So I’m eating breakfast and I thought of this thread and came to some conclusions. First, this is not something anyone in my circle would do to another. It just isn’t. We live in a world where you the risk of someone else fucking with your food or drink is very real, let alone a fucking friend or even an acquaintance.
Next, I think it’s definitely something someone in their teens would think of doing and I still say adulterating someone’s food is off limits, but that’s me…I grew up around different kind of people apparently, and transgressions were less forgiven. No matter how you slice it, this aint “grown folk stuff”.
Icy hot in my underwear before a game = funny. I say, “you motherfucker”, he giggles uncontrollably, I go to locker room to wash my nutz and change, still muttering obscenities and we go play the game, drink beer later and laugh about it. Making me violently ill with a 5 alarm fire pepper = assault/not funny/assholerly and it’s going to end with both of us in an ER.
Finally, after much consideration, self-examination and deep reflection, I’m 100% positive I’d become violent if someone fucked with my food, even at the risk of being labeled the dreaded “internet tough guy”.
CAN THE GUY WHO ATE THE PEPPER PLEASE REPORT BACK? I BET HE’S IN HIS SICK BED.
Anyone ever had one? I’m contemplating getting some of it, being the total douchebag friend that I am, I’m going sneak it into my best friends food.
Do/don’t do?

That’s a really hot one, umm not sure can someone get hurt from a pepper?
I wouldn’t but then I have been known to be annoyingly nice and not one to see the funny in most pranks. :-/

There is a scale for how hot food is.
The ones in the upper range are not even sold to the public and there are good reasons why.
Meaning, yes, you can hurt the shit out of people with peppers.

Yes I ended up googling it after. There was a case of a person dieing from capsaicin poisoning/toxicity(it was a concentrate), it was a baby though. It would be hard for a full grown person to die from it, according to the article I was reading.
Definitely make you sick though.

Yeah well in BC we smoke the most pot.
Which means we would be out murdering more if it didn’t involve leaving the house or getting up off the sofa. [/quote]
I have always said that pot was a much less dangerous drug than alcohol. Leaves you too paranoid to drive any further than 7-11 and no ambition to do even that until the munchies kick in.
I don’t live near either of these cities btw, I’m out in the sticks with lots of lakes and woodlands. We do have a pretty big heroin problem though.[/quote]
@ CH, we used to get a lot of canadian pot down here. It was good stuff! Unfortunately the Mexicans have developed quite a strangehold on the area and theirs just isn’t quite the same.
Canadian hydro is still around but it costs significantly more now.
@Testy, I agree! Pot has never made me black out, act out of ordinary, poisened me or given me horrendous hangovers. Just a giggly, happy feeling. And if I’m particularly sore from training, it does absolute wonders to ease the pain, plus an appetite boost! The pot “prohibition” has gone on waaay too long. I mean alcohol literally kills people and you can buy it at a fucking gas station while you fuel up your car and then drive.

This reminded me of the time I found a dead mouse in my desk drawer at work. He had chewed into a package of Tacobell fire sauce and apparently had a heart attack. And that isn’t even that hot.

If a friend put a ghost pepper in my taco here’s what would happen-
I’d get two bites in before I noticed something was seriously wrong and put my taco- or whatever it is- down. My “friend” would start laughing at my increasing misery and soon likely take credit for the act of terrorism. At this point I would take the remains of my adulterated food item and forcibly smear it in his face. Our misery would now be shared, justice served (since I’m assuming ghost pepper in the eyes is many times worse than in the mouth) and I’d take whatever milk was available in the building and run (since he wouldn’t be able to see me at that point). Problem solved. Except for the hours of misery I’d still have to endure, but still.[/quote]

Are there membership dues? How long does it take to get my membership card in the mail?

You have to punch the mail man in the face first, to show that you are physically capable of hitting a real person, then it’s yours.

The truth is, you make the membership insignia out of the mailman’s teeth.

But I thought being an internet tough guy meant you weren’t really a tough guy so wouldn’t proving you’re a internet tough guy involve proving that you aren’t a tough guy?
So I think it would be that the mailman would confirm it by demanding that you make him some cookies and of course you do because you don’t want to get hit.
Which would prove that you are an “internet tough guy”.

Good thinking, you are probably right.
Alas, pointing out that ITGs are fakeroos is not very polite and therefore un-Canadian.

[/quote] I think baking cookies would prove you are not scared to be vulnerable around the mailman, he is such a nonthreat. Then explaining the situation online where people choose not to believe you b/c they can’t see themselves carrying out the scenario labels you an e-tough guy based on their own meek, egocentric world view.

Proving that everyone else is an e tough guy by their response to the cookie baking test(he folded) does not prove that the one baking the cookies is not also an e tough guy. He still could have baked the cookies out of fear.

[/quote] He could have but didn’t. His net nemesis disagree to gloat and the other cynics just feel threatened by mailmen and simply cannot believe a cookie baker could be acting out of confidence.
