Sr. Bearlesque
