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]
You may have to join the aforementioned “Internet Tough Guy” group, of which I am a member.

Are there membership dues? How long does it take to get my membership card in the mail?[/quote]
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”. ![]()
[/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.
[/quote]
I am very cocky about my cookie baking skillz!
And would never bake them for someone without good reason.
Is the mailman in on it? Do they already know each other?
E tough guys have been known to work in pairs.
