1* Mike gets one after finally standing up to Reggie and acting like a boss in [[http://betweenfailures.com/comics1/546-he-stays this strip]]
2** Before that, Nina slaps Reggie in the face after he almost pushed Ed too far. It connected so hard that he starts ''bleeding,'' in fact.
3* Several members of the store get them during the Toy Gun War. Of note...
4** Mike charging into battle, not with a gun, but with a ''[[https://betweenfailures.com/comics1/910-larp toy Battle Axe]]'' throwing ammo like LARP Magic Missiles.
5** Nina [[https://betweenfailures.com/comics1/941-just-me disarming Mike]] and [[https://betweenfailures.com/comics1/942-yeild stealing his axe]], not to mention winning the whole war.
6** Reggie, after Carol fires a shot at Nina that she's ill prepared to doge, [[https://betweenfailures.com/comics1/951-a-man-with-a-shrink-ray-used-to-be-shown-some-respect shoots Carol's shot out of midair so he can challenge Nina to a 1-on-1 Duel]]. Fortune favors the bold indeed.
7* Reggie gets one at the furry club meeting when [[http://betweenfailures.com/comics1/1357-hammer-time he tells Evrina off for trying to make John and himself feel unwelcome.]]
8* Reggie's tale of how he lost his virginity pulls overtime as a moment of Heartwarming, Awesome, and Tearjerker all at once. The Awesome aspect is that the story itself is deeply personal to Reggie, essentially a closely-guarded secret; He tells the story anyway because Evrina had challenged him to tell everyone about it to be initiated into the Order of the Pelt, fully expecting him to balk at the challenge. Say what you will about Reggie, he does not back down from a challenge.
9* Despite himself, Reggie racks up a lot of these - one of the most recent being crashing one of John and Thomas' Ghost Hunting expeditions at a run-down hotel, then using his knowledge of Construction from his attempts at working with his father to find a ''hidden bomb shelter'' under the hotel, complete with the owner's corpse.
