This troper and and her girlfriend once went into Wegmans supermarket and emerged with precisely the following: a bottle of wine, three Pink Lady apples, a jar of marshmallow topping and one solitary clove of garlic. It all made sense in context. On a more unnerving note, this troper currently works at a hardware store and recently saw a guy come up to her counter with an axe, a shovel and one other item which her mind has blocked so as to preserve her sanity. So yeeeeaahhhh...

I once had to get a microphone, Vaseline, a 30ft cord, and some packing pellets. No one ever got the joke, though.

Ever since this troper introduced his Friends to the wonders of Dead Rising 2, It has now become an in-joke between his friends talk about going to the store to get items such as "Bowie Knives, MMA Gloves, Duct tape" or "Kayak Paddle, Chainsaw, Duct Tape" Which has aroused many a bemused look or an strange comment by passers By. If anyone asks, We Just tell them to get the Game.

This Troper's friend was buying gag gifts that represented the objects in the common theater warm-up that goes: "One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese, four limerick oysters, five corpulent porpoises, six pairs of revlon tweezers..." and so on. Most were not perfect portrayals, but he WAS able to buy the six pairs of revlon tweezers without a problem. However, seeing his pile of strange objects, the cashier said, "All right, I have to ask. What are the six tweezers for?" Without missing a beat, he responded, "One for every day of the week, obviously." When she told him there were seven days in the week, he looked horrified and said, "NOT ON THE SABBATH!"

ThisTroper recently posted a status update on Facebook reading: "Guys, I have a great idea. I just need a bear trap, a watermelon, 500 monkeys, some kerosene and a pack of condoms."

The following day, this update was posted: "OK, I know last time didn't go well, but I have a better idea for this time. I'm just going to need some masking tape, a taxidermied duck, and three men with erectile dysfunction. Hopefully, no badgers will have to suffer this time."

This Troper was trying to cheer up a friend, which culminated with the line "I'll just whip up a quick remedy with a wolf hide, 7 jelly beans, a hawaiian shirt, half a tire and precicely three matches, one of which is waterproof." Worked beautifully.

Upon being asked why his paper was late, This Troper replied, "Well we had to let the concoction simmer for three days and we had trouble restraining the gorilla."

This Troper, whenever he and his friends have to make a plan for something, is fond of saying things along the lines of: "Alright, to get back at our math prof for those lousy test scores, we're going to need a 10 pound bag of frozen peas, 3 Puerto Ricans, a live bison, a dirigible, a pair of blue jeans, some jumper cables, a power drill, two pillows and an abridged copy of Hamlet. Now get all that stuff and meet me in Prague in 46 hours"

This troper and his friends have a game based around this trope. Go to walmart or something similar and buy 3 random items and any form of birth control. The prize is the look of confusion from the cashier.

This troper once went to Wal-Mart with his girlfriend and purchased only a large jug of apple juice and a home pregnancy test. She had no idea why I thought that was so funny.

Before or after ''{{Juno}}'' ?

This troper tried this idea out with a group of friends. With a box of Trojan Magnums, a small bottle of extra-virgin olive oil, a large bottle of Krazy glue, and a comment about fruit, he won by default, having made the cashier blush.

For this troper, the combination of items that got the winning look was a jar of toy slime, a lollipop with an ''interesting'' shape, and some toilet paper. The toilet paper was necessity; the other two things were just cool impulse buys.

bash.org has some good examples (http://bash.org/?768409). For this troper, the list is gardening manual-fertiliser-pot seeds.

So does {{xkcd}} (http://xkcd.com/236/).

Another great one here.

This troper's father was once asked to pick up some items and came back from the shops with a stick of mascara, a disposable camera and a bottle opener.

This troper once went on a shopping trip that involved buying latex gloves, razor blades, scotch tape, multi-coloured permanent markers and a bottle of lube. A very large bottle of lube.

This troper's father once went out to pick up a few things we needed around the house. These things just so happened to consist of petroleum jelly, painkillers, and hot sauce.

There is a chain of budget supermarkets in Europe called Lidl which sell a different, limited range of non-food items every week. As a result, if you want it, you need to buy it NOW. Automatically qualifying for this trope... except that the checkout staff have seen it ''all'' before.

This troper once checked out with a six-pack of hard lemonade, a thing of Reese's mini-peanut butter cups, a gun magazine, and a box of tampons. The clerk went PALE.

This troper can't really see what's so odd about that.

The implication, I think, was the juxtaposition of items indicating PMS (Chocolate, tampons) with alcohol and a gun magazine.

On the other side of the counter, This Lurker worked at a gas station. I was doing some paperwork one day when two guys walked up to the counter to purchase a box of condoms and three packages of breathmints. I rang them up, handed them their change and went back to paperwork. As they're about to walk out the door I hear one say, "oh my god!" I look up to see him rushing back to the counter with a please-believe-me look on his face and literally scream in my face...."WE'RE NOT GAY!". I hadn't even thought about it until that moment.

This troper played a similar game while at uni- we'd go down to the 24hr supermarket after the pubs shut and buy up to 4 items, with a big dirty grin on our face as we did so. The person who got the biggest reaction from the cashier won free drinks the next night. The all-time winner was an extra-large tub of Vaseline, a pineapple, a box of female condoms and 4 feet of braided curtain cord. The best this Troper ever came up with was a small butternut squash, a bottle of Johnson's baby oil, a large claw-hammer and a copy of the Radio Times. To this day, I wonder what the lass at the checkout thought I was planning, but I got some very odd looks for several weeks after (important tip: don't try this at the same place you do your regular shopping).

random person}} This troper had a friend who made a joke about this. He doesn't quite remember it, but it involved People Magazine.

Interestingly enough, the above counts as a NoodleIncident in itself.

This troper had a friend in High School who, whenever somebody displeased her, would say "And all I need to get revenge is..." and name several random objects involved in the torture. She never did any of them, though.

This troper's mother once had a friend ask her to get him a mango, a bag of dirt, and a photo of a coyote. To this day, we still have no clue whatsoever what these entailed, other than "some kind of prank". Adding to the confusion was that the man apparently asked other people for other random things.

Presumedly, the prank was "getting people to gather random things for him".

This troper used to frighten people who irritated him by staring at them for a second and then muttering random cooking instructions.

This troper knows of one writer of {{Aubrey-Maturin}} fanfic whose research caused her to type into Google a variety of random things such as "Scientific names for wombats," various terms to do with sailing, and "Was Governor Macquire's wife pretty?" She then commented, "If Google is recording my searches they must be going 'Huh?'" This troper has done similar in her time.

If Google pays any attention to my searches, then I'm officially boned. I like searching for fanfiction where there isn't any, all right?

You people haven't seen MetaSpy ...

I once made a joke that in order to stop myself from going into a rage, I'd need a bag, bamboo, a sword, 3 grapes, and a lemon. I also use the 3 grapes and a lemon a lot in other noodle implements jokes.

The bag to breath into, the the sword to slash at the bamboo, and the lemon and grapes to make some sort of alcholic mixed drink. Not very noodle-implementy to me...

Um, yeah, but what if the lemon and three grapes don't go there?

CrazyPrepared situations can be interpreted as this

This Troper had an RP character who was a bit of a Sadist and loves making people squirm. Once they had a mook tied up and he said the following: "Okay, I suggest you talk now, before He (a {{Genius Bruiser}} with a rep for Badassery) comes back with the Rat, Spark Plugs, and he'll want your belt." The mook immediately squealed, and the aforementioned Genius Bruiser wasn't too thrilled.

Another threat from the same character: "A copy of ''Atlas Shrugged'', some Vaseline, a bottle of minty mouthwash, and of course you" (you being the fellow being threatened).

This troper was RPing with a group of friends, when we were confronted with a magic barrier. My character, who is in fact a mad philosopher, suggested the following. "I can break through, but I need to use my scythe, two live rams, one pound of salt, a large, morbidly obese orc, and most importantly, the severed head of an elf." It should be noted that the above plan actually worked.

This troper had a simple thought-game with friends where one would have to break into a castle with only one gate (with guards), utilising two or three very simple materials (a comb, a shoe, a cow etc). Virtually every plan for entering the castle could be described this way.

This troper was once im-ing her bf's new boyfriend, and in an effort to freak him out, alluded to her last breakup involving, "Peaches and a screwdriver," and except to confirm she did not, in fact, mean the drink, refused to say any more on the subject because "it was just too horrible."

This troper likes to refer to the session where she permanently broke up with her first P&P RPG group as "the incident with the midget and the magic rope".

The more random components of my toolkit are a pack of Wrigley's doublemint, a few paperclips, four stubs of blackboard chalk, and a few springs taken from some dissected ballpoint pens. Oh, and don't forget the last 2 capsules of ant insecticide.

This troper's Wal-Mart receipt listed the following. Sleeping pills, dragon's blood incense, a 7/8" wooden dowel, a 3-ring binder, a USB drive, an ''Akira'' DVD, a deck of cards, and a toy bus.

This troper now wants to work at a Wal-Mart as a cashier just to say (upon seeing the list of unusual items) "Oh hey! I've done that before. Man, was that fun..." and see the confused (maybe disturbed, depending on the items) reactions.

Slightly off topic, but not by much: today at work, this troper was randomly talking about Law & Order with coworkers, when someone came by to re-stock spaghetti. A coworker blurted out "In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses involving noodles are considered especially heinous..."

This troper frequently lists numerous random objects needed to do something. The list always includes duct tape, varying amounts or rabid squirrels, and a bucket of blue paint.

This troper once participated in a forum game called "Ask a Stupid Question, Get a Stupid Answer". The question was, "What is my roommate ''doing'' in there?!" The answer she suggested was, "I can't go into details, but it involves Vin Diesel, a jar of peanut butter, and the complete works of Duran Duran."

This troper once implemented a "tactic" to win a sports fest using a "soul-stealing" cookie box, randomly folded paper, eggs and a belt buckle. Obviously, there was no plan and this troper's team lost, but the confusion of the people this troper messed with is a memory he carries on to this day.

This troper frequently improvises utterly logical explosives and assorted devices from common household materials for a Hunter: The Vigil game. Needless to say, the other players are commonly scared spitless. Now let's see what I can make from drain cleaner, Vaseline, wax, and propane...

My girlfriend once did this. Buying a pistol and ammo from the gunstore (which she wanted anyway, because she collects them) sometimes got her odd looks. When she does this while chugging down three water bottles, "accidentally" bringing out a pregnancy test with her credit card, and asking to use the bathroom, the clerk nearly fainted.

Not sure if it counts, but a running gag in {{Raekuul}}'s Sailor Moon fanfiction is Tsukino Ikuko's fantasy involving a banana peel and disco. Not plugging for it, since you'd need a deviantArt membership to read it (and probably be over 18, too (relax, nothing explicit, all implicit)) and I'm the same name everywhere I go on the 'tubes.

UPDATE: You can safely add two stuffed lions and five Krispy Kremes to that list.

I once saw "Sean Turner once killed a rhino with a poxy cement, orange concentrate, and an electric cock ring," written on a bathroom wall.

ThisTroper's friend once had to go to Walmart late at night to get some duct tape. While he was there, the friends he was with had him pick up some stuff for them, too. When he went to ring up the pistol ammo, {{Playboy}}, condoms, handcuffs, a rag, bleach, and (of course) the duct tape, the female cashier (the only other person in the store; she'd seen him pull up in his red child molester-esque van) paled and was very, very quiet. He had to re-assure her it wasn't what it looked like.

This troper's 4th Ed DungeonsAndDragons game has a RunningGag whenever we need to get information out of unwilling characters - the "Device." It's never been described in full, but the list of moving parts seems to get longer every time.

UPDATE: It finally got used in the game... and the results were messy. Looking back at its design plans shows someone's been adding to them - the ink is still fresh. Those gerbils weren't in there before... or the lead pipe... or- oh god, oh god the ''swirly straw...''

Far Side}} Mr Thingy?

Hey, we did that too! It was in a FinalFantasyX themed campaign. We called it "XXXX's friend" (name of player omitted to protect the innocent), and it was...something. At last count, it was a three-and-a-half-foot long phallic object covered in sandpaper, spikes and saw blades that could emerge from any surface, at any time, if the DM was vexed. It saw far too much use...

This troper and his friends have discovered that you can commit all kinds of heresy with just a bible, a few well placed words, a ringtone, and a christian bookstore. No, neither of the atheists suggested this, it was the catholic.

This troper tends to say he'd rather do many things than X (where X is something unpleasant), and "one of them involves a goat, a condom, some lubricant and a whip".

That's not random at all! Anyone can see that you're talking about having sadomasochistic sex with a goat.

No, no. The goat ''watches''.

This troper once formulated a brilliant plan to make the clerk think she was old enough to buy a violent R18+ rated DVD using her student ID card, blu-tack, and a small amount of dirt. She had the bad luck to get the clerk who had seen her around before and knew she wasn't eighteen, so she couldn't even try it out. Instead she just rang her friend and got him to pretend to be her dad giving her permission. That worked.

This troper actually ''wants'' to cause a NoodleIncident for himself, perhaps one involving a camcorder, a (willing) HeroicAlbino (or EvilAlbino) Dutch woman, a condom, some lubricant, a copy of the Karma Sutra, a DVD player and an unwitting audience.

This troper once told someone that he could do horrible things to him involving a cheese grater, a spade, three cans of soup and an albino chimpanzee.

This troper called on this for improvisation exercises in Drama pretty regularly. I think the most memorable list came when we needed to get to the next town, ''pronto''. My exact words: "Easy. I just four gallons of water, twenty-six magnets, nine mufflers, forty-eight feet of high-conductivity wire, a propane canister, two pairs of jumper cables, a standard naval anchor chain, sixty-two sparklers, a baker's dozen Ghengis Khan firework packs, and an empty ten gallon ice cream container."

This troper plays with this trope on occasion, usually in the form of "it's amazing what you can do with a brick, three golden retrievers, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, and too much free time." The NoodleImplements vary, but the "too much free time joke" name endures.

When this troper was freshly moved into his current condo, he looked at the top of his dresser and started laughing. He had only three things on it: a box of latex gloves, a small jar of Vaseline and a roll of electrical tape. And a valid, mostly school-related reason for each of them.

One of this troper's friends, when angered, would threaten to torture someone with a pair of needle-nosed pliers, an accordion and three grapes. This troper once terrified everyone by suggesting a viable torture method that would utilize only these items (and some restraints, of course).

This troper once described a decent response to how they handled {{Deadpool}} in the ''Wolverine'' movie as involving "a sledgehammer, ten kilograms of blasting gelignite, and a duck."

That actually sounds like something the real Deadpool would do.

A friend of this troper will occasionally threaten people with neon signage and... unusual methods.

In a discussion of "how much would a night like this cost?", my response was "$8 in the right part of town, but I'd have to bring my own grommets."

This troper at one point was putting together a few ideas that he'd like to see in a ''Series/DoctorWho'' AbridgedSeries, and ended up envisioning this exchange (fusing NoodleIncident and NoodleImplements) in "The Doctor's Daughter": #QUOTE#'''Soldier''': But how will we survive without the cloning vats?\\ '''Doctor''': Well, there's this thing called sex. I remember once - \\ [SCENE MISSING]\\ '''Doctor''': And that's how her shoes ended up on the roof. Any questions?\\ '''Soldier''': Where did the potato peeler fit in?\\ '''Doctor''': I still have no idea.

This troper has a {{Running Gag}} in her senior Girl Scouts troop whenever planning a hazing: Always refer remind someone to "bring the cat food" in front of the hazee.

This Troper likes to mess with everyone and anyone. She updated her Facebook status with "Anyone have any idea where I can get a cat, five paperclips, a thing of superglue, diet coke, twist ties, cardstock, and an abridged copy of Tale of Two Cities by morning?" and is going to have much fun playing with people who try to figure it out.

This troper stole that. It resulted in a couple of cheap jokes, the best of which was: #QUOTE#''I used to have a copy...they called it'' A Tale Of One City, ''though.''

This Troper has a similar case. When he was in a specialization course talking to people, sometimes the sound of a power drill would drown out the conversation. He made sure he said "...with a copy of the Kama Sutra, 5 cans of whipped cream, 37 weasels and a leather strap." (or similars) when it ended.

This troper has made a particular claim, among others, of being able to produce a high-explosive with apple juice, formaldehyde, scented candles, Vaseline, and seltzer. While this troper is kidding about this recipe, most of his friends tend to treat his casual and joking grin with more than a few grains of salt. Possibly due to the troper's near-eidetic memory and having taken a look in the Cookbook once.

This Troper is fond of "Bring me five octopus tentacles, a Bunsen burner and a motorcycle helmet before the next full moon."

I have a plan in the event of a zombie apocalypse. All I need is a drill, a crowbar, the Golden Jubilee and a painting of Michael Jackson.

No seriously I thought this through. It should work.

I want to see how this would work.

Okay, I can see where the Michael Jackson painting comes in, but what good is the Golden Jubilee if you don't have any Wacom tablets, a bottle of white zinfandel, or the pilot for the live-action Aquaman show?

You can do without them if you have a Luxray handy, but you'll need a bucket of seedless grapes and a printer.

This tropers newest joke is placing 20 pounds (9 kg, for the metric world) of uncooked noodles, a puppy, 3 (yes, three. Don't ask why such a specific number) shark teeth, and a 5-foot (152 cm) piece of a large chain next to the victim while they are sleeping, and wait for them to wait up to see what happens. Don't even ask what I could do with this, because I made it up on the spot.

This troper knows how to destroy the world using only a launch loop, a large number of electron guns, and a heck of a lot of cyclotron radiation.

You know, the SCPFoundation reported a missing Keter-class ApocalypseHow object a day after you posted that...

Two memorable examples for this Troper:

A few times, when someone on {{Roblox}} asked me how a certain script worked in one of my places (usualy either Roblox Lyoko or LittleBigRoblox), I'd respond saying, "The script is really compicated, but it requires...", and then pick any five items from the Roblox Studio Object Browser, in random quantities. One of my favorites was "[=five of each kind of variable holder, two RocketPropulsions, ten LocalScripts, four FileMeshes, and the Debris Service=]".

I was once telling some friends at school about a CrowningMomentOfFunny I had had on the internet just a few days earlier. Sensei overheard us and asked about it. I told her that it involved the aforementioned Roblox Studio program, a Wii Wheel, three songs from the ''{{LittleBigPlanet}}'' soundtrack, and the textbook for the class. One of my friends (possibly a fellow Troper!) said it sounded like a really great NoodleIncident, but asked why I didn't use screencaps from The Imageboard That Must Not Be Named instead of the Wii Wheel. The look on Sensei's face was priceless. (I never did find out what she said after hearing my explanation... Anyone know what "Noodle Incident" is in Japanese?)

ヌードルの事件

{{Quarma}} once told his friend that if he didn't get on AIM soon, he would do something that involved R-rated hugs, sonic accelerators, and tunics the size of golf club carriers.

{{Excel-2009}}. I find that if any of the above is questioned by anybody, it can be excused with a plaintive "You don't want to know".

A set that actually Makes Sense In Context: At the start of today's meeting about an event on Friday, the club president went out to her car, and came back with a box. The contents: One orange tablecloth, a wreath of brown-colored leaves, two origami bats, five tray-package things each of two different kinds of face paint, a preliminary copy of a brochure about the club, a picture-laden book about kabuki theater, and a set of keys that open [DATA EXPUNGED]. Prep stuff for Campus Awareness Day, where clubs make presentations to try and attract more members. The cloth, bats, and leaves were table decorations for our booth, the paint and book were for part of the costume component of the project, we needed 50 copies of the brochure to hand out to people at the booth, and the keys were actually for the [REDACTED]. Pity that we never found the club sword (just a plastic prop that disappeared over Summer Quarter), because it would've been a great decoration.

You visit the {{SCP Foundation}} a lot, don't you?

Subverted in that ThisTroper found out their purposes pretty quickly, but I recently attended my first screening of ''TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', and, well, I was a bit confused as to what I could possibly need to do with a cowbell, a squirt gun, a noisemaker, cards, etc.

Recently I went to Target and bought a few things: A pack of gum, a slinky and a DVD boxest of Pokemon... I'm suprised that the clerk didn't give me funny looks.

That;s because all Target clerks are dead inside, just a little bit. You could purchase pregnancy tests, personal lubricants, orange juice, packing tape, handcuffs, and a whip, and they don't bat an eye. Speaking from experience.

This little troper recently returned from a shopping trip at Target involving panties, an electric razor, a voice changer helmet, some duct tape, and a large amount of pasta with no sauce. Ok yeah, i actually needed the pasta, tape, and the razor.

My first successful (if you can call it that) P&P campaign (BESM to be exact) ended in an incident involving a Bass guitar, a scrap of paper, 600 ravens, an army of dragons,a great amount of recently removed eyeballs, 1 very badly thrown knife, and a restrained, VERY pissed off newly awakened Fire Mage.

This troper got some strange looks from her housemates after disappearing into the bathroom equipped with clingfilm, Vaseline and sellotape. And staying there for twenty minutes swearing occasionally. (She was changing the dressing on a new and somewhat difficult-to-reach tattoo.)

When I type up lab reports for science class, I do occasionally get interesting lists. My most memorable supply list called for thirty fifteen year-old girls, a camcorder, 2 weeks, and a beaker, among other things.

30 girls 1 beaker?

3frenchhens2turtledoves1cup.

One boring summer morning in the kitchen, I randomly said this in my head: "We've been stuck out here for three days with nothing but a can of tuna and a pair of socks!"

My brother is a great electrician, but practically AntiMagic when it comes to computers. His network went down during a family visit, so I volunteered to take a look. After poking around the router and the settings menu, I told him, "Sure, I can fix it. I'll need 12 feet of Cat 5, a roll of duct tape, a staple gun, 3 paperclips, my laptop, a 6-foot wooden dowel, some peanut butter, and a rat. Oh, and my iPod." Cue his O_o look and dad and sister-in-law laughing in the next room. Him: "You are so weird."

This troper on Gaia Online answers the odd questions (and not so odd) usually with the following: "Well there was that one time with a unicycle, 10 litres of paint, glitter, a trained bear, 2 zucchinis, 5 road flares, a bearded lady, a kazoo, a ladder and a spork, but I don't like to talk about it."

I have also used: "Well there was that one time with six gallons of paint, glitter, two zucchinis, a trained mule, a sailor uniform, a bullhorn, 5 flares, a bearded lady, and a spork. But, I don't like to talk about it."

I killed a fly with an electric pencil sharpener once. using it as a makeshift fly swatter.

That's not what I was thinking

In a forum post, I once had the illegitimate grandson of Rufus T. Firefly could inherit his grandfather's throne, provided he earned it. He did so with the aid of accomplices, and "an incredibly elaborate scheme involving a zeppelin, a truckload of hamsters, a Bob Hope album and the entire 1993 line-up of the New York Knicks."

This Troper once went to a supermarket counter with one of those long, coiled sausages, vaseline, and condoms. The cashier actually called over another cashier on break to look at me.

I recently walked past my brother and his girlfriend on my way out carrying two belts, two bowls, a bottle of water, and the keys to my car. "T'll explain later," I said. I was helping my dad rescue a couple of thirsty stray dogs. The belts were to be used as leashes, but the owner was found before I got there.

A length of plastic tubing formerly employed on a pool pump, a novelty plastic mug, two butter knives, then a wooden chair, and then a laundry basket, a large plastic bowl with a lid, a hair dryer and finally, a toilet plunger. To unplug the bathroom sink, but it's the chair that got the most attention.

One of my few friends in a writing class, when I was crying (He was a senior, so it was his last day) told me he would implement a plan involving "... {Teacher} , a banana, at least four costume changes, a tassel, several objects with bedecked with rhinestones, a screwdriver, a copy of “It’s A Wonderful Life”, a long blue feather, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra."

As much as I like to joke about this, we actually did get ourselves in a situation involving a gas lighter, a 3/8" drillbit, a can of hairspray, a sack of potatoes, three pairs of safety goggles, industrial strength glue, and several bits and pieces of ABS plastic. gun.

This troper can guarantee that there is no actual reason for smuggling 301 tortoises and four and a half pounds of cannabis into Malaysia that can possibly be better than the one you just thought of, whatever it might have been.

I did this for lulz on FaceBook. This is what I said: "Lol guys, I have a REALLLLY funny idea. But I'm gonna need a pack of grapes, a slingshot, a small electric motor, duct tape, a bottle of wine and 5 cloves of garlic. Oh and this has to be done at 5 AM or the bats might ruin the plan."

I posted on a friend's Facebook wall, "I have a movie idea that I want your help with. We'll need your house, two other actors, a camera operator, a baseball bat, the giant chicken costume from church and maybe two hours."

School projects lend themselves to this pretty easily. Me and two friends once found ourselves needing the following for a health assignment: a video camera, a tripod, one latex glove, scissors, fake blood, several Q-tips, a few cotton balls, ketchup, string cheese, a tortilla, a card table, a bottle of V-8, two electric blenders, shampoo, a cheese grater, a fork, a knife, and an apple. This was all necessary and directly related to the assignment. I'll let you try to figure it out.

A movie about a murder at a restaurant?

My friend's pit bull actually managed to do this once. My friend and I were discussing how she should break up with her boyfriend without hurting his feelings. Sarcastically, she asked her dog what he thought she should do. He left the room and came back with a large wooden spoon. How he expected us to use it is anyone's guess.

Cut out his heart, perhaps?

This Tropette, out of boredom once posted "Anyone know where I can get several five-gallon buckets of golfballs with no questions asked?" on Facebook. The scary part was that most people were quite helpful, and a few even offered to give me some of their golfballs. Only my older brother thought to ask what I was up to, probably because he knows me too well.

At the hotel I work at, we once had a couple of people check in for a couple of hours and then left. I went up to see if they destroyed the room. I came back down and told my housekeeping supervisor, "Nothing's wrong. Just a bunch of wet towels in the bathroom and a can of whip cream." She had a shocked look on her face.

One summer day back in High School, a friend once called my house and requested that my sister and I meet him on top of a nearby hill and bring a pair of spoons, with no further information given... As it turned out, the plan was to eat hoodsie cups with him, chat, and enjoy the view.

This troper, while sitting in the commons room of her school the other day, overheard a classmate talking on his cell phone: "Yeah, this'll be awesome! ... No, you have to get the cheap-ass condoms. ... So they'll pop when we put the cream cheese in 'em! ... I've got the nails, do you have a hammer? ... Great! Now just remember to buy some cream cheese and we'll be in business."

This Troper has been in Destination Imagination, and if you've ever been a member, you will know how to make ANYTHING out of the strangest things, like a model tower out of string, coffee filters, toothpicks, and bending straws.

I posted this on my FaceBook wall: "Guys, I just had an awesome idea. I'll need 10 gallons of soy milk, three bags of potato chips, five pairs of headphones, a DVD of Aladdin, some yarn, five pounds of birdseed, some root beer, a printer, some photos of hyenas, a GameBoy Advance, and a copy of Mr. Nutz. Oh, yeah, and some two meter by two meter squares of origami paper, a nine-inch square of florist's foil, and some red paint." I only had intended to use the last two items. I would use the paint to paint a piece of paper red, and then use the red paper and the florist's foil to fold an origami dragon that spits paper fire. What? I like origami! And it's a real model, too. It would probably take forever to fold, though.

After posting that, she had a very interesting conversation which started with "What are you making?", where she had to explain that all she wanted to make was confusion. One little gem was a post that her already-informed mother made just to be entertaining: "I can happily supply the photos of hyenas... ...but you can NOT have any of my delicious organic potato chips for any enterprise involving soy milk. :/ That's just *wrong*. ;P Oh, and as far as Aladdin goes -- will a VHS tape work? Or perhaps a wax cylinder for your Victrola?"

Just changed it to this: "Last time didn't work, but I got another idea. I'll need five boxes of Amazon Frosted Flakes, two liters of ice cream (either blueberry or vanilla will work), the GBA from the last post, a copy of the GBA port of Rampage, some soy sauce, a whole lot of duct tape, two thousand butterflies, two thousand small Mylar streamers in various colors, a toddler-sized wetsuit, Britney Spears' left shoe, and some glue." It was going to also include a purple tutu, a thousand ants, a thousand ant-sized saddles, and some of those letter magnets, but it was too long. Parents helped out with picking the items this time.

This Troper just now saw some college students get into an elevator with a chair, a trash can, a potted plant, and ''a rubber life raft''. When this troper asked what they planned to do with them, they simply said "don't worry about it"...

Anytime anyone asks this troper if they need anything, my standard response is usually "A plane ticket to Cuba, a Taiwanese midget, and $6 million in unmarked bills."

Additionally, one night my friends and I were bored and went to Wal-Mart to buy some board games. One of the guys in the group kindly decided to pick up the bill, in addition to getting himself some things. His final inventory at the register was as follows: Scrabble, duct tape, a six pack of beer, and some condoms. The checkout lady gave him a ''very'' strange look.

While talking about whether or not my college would be having a Halloween dance, My mother asked what I'd wear as a costume. I shrugged and said "I have an idea, but I'll need a suit, a see-through raincoat, and an axe." I offered no context.

This troper's poorly ventilated apartment lacks internet access, so every time he needs to make a [=PowerPoint=] presentation, whenever he goes to a cyber cafe/relative's house he search for pictures that are somehow related to the topic, save them to his USB, and make a presentation with them. It usually works very well.

A girl that this troper knows is currently implying one of these. So far, I have NO idea what she's talking about but it involves thongs, interviews, potentially going to Vegas, sports bras, kiddie cocktails, two cities near here, learning how to walk in high heels, and the letters JRIPPOP.

this troper once saw a comment for magical girl lyrical Nanoha episode seven, complaining about fate's mum reading: That bitch! Thats it! Bring my vaseline, a banana, and some duct tape! And we'll get this shit rollin'! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba8v4ELg3vM&NR=1

This troper had several occasions of using NoodleImplements to solve a few problems. His most memorable one involved helping a friend whose car kept stalling because the battery was running flat. First he used an extension cord, then when that didn't help, he used rope. Actually the help he was giving was towing the friends car using his own - because he didn't have a towing cable, he first tried the said extension cord which was lying around in the trunk, but it kept breaking. Then this gas station had a spare piece of rope lying around and was generous enough to give it to us for use.

When this troper got his new Nokia N97 cellphone, everyone in the office was wondering why it had a piece of velcro on the back. it was to have a place where a Stylus for the touchscreen, wrapped in the other piece of velcro, could be stuck to when not in use.

This Troper has the Google Toolbar, and searching on ThisVeryWiki will add what I searched on here to Recent, resulting in such things as Sword, Breach, Screw a goat, Incest, satan, arson, smile and Noodle winding up on the "recent search" section.

This Troper uses this trope as a yearly tradition for his Christmas gift suggestions. You see, my family doesn't really know each other, so we write a yearly list of gift suggestions and do a secret Santa thing. Of course, I have to populate my list with HILARITY. This year's list for example featured...

- The Octopus I didn't get last year (running gag)

- 5 Kg of Aluminum dust, 3 Kg of Iron Oxide

-A nice hat

- A rottweiler

-A drill

Among others. Sadly, I never got my Octopus :(

This troper brought the usual supplies for a weekend alone with a woman of significance. Also a bike lock. keep it in that bag.

This Troper was once asked on facebook to name five things which, if bought together, would make the shopkeeper wonder about her. Her response? "Fluffy handcuffs, a bowler hat, cat toys, brownie mix, and a very big jar of mayonaise".

This troper's friend Mike [claims to have] won a couples' skating contest with a STUFFED TOY AS HIS PARTNER.

Some of my classmates walked in saying: "And then we'll all dress up like animals." "Yeah, I'll bring the Russian bear on a motorcycle." It probably MakesSenseInContext... but how?

I once posted to a friend's DeviantArt profile that we would need 50 bottles of mustard, a cow, a purple helicopter, two car wheels, a few cans of beer and a waffle iron. Oh, and preferably before next week.

Also, I told a friend "Well, that glass has done lots of things here in this room... let's just say the last time, it took a while to get the horses out."

This Troper once took part in a one-shot RP set in the SCPFoundation in which he aquired SCP-050 using SCP-826, a copy of MachineOfDeath, a paddling pool, and some black food colouring.

Conversation with a friend: #QUOTE# Me: Hey, I have an awesome idea! We just need some spoons of cinnamon, a green chair, a can of Sprite from 2005, two cows and a toaster. Don't worry about the bears, we'll get past them with peach juice, a helicopter and a Hello Kitty chainsaw. #QUOTE# Friend: Without bringing bottle jam? aww, that sucks hand-baggage! #QUOTE# Me: Sorry, I've done some research and found out it's best to leave it at home. But you can bring the flower-shaped sponges, the hammer and the Wikileaks documents, if you want. In fact, I think they can be very useful here. #QUOTE# Friend: By here, you mean the super-effective retarded handsome cockpit? I do think leaving it at home would be the most sufficient way to do it in.

Anyone who looks up what I've been searching online for researching a story I've been writing is going to spend the rest of their lives wondering what I've been planning. Among my searches are low-yield thermonuclear weapons delivery, the culture of the Australian aborigines, the approximate cost of an AK-47, xenopsychology, images of the Replica from FirstEncounterAssaultRecon, Antarctic weather, the Soviet moon-launch program, VX gas, the cultural acceptance of lesbianism in Ohio, sleeping bags rated to -10 degrees Fahrenheit, the square-cube rule, Russian last names, ministerial government, the Hague Convention, Objectivism, methods of execution, Australian food, how to say "Pizza Bites" in Vietnamese, and a Google Images search for World War I battlefields.

I'm still waiting for someone to ask me why I keep a flashlight in my bag, so that I can respond with the 100% truthful statement that "It's a long story involving a webcam, the SlenderMan, and an old video game, but that's not important right now." Sadly, a flashlight apparently isn't too weird of a thing to be carrying around, since nobody's ever asked...

This troper likes to joke about that he could make a bomb with "some gasoline, and less than 20 bucks (or some capacitors, a coil, a transformer, a 9v battery and some wires if i feel that being more especific about it will make it funnier)" in his defense he REALLY means it, being from a technical school. And with his friends in the form of "GIMME 3 VOLTS!", "superconductivity" and "connect it to ground" as mysterious solution to everything

One day for school, I had to bring dental floss, some marbles, and a lego man named Bilbo. No, I won't go into it.

This troper likes to do these on occasion on Facebook statuses for fun.

On April Fool's day, I posted a status stating that I had an excellent prank ready to go, which involved raccoons, a zeppelin, and a bathtub full of toothpaste. Cue 20+ people commenting "Oh dear God..."

In the middle of a month-long battle of the sexes in this group I'm a part of on campus, I posted my supply list. #QUOTE#Felt tip markers ✓. Sunglasses ✓. Smoke bombs ✓. Ninja uniform ✓. Sumo wrestler costume ✓. Pie ✓. Quail ✓. Zeppelin ✓. Blowtorch ✓. Feather boa ✓. Stuffed giraffe ✓. Snorkel ✓. Holy water balloons. ✓. Zucchini ✓. Post-it notes ✓. Be afraid, girls.

Cue 50+ girls going "What."

This troper was walking around campus one day when he heard a girl telling a story where someone had dumped a bunch of party hats, some bags of flour and confetti on the table and asked "are you going to talk?"

The same troper as above once had an English project where he needed to bring in a wooden platter, some nuts (as in tools, not edible nuts) and chopsticks to class.

Not sure if this really counts since we know what the end product is supposed to do, but a few days ago, in some school event, we had to get in groups and build a device to launch a cotton ball using a ruler, a few rubber bands, masking tape, a piece of paper, a plastic spoon, a paper cup, and a tack.

This troper used to play a game where Noodle Impliments were used in a situation for various and sundry things (eg "You are currently falling out of the sky, You have: a rubber panda, a caterpillar, six feet of duct tape, a spoon, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and a New York strip steak. Eating the steak usually gave you superpowers of some sort and the symphony was highly explosive. So much better than learning math.

A tan-colored men's coat, some wire, a blonde wig, hair gel, a plush polar bear, a pair of glasses, pants, straps from an old purse, a sports bra, and some glue. Try to guess?

"Well, I've got an umbrella, six pens, a hand fan, two shoehorns, the bag full of flower petals and the chicken salad, so you just need to get the catnip and a screwdriver and we're good to go."

While playing Scribblenauts, I caused a game glitch using the following: a pair of wings, a set of scuba-diving equipment, a shrink ray and a lake.

This troper once purchased a case of beer, a machete, a roll of duct tape, and a ski mask. Just to screw with the cashier.

On one occasion I bought the following items from the store: six disposable aluminum roasting pans, six disposable aluminum pizza pans, twenty-four very small cans of sliced olives, and a huge variety and quantity of candy. These were all for the purpose of making ginger bread houses (the pizza pans were to put the houses on and to cans of olives were to suspend the pizza pans in the roasting pans which were to be filled with water to prevent ants from getting to them).

Upon reading this QuestionableContent, this troper's first thought was that the second panel would make a great set of NoodleImplements: "A family pack of toilet paper, a copy of ''WarAndPeace'', and a gun with a single bullet".
