Bully and a rope.

A bully and a strong rope!

It is a rare thing when you get to assist Karma with her job but sometimes it does happen. For many years there was this troublesome soul that did his best to torment others and he left a few marks on me and a few rope playing jokers that I hung around with. He touted us often about being wimps and of course pansies. Being the tuff pansies (pansies are hardy flowers) that we were we dreamed up an ingenious plan to set him up with a scare of a life time. We took him along on a trip to our favorite rock location near Buckskin Charley picnic area. Nice big rock with a drop on to a picnic table and fire pit. We figured we had enough rope to for sure tie the end off at the bottom to the table when the time was right. The table was one of those monster forest camp tables made with deeds of this sort in mind. Made of heavy lumber and large blocks of concrete poured in place so they wouldn't grow legs and walk away. We figured a few times down the rope and he would not suspect a thing. We rappelled for an hour or two getting the bait lured in to the trap. Then we used the key words to start the big set up. Getting hungry for the drive in was brought up and then the victim was in the trap. About half way down the cliff we pulled the rope super hard and tight and made use of the perfect location of the picnic table by tying the rope off to it. By this time the bully knew he was in a rather pinnacle of a spot with no way up or down. We proceeded to ruff up the bully as he hissed threats and call us things as we readied things to go get a burger and return later from town.

 He reminded me of a cat hung up in a tree high on a branch to scared to fall or climb back down, arms and legs clinging to the rope. We went to the truck and made noises like we were getting in and leaving. We had been planning a great hiding spot to watch the fun and listen to him panic. The bully hung for a spell and started to plead that we would just please let him down. After a while we decided to give in and let him down but that he would promise everything to never bother us or anyone else ever again. By the time the school year started he had moved away and we hoped he wouldn't return any time soon.

Since then I have come to understand the things that drive some people to act out as a bully. Yes I would say it was a far too extreme away to deal with a problem. There may well be some better ways with less hazardous possibilities for disaster. Think for a bit about how we treat others or have. How do we go about fixing things we may have done to someone or others that we feel bad about. Yeppers I made good with this one but I have lots more to fix up, I'm sure. Some advice for the bullies of the world beware of peeps with long and strong ropes. Add to that peeps that geocache. Those are people that have the potential to assist Karma in some way or another. Please don't try this method of bully enlightening it could be hazardous in some way or another. I don't recommend fighting a bully but if it happens to you stand your ground or maybe run. If you’re that bully that goes to start something make sure you’re prepared to change your shorts things could get messy.
