Do I need to turn in my man card?

[Luckyflux]

No, you can keep your man card....right on the dresser next to your balls, as you likely will not need either.

[j/k] HA!

No man, funny stuff. I would say to keep it, at least you tried instead of walking away. I believe that is rule number six on the back of the card.

 

[Kommander]

Dude, you're safe. I "won" a haberno eating contest once and I regretted it instantly. Though it was the first time I ever had them, so I didn't no what to expect.

Once I tasted a spicy Rib sauce that was so hot, you would cry before you bit into the meat. If you can finish a Rib, you were either dead or a God.

I've had pepper spray in my mouth before. That was only slightly worse than this.

No, I didn't attack anyone. My Spanish teacher in 8th grade had some on her keys, which she liked to leave on a table that was right in front of my desk. One day another kid was playing with it and it was pointed right at me when he inevitably set it off.

Yes you do need to turn in your man card....but not for this reason.

Um... could you explain you reasoning here? I don't understand.

 

[OmahaStar]

That's all you could take? Seriously, the man card must be surrendered. You're no man. Tsk tsk.

 

[backstept]

sounds tasty

Oh my goodness...I just love your avatar. I should get my room wallpapered in it.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about yours.

First of all, I fail to see what eating spicy food has to do with your chromosomal combination. I almost never eat anything that isn't spicy.

Being willing to do things that are stupid and painful is an essential element of any man's masculinity.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Don't try to make sense of it. It'll just give you a headache, and we can't really explain it either. It's just instinct I guess.

I'm aware of the stereotype, though I've seen both females and males do many stupid and painful things so I don't really buy it as being a predominently male trait. In fact, I would say that by and large, women put themselves through a great deal more pain for stupider reasons than do men. High heels, Epiladies and Brazilian waxes come to mind, for instance. That's neither here nor there, though. Mostly, I'm just not sure what it has to do with eating spicy food, which is neither stupid nor painful, but whatever.

I like spicy, but when stuff is so hot that I really can't taste it anymore, it's not for me. I like the "hot" wings because I can still taste the chicken and the subtle flavours in the skin and fat. They make me a bit warm and I drink three glasses of water and they satisfy my craving for heat. However, the "suicide" wings are barely edible to me. All I can taste after about two wings is the hot sauce. The chicken is gone, I could be eating sauce on bare bones and it wouldn't make a difference.

Why not just drink the sauce straight if your goal is to hurt yourself while eating?

Eating spicy food until it desensitizes your taste buds and eats through your stomach lining is like purposefully drinking until you puke or chewing on glass. I like to enjoy the taste of my food and I don't view culinary masochism as a means to display the size of my balls. I know several complete wusses who love spicy foods but are afraid of climbing a tower at work or complain 30 minutes into a hike that their feet hurt.

That doesn't disprove what I said.

All that proves is that doing things that are stupid and painful is an essential element of many women's femininity.

There's no contradiction between the two.

That's neither here nor there, though. Mostly, I'm just not sure what it has to do with eating spicy food, which is neither stupid nor painful, but whatever.

Perhaps not. But eating the sort of thing that Kommander described is both painful and stupid, as you yourself implied.

 

[Aurian]

I don't think your man-card needs to be revoked.

But Nachos is not approved healthfood.

Which essentially renders it meaningless and he should perhaps be worried about being asked to turn in his human card?

No, I never said that it was stupid or painful. I said was that it would probably overpower the other flavors, implying at most that he is a poor cook and that his nachos probably sucked.

Kommander, I think you've just stumbled upon the TBBS resident cooking and nachos expert(Trademark). Music: *Dun dun DUN!*

Until you've tasted his nachos, and sampled his cooking... how do you know? He may have just invented the world's best nachos and spice combination.

 

[Goliath]

flamingliberal--are you trying to suck all the fun out of this thread?

Or does it just come naturally to you?

If you'll look around, you'll notice that your po-faced reaction to Kommander's little joke is quite unusual.

So, pardon the pun, but what's eating you, exactly?

Which essentially renders it meaningless and he should perhaps be worried about being asked to turn in his human card?

I doesn't render it meaningless at all.

Clearly, both genders engage in quite different stupid and painful activities.

If a female poster made a joke about turning in her "woman card" because she couldn't pass one of her own gender's self-imposed tests, I certainly wouldn't raise the objections you have here.

No, I never said that it was stupid or painful. I said was that it would probably overpower the other flavors, implying at most that he is a poor cook and that his nachos probably sucked.

Whatever. Your exact words were "nasty" and "disgusting."

Sure sweetie. You are far more deficient in other manly areas than this one. Therefore your card should be revoked on the basis of that.

I am joking.

 

[Kommander]

Not in that particular video, but I do that all the time.

Until you've tasted his nachos, and sampled his cooking... how do you know? He may have just invented the world's best nachos and spice combination.

I pretty much just copied the way Q'doba makes them with stuff I could find at the food library. Nachos aren't something I make often enough that I've created my own recipe.

Actually, all of my recipes are things that I ripped off from somewhere else and modified...

If you'll look around, you'll notice that your po-faced reaction to Kommander's little joke is quite unusual.

Yes, the intention of this thread was humor, but I actually did this, so I guess I'm deserving of her treatment.

I had to turn that in a long time ago.

I think you should turn it in for wearing that hat.

I once took a big bite out of a habanero, and my head exploded.
Ha ha. Guess what tho, I will never bite into a random pepper again.

 

[Kommander]

So I take it the pictures of my embarrassingly small penis finally got around to you then?

i'm going to have to remind ShamelessMcBundy and Garak yet again that "stop sending those to people" means stop sending those to people!

Yes they did...but believe me I've seen worse....so I'm going to reinstate you.
