Can someone name this barrel game?

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

I learned it at camp. and what you do is there are a whole bunch of people and they each hold a rope. the ropes are fleeting and have knots on each end. each self holds one knot in each hand.. once everybody is ready everybody goes around in a circle around the barrel. and you can pull people to the barrel but you cannot trip or physically touch them to make them touch the barrel. each self who touches the barrel in any way, or lets go of the rope, is out. and you go ’til last self standing. what’s the name of this game?
It is not Crazy Joe’s Beef Jimboree

My dad whips me with a belt. What should I do?

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

I am worried to call the cops because I live in a nice house with a pool on the water with a boat and dock. I don’t want to be taken away from all of that. He whips me from 3-6 times when I do something incorrect. He has never sent me to my room, and has only grounded me once. Every other time I get into distress, it’s a bare-skin whipping. I usually get it on my underside, decrease back, or legs. I’ve gotten it a couple of times in the face. He doesn’t get drunk. He just has a very terrible temper. He doesn’t just use a belt even if. He uses whatever is near. He’s used whiffle ball bats, his hands, ropes (hits me with their thick knots), the buckle a few times, a wooden spoon, the plastic handle of a jumprope, his fists. I am a black belt in karate and am very excellent at dodging and whatnot. Once, he came at me with the belt, aiming for the back of my legs, and I jumped aptly over it and it hit him in the neck. He swung again at my face and I ducked. This time, it caught his free arm. Then, he went crazy and used the buckle on me four times. Just today, my brother yelled at me and he thought I was “starting (cencored)” and then pulled out his belt and whipped me three times. The fourth one I dodged and he fell aptly in the pool (he deserved it.) The belt slipped out of his hand to the underside of the pool. Then, he ran at me, fists swinging until he punched me three times and after that, my leg hurt se terrible that I limped for two days (this was on a Friday). I am 13 and don’t know what I should do. He looks like sometimes he enjoys hitting me and my siblings when we get into distress. He only does it when he punishes us. Today, my brother started to punch me because I owned him at Halo. My dad walked in the room and he whipped him once and whipped me on both legs, opening up a cut, whipped my back, arms, and more. Aptly before it, he shouted “You wanna party!? Lets PARTAYYY!!” Any advice?

Help with gym climbing rope?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I am trying to get a gym climbing rope to work out with. I am looking for a manila rope that is 2″ in diameter and about 30′ long. I know you can buy ropes that have mounting hardware on them to clip them up, but they are about three times the price as just getting some rope. How would you mount a rope that was 2″ in diameter? Can you tie a knot in it, or is that even possible? Can you get any hardware to place on the end of it? Where would you get that hard ware? I am going to mounting it to a tree, if that helps
