NoodleIncident
#92694
Do not attempt to ask This Troper about the school carnival last year. It involved bounce houses, water from the drinking fountain, massive amounts of cotton candy, a Lady Gaga medley, and crying over a ferris wheel ride. Also, if you ask me about the rave dance the school had, I will tell you that it was a horrible dance involving pretzels, brownies, cookies, Guitar Hero, punk rockers, douche bags who wouldn't leave her alone, the Dropkick Murphys song "The State of Massachusetts", a pat-down, balloons, and humiliation at DDR.
#92695
The time I crashed into a puddle is my favourite one and when asked about it all I will say is "It was deceptively deep"
#92696
Has anyone ever responded to that with, well...?
#92697
This troper swears he remembers reading a strip related to the original Noodle Incident. According to it, it happened during and tell and it involved a relationship between the appearance of the brain, and the phrase use your noodle.
#92698
There ''is'' one strip where Calvin must do an assignment about the brain which includes the use of a model, and his solution is to some cooked spaghetti in a paper bag and pass it off as brains.
#92699
This Troper has an incident only involving himself, which he has told to his immediate family, two people in his high school homeroom, and the people in his Session of a Homestuck RP. The Incident is known as "The Time I Almost Got Ran Over By A Train". It involved the walk to an anime club, and that's about it. Oh, and a train!
#92700
This troper has an incident involving her mom, a evil packing box, and cleaning the garage. The world may never know.
#92701
Never will you know about the "Incident". Sufficient to say it involved a basket, a broken monitor, a lamp, several holes in the wall, a sword, a threat to call 911, several bags of mulch, two clothespins, and one very uncomfortable car ride.
#92702
...A sword? o_O Now i want to know...
#92703
This troper knows a girl who, when told a key phrase, will shout "THERE'S A STORY BEHIND THAT!!!" What the story is remains unknown.
#92704
This troper. "That time at the place behind the house." It involved lighters, a styrofoam cup, purple hair dye, three cellphones, some alcohol, a snake, and plastic wrap. Or, "The Pool," with again alcohol, lighters, pool noodles, marshmallows, balloons, and some very singed hair.
#92705
My English Teacher from senior year loved telling stories about his younger years. One of which was when he used to work at Blockbuster Video. He states that all movies shown on the TV had to be PG and under after the "PulpFiction Incident."
#92706
Never ask This Troper about the famous/infamous Barbecued Soup Incident. All I will say is that it involved a can of potato soup, a propane barbecue, a power drill, two extension cords, a rubber band, a condom, an open window and one very unfortunate passing seagull.
#92707
...Where does the condom come in at? 0_o *boggle*
#92708
Well, there was the Marshmallow incident in 6th grade... that was awkward indeed...
#92709
This troper's brother once referred to how his friends were all afraid of Frosted Flakes. He refused to explain the incident as to how this came into effect.
#92710
This troper and her best friend have the "can of chili" incident. We actually ''have'' told the story before, but we got so sick of telling it to people, we now simply refer to it in passing. Those who know us laugh... and everyone else wonders what's so funny about a can of chili, a wrench, a hammer, and a Swiss Army knife.
#92711
Didn't you explain this on the forum? You and your friend were trying to open up a can of chili because one night you two were hanging out and got hungry, but the thing was difficult to open because the can opener didn't work. So you guys went through a bunch of different tools, and finally your friend decided to get a hammer, which you thought was a joke and only later realized that he was serious, but the hammer still didn't work, only succeeding in getting chili on your clothes. Then finally your parents got home and opened it for you? Yeah, sometimes {{Noodle Incident}}s can be ruined.
#92712
Exactly. That's why we downgraded it from "funny story" to NoodleIncident--to stop its degredation further.
#92713
This troper and her father occasionally reference "The Kitchen Scale Incident", which involved a particularly badly received gift.
#92714
This troper likes to tell people "Once, I threw up on a stripper's shoes". The questions that follow are many and varied.
#92715
That seems reasonably self-explanatory. Alcohol-serving strip club, I'd assume. Perhaps involving being a lightweight, as to not have gotten cut off. That or food poisoning.
#92716
Yeah, but why was the stripper wearing ''shoes''?
#92717
Depending on the club, expecting a stripper to walk around barefoot is a little silly. Also, platform shoes are popular with strippers.
#92718
Ever heard the phrase "stripper heels"?
#92719
Doesn't it stop being a NoodleIncident as soon as there's an actual story behind it? This troper had a Berry-Berry Kix incident that started with vague claims of the psychoactive effects of Red #4, but eventually mutated into a series of stories after friends started bringing it to parties, concerts, clubs. Good times.
#92720
Every NoodleIncident has a story behind it. You just don't know (and likely aren't supposed to know) what it is.
#92721
This troper's church youth group has what is known as "the [=CiCi=]'s incident." Troper will not allow them to discuss it, and any allusions to said incident are immediately shushed. Our youth group has The kyle incident. Well lets just say it involved a bit of accidentall innuendo over a 3 minuite period and many reppressed laughs keep in mind he is 2 years older than me (I'm 12)he thought it ment dummy guess the word just guess.
#92722
this troper has caused her friend an insane fear of large cardboard boxes. So much so, when her mother had one she flipped out, checked to make sure she wasn't in her pajamas and then after much aloud debating (yes no, what ifs etc) opened the empty box. Much to the confusion of her mother and a statement that she needed dinner. Especially so she was sad it WAS empty.
#92723
Nobody this troper told ever found out what her "tragic accident involving an elevator and a turkey sandwich" was. ....because there wasn't one, of course.
#92724
Most of the accusations that this troper and her two best friends are in a three-way relationship (which we are NOT, for the millionth time) sprang from this one sleepover on New Years' that involved us, a futon, an energetic dog, and the host's father walking into the room at about six in the morning. And no, you pervs, we were asleep except for the dog that was licking this troper's face.
#92725
A common line between this troper and his buddy: "remember that time we killed the nintendog?"
#92726
Please share with us, I hate that thing as much as Mr. Resetti.
#92727
We still don't know how exactly it occurred, save that it was on the Bridge of Edlin. We ''think'' what happened was the Nintendog was standing on the a bridge piece just milliseconds before it was destroyed, meaning it fell off the screen before it could teleport to attack the camera. We have yet to replicate it, however, despite attempts.
#92728
I wonder if Resetti could be destroyed that way... or maybe by a Final Smash? >:D
#92729
One of this troper's brothers refers to an incident where he slept under the pool table at a friends house, but won't explain it.
#92730
In this troper's fanfics, no matter what fiction, there is a running gag of some unnamed NoodleIncident event that usually involves a string of odd events capped with "the bizarre and horrific circumstances behind the invention of the frozen-pudding-on-a-stick, the details of which are classified Top Secret by the United Nations."
#92731
This troper likes to make vague mention of an NoodleIncident in his fics as well (and in his original writing, for that matter), all having something to do with something unspeakable that happened prior to the events in Prague (with lines like "is this going to be anything like Prague?", "it's going to be Prague all over again", or "you don't remember why we can never go back to Prague, do you?"). Troper doesn't know why her picked Prague, although he has a hunch...
#92732
This troper has a friend that loves thes and immediately adapts to her noodle incident lead ins: #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Dude! You know what we should do- #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' NO. You ''know'' what happened the last time you did that. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' ... Bu- #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' NO. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I promise I won't set anything on fire this time! #QUOTE# And: #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' We should totally go to the balcony and- #QUOTE# '''Me:''' NO. NEVER AGAIN.
#92733
One of this troper's TeamFortress2 fanfictions has one. The Scout complains that the preceding events have been "their stupidest misadventure ever." The Engineer asks if it's stupider than the time they were vacationing in Las Vegas. No further explanation is given, but the Scout declares that the former story is indeed stupider than the Vegas Incident.
#92734
This troper's D&D group has a strange twist on this. We started a campaign in medias res, with the conceit that we'd all been hit by an uber spell that made us forget our adventures up to that point. The DM gave us each a list of things we remember, and odds and ends in our pockets to give us clues as to what we were questing for. Some things didn't quite link to the main plot though... #QUOTE#Most of us had seen each other naked. #QUOTE#Some of us remembered that Dwarven holy water was alcoholic. #QUOTE#There was a list in my Drow's pocket titled "Places the Humans Have Got Us Banned From" with "Temple of Moradin" written in all caps and triple underlined.
#92735
This squeamish troper sincerely wishes that they couldn't come up with an explanation... Did you figure out what really happened?
#92736
We still haven't figured out what happened, but we figure these things are linked, and we're not sure we want to know why.
#92737
The green-vomit incident. My housemates won't explain further.
#92738
This troper occasionally gets mail from the government, due to random things that are normal in Israel. Whenever he gets one, he says "Oh shit they found out about the cats." This has gotten to the point where his mother brought home a letter and said "The cats are pissed."
#92739
Mention "Kara's 24th Birthday" to This Troper's friends. No one will admit anything, beyond the fact that it ended with Kara demanding, and getting, everyone's cameras to erase the onboard memory.
#92740
Please don't ask about the New Year's Incident. Just... don't.
#92741
A comic this Troper writes has one. A character will say something to the lines of, "I wish we had a stove..." to which the main character responds "I said I was sorry!" No details necessary.
#92742
I have a real-life version of that. "MAN, I sure wish I had some SUPER GLUE. That SURE would be NICE, wouldn't it?" "I SAID I WAS SORRY!" At that point though, I was really only acting annoyed for laughs.
#92743
All me and my friend have to say about ours is "It had cherries in it! Oh god!" Speculation abounds.
#92744
Apparently This Troper's father did something with a red turban on Karaoke Night.
#92745
This troper will start laughing if someone mentions either Asatru and/or Christian Evangelists.
#92746
With an EvilLaugh, I hope.
#92747
This troper's college roommate was prone to talking in her sleep. She was convinced that what she said was this---that she said spectacularly embarrassing things that I kept secret for my own amusement. The truth, of course, is that my brain stops working pretty thoroughly by about midnight, and I honestly couldn't ''remember'' what she'd said the next morning.
#92748
This troper has been known to make these up when talking to friends. Generally the overall implication is murder.
#92749
This Troper's the same way. It's pretty much become a game now, one person mentions an obscure or distant region or place(Kamchatka and Somalia come up rather frequently), and the other builds off of it with a what happened there, in vague terms.
#92750
This troper has heard of the famed "General MacArthur" speech made by his roommate's friend about a NASCAR race during a road trip. Details are almost nonexistent, and yes, there are no mistakes in that last sentence.
#92751
This troper often says something akin to "I deny all allegations about the Chuck E. Cheez incident". It's made up.
#92752
In college, this troper had some...interesting friends. Some completely innocent actions led to this: My female friend comes down from her dorm room and stops to talk to my male friend in the lobby. I say, "Oh! You took off his pants." She says, "Yeah, I didn't think they were quite right for Mass." and walks out the door. As the door closes, the other girl in the lobby says, "She took off his PANTS??" It had not been until that moment that I realized what I'd said sounded wrong. Since this happened freshman year, this became an oft-referred to NoodleIncident, as well as the 4-layered explaination that had followed.
#92753
This troper remembers with an odd fondness the time with the marshmallows, the dimension-bending fog, the fire that couldn't be put out with water and the long session of praying to the moon god. Man that was a good night. Shame about my mate's eyebrows...
#92754
This troper and her siblings occasionally make up noodle incidents on the spot, mixing them in with allusions to real situations we've been in. The Kirky Hands incident is real. The Six Shots incident is not, though the airsoft lesbian incident is totally true. Herding Daisy scouts, happened. The seven-foot-tall mountain man incident, happened, but not like you think. (Soon I wish to add to my repertoire, courtesy of this page, the whole "I said I was sorry!" thing.)
#92755
This troper has three, with various repeated lines about them: #QUOTE# The Golden Syrup Incident - "I don't eat that stuff anymore" #QUOTE# The (unrelated) Sugar Rush Incident - "We said we weren't gonna talk about ''{{Alien}}''" #QUOTE# The Fenwicks Incident - "WHAT HAPPENED IN FENWICKS?!?!?!" - This one is the most frustrating for people as myself, the staff and one other person are the only ones who truly know why I'm not allowed back in the furniture department
#92756
Among this troper's circle of friends, the Eighth Grade DeathNote Incident, while not quite as absurd as other Noodle Incidents tend to be, was still traumatizing and humiliating enough to, these days, only be referred to in passing.
#92757
When writing the backstory to a tabletop RP character who had been a whore before she became a vampire hunter (seriously), this troper managed to break many people over the one line "And then there was the thing with the jam merchant but we'll skip that one."
#92758
This troper, when offered an invitation to travel to someplace he doesn't particularly want to go by an Internet person who overestimates degree of friendship, usually says "I'd love to, but I'd rather not set foot in [state/country] again after that unfortunate incident a few years back. She said she was 18..." No such incident happened (except for that one girl in Rhode Island).
#92759
This troper doesn't want to go into detail about this one incident. It involved a sleepover, my friends, my friend's sister and HER friends, a bush and a couple flashlights in the darkness.
#92760
Apparently my high school shop teacher still talks about my little circular saw incident. In my defense, I didn't know that the wood had been compromised, and that the saw was loose. Although he seems to be largely ignoring the Pine-Sol tiles incident...
#92761
Didn't happen to me, but from notalwaysright.com - “SON, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO ME WHEN YOU EAT BAGELS! YOU KNOW IT BRINGS BAD MEMORIES!�
#92762
This troper now refers to a moment in her middle school career as the Raincloud incident, which caused the fire department to be called to the school, 2 friends to be suspended, a penis drawn on the school wall, a boys homosexual tendencies to come into the light, and an entire school to be soaked. It was a fun day. ;3
#92763
This troper and her friend have an odd one. Man that was a fun sleepover, what with the [=IMing=] and the catfights and the 'coming out'. Of course that dude will never ever see me again without seeing a very embarrassed lady in a bathrobe who's just been outed. (Ironically enough, one thing that was joked about was that me and the friend were bisexual- I actually am, and she's questioning...)
#92764
This Troper had a made up NoodleIncident that soon branched off into others, including a famous one that prompted the first quote on my page, but that actually happened... anyway the original fake one was "Jeez, this is like that time with the spork and that fucking cat," which lead to many questions. Another one was the "Time with the credit card, that hobo and Jasmine," sadly a girl I knew was named Jasmine and promptly told me to stop making the joke... that third one was actually with a friend who played along (note him and I are already known for our various antics), I said "Man, I wish we still had that remote," then he screams, "Dude, that guy is still in a coma! And don't you still get mail from his daughter," my reply is VisibleSilence and a quick remorseful nod. The real incident I won't talk about, but it involved the fire department and a school nearly being burned down... all my fault!
#92765
This Troper and his friends will never forget the chicken. Oh no. Or the business with the three doors and the priests.
#92766
In this troper's fanfic, the protangonist has a scar on her left hand from "a freak zucchini accident" when she was six, which she refuses to talk about, meaning it's even more traumatic than the story she HAS told about seeing her childhood hero die on live television.
#92767
In this troper's story, one of the two main characters has no fingerprints. His excuse for this is 'accidents happen.' But then again, Zed (aformentioned character) doesn't give away alot of things. Including why his face is quite so horribly scarred.
#92768
The only way this Troper can get her cousin to shut up is to offhandedly mention, "The casserole incident." Works like a charm.
#92769
"Stop doing that. It reminds me of that thing with the orphans, and I do not want those images in my mind again"
#92770
This troper has a scar on her leg from an incident involving a broken soap dish and a malfunctioning shower head. I will say no more about it.
#92771
This troper occasionally begins telling his wife the story of what happened at Citibank when he was two years old and his mom was 9 months pregnant. He purposely never gets past that introduction before "forgetting". She still hasn't had the opportunity to ask his mom about it...
#92772
This Troper has the "shower gel" incident... I've said too much.
#92773
This troper and her friend have one, known as the cicada shell/electric guitar incident, involving me, her, her brother, the cicada shell collection and her brother's electric guitar. I have forbidden her to ever, ever, explain it. Although it did raise several questions about her brother's relationship with his electric guitar...
#92774
Of course, she did. Not to everyone, thankfully... At least, I don't think she did...
#92775
My brother and I have a RunningGag whenever I'm asked to watch over the barbecue: He always brings up "Fireball Incident Number (1-5)", to which I respond "That NEVER happened! Besides, the firemen got there in time/nobody sued that time/property damages were minimal/It WAS NOT visible from orbit, the media always lies!" Which confuses the hell out of my other brother, who has no idea what it is I'm so vehemently denying. Of course, none of this really happened, the one time the barbecue DID catch on fire, I wasn't involved. Swear to it.
#92776
In refrence to a friend: "That incident with Joey's Sister." I won't say too much besides the fact it ended with the aforementioned friend being run out of town.
#92777
This troper sometimes casually refers to "the day I became like this". What was that day? I'm telling you.
#92778
The day you were born?
#92779
This troper also makes ordinary NoodleIncident type happenings seem to imply murder. Though there's no excuse for "the one time with the chisels and the root beer", or "the one time with the guy wrapped in tinfoil". Or "the time with the pot smoke and the fan and the John [=McCain sign=]". (I also adore doing this in fiction-- whether it's oblique mentions to a serial killer's "one time in Georgia", or to a vampire's "fencing scar incident", which apparently involved two very handsome students, one very ugly but very charming mensur duelist, and silver salts.)
#92780
Ask a friend of mine about "two kisses and a Diet Coke candy".
#92781
This Troper and his best friend have the 'November 12th incident'. All we ever explain is that it involved alcoholic vomit, a lit cig and a barrel of gasoline.
#92782
"Remember, remember the 12th of November?"
#92783
This troper has a friend who she's pretty sure ''still'' visibly shudders at mentions of the "Chilling Tree Incident".
#92784
When me and my friends reached the AdvancingWallOfDoom level in NewSuperMarioBrosWii, my comment was "holy fuck, it's Yog-Sothoth again!" My friends were somewhat confused by that immediate identification, so I spent the rest of the level dropping vague, tantalizing hints regarding our previous encounter.
#92785
This troper is terrified of E.T., and all I can say is it involved chocolate, backpacks, and halways.
#92786
This troper has the thing with the bucket, the shopping channel and the pizza guy and "That Halloween Party With That Girl's Creepy Mum And The Dare"
#92787
This troper no longer explains why, when confronted with a rubber chicken, she runs off screaming "Noooo! My poor solar plexus!"
#92788
Whenever something bad happens in This Tropette's {{Nakama}}, someone will inevitably say, "Well, it's not as bad as The Kangaroo Porn Incident." After a moment of quiet introspection, everyone will shudder and nod. ''Nothing'' is as bad as Kangaroo Porn.
#92789
Happened to a friend: all I heard was that it involved a stolen paddle, climbing a tree and ended with two people falling into a river onto a duck.
#92790
This troper once made an apple explode. She answers all questions about it (said question usually being, "How did you explode an APPLE?") with "I just did."
#92791
An experience with this same troper, she is in a roleplay where two character's adventures together are littered with Noodle Incidents. Her personal favorite went like this: #QUOTE#'''Jun:''' Like that time where you got stuck in that bush, and then you took off your- #QUOTE# '''Lucas:''' We promised never to speak of that again.
#92792
This troper likes to LARP and her group of [=LARPing=] friends has a "game-we-do-not-speak-of". It went terribly. That's all.
#92793
It's a running gag with this troper's D&D characters that every character he plays is no longer welcome in Waterdeep, Greyhawk, or whatever the largest city in the campaign world is that we're not currently in. I've found [=DMs=] go out of their way to avoid going to that city so they won't have to explain what exactly happened.
#92794
This troper and a couple of friends have "The Duct Tape Incident". Someone cried, many people were blamed, there was yelling and sneaking around. It's great.
#92795
This troper's family have a few involving her brother. Most of these involve the way he used to talk, but he did once set the toaster on fire...
#92796
This troper's friends have a couple. There's the drink machine named Vladimir, "She didn't want the competition," the boxes in the woods, The wall scrolls guy, and the poop stick. *shudder*
#92797
This Troper witnessed something just plain weird happen in ''[=LittleBigPlanet=]'' that has never happened since. It involved a Rhythmic Logic device, six Global Water Objects, recursive Emitters (capture the Emitter, set the original to emit the captured one, lather rinse repeat), and an unreal number of Level Keys. Good thing I had a profile backup, because the Complex Shapes Thermo hated me from that day forward until I reloaded the backup... it wouldn't even let me make a ''circle'' in Online Create. actually made it up, but that's what an LBP NoodleIncident would probably sound like.
#92798
In this troper D&D table it's a common thing to be banned from every city we step in, by any reasons. Oh, I remember that time with the elastic band, the drow, the melon and the nude Pelor Paladin running in circles (literally).... Or that time in Mecanus with the drunken Druid and lots of robots.... oh good times.
#92799
I always have fun mentioning the Christmas when the turkey exploded. :)
#92800
Among my group of friends and myself, there is the "Hitler Incident," which sounds far worse than it really is, but, yes, it is ''that'' Hitler.
#92801
Any mention of the Green Jell-o Bubble around my family is bound to induce involuntary gagging.
#92802
There's a reason This Troper is no longer allowed to take Nyquil, and the same for her brother not being allowed Benadryll.
#92803
For this troper, it's more of a ''Refried Beans Incident'' than a Noodle Incident. I'd rather not talk about it...
#92804
Occasionally, though thankfully not frequently anymore, this troper's 7th grade April Fool's Day Incident will be brought up. People who have known this troper since 7th grade tend to get frusterated at this troper for refusing to explain what happened.
#92805
This Troper has a plethora of NoodleIncident stories:
#92806
I was once attacked by a rotisserie. That cost the company I was working for almost $25,000US and got me transferred to a different department with a broken hand.
#92807
I was once thrown out of a strip club for Dropping a Bridget on the owner whilst onstage. In costume, heels and goth makeup. Apparently, he didn't take to the PecFlex.
#92808
There's the incident where I attempted to stay awake as long as possible and wound up being assaulted by my neighbor with a rubber hose after four days. I burst into their house (we were pretty good friends) whilst wearing a Little Bo Peep costume (I am male) and screaming gibberish. No alcohol was involved.
#92809
There's the "Party with the Pagans" incident. Combine this trope, WhatDidIDoLastNight, my deck of Tarot cards, about 50 naked people, a bonfire and tons of alcohol.
#92810
I'd give more examples, but they just get more salacious. Just...please don't ask me about the bus to Buffalo. 'kay?
#92811
Oh, give more examples, ''please'' give more examples, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. And how the hell did a rotisserie attack you?
#92812
This troper has the ''infamous'' "Social Worker" incident. To this day (5+ years later), he refuses to talk about it, except mention it involved a social worker, the school principal, a group of obnoxious students and a computer.
#92813
Whenever someone asks This Troper why his Nintendo DS is broken in two pieces (Well hanging by a literal thread) he tells them it happened during, and because of, an opera that was going on.
#92814
When This Troper mentioned that she had had a Noodle Incident (here it would be referred to as "PercyJackson"). Before she could explain herself, her friend instantly asked "Pool or pasta?", then proceeded to outline possible situations such as wild pool parties or a romantic dinner date with a guy friend. This in turn has become its own NoodleIncident, as one only has to point out that something is a pool or pasta noodle to have us laughing.
#92815
The professor in my Shakespeare class was passing out lifesavers to everyone. He put one in his mouth, then looked disgusted, walking out of the room just to spit it out. 'That's the second grossest thing I've ever tasted,' he said. 'What's the first?' I asked. He laughed and said he would leave it to my imagination.
#92816
This troper and his friend have built up a whole routine based on this, given my propensity for poorly thought out plans: #QUOTE#Me: I have a cunning plan... #QUOTE#Friend: No. You remember what happened last time. #QUOTE#Me: Oh, come on. It wasn't ''that'' bad. #QUOTE#Friend: You almost set my house on fire! #QUOTE#Me: Only like twice! Am I branded for life? Besides, I managed to get us that pizza. #QUOTE#Friend: By threatening to eat my dog! #QUOTE#And so forth.
#92817
This Troper has a few, all of which genuinely happened:
#92818
The time I exploded a cucumber. No explosives, high pressure apparatus or electrical equipment was involved. Man, the college was picking cucumber seeds out of the woodwork in the physics lab for ''months''.
#92819
For those wondering how I managed that, all I'll say is I used a small loaf of rye bread, 50g leerdammer cheese, a clamp stand and a relatively short length of steel.
#92820
There was one incident involving two unsuccessful muggers, a high-voltage discharge, and a contemporaneous power outage covering several blocks that I had nothing to do with. Honest.
#92821
The thing with the John Belushi impersonator coming out, my girlfriend, certain th... y'know, lets just say that by the end of it all, I swore to sautee his genitalia and feed them to him if he came round again, and leave it at that. Maybe an inversion of the trope?
#92822
This troper has a scar in her eyebrow since the age of 6. She always avoids the story behind it, except when bothering one of her friends. #QUOTE#Troper: Come on, try to guess where I got my scar. #QUOTE#Friend: Let me see... I imagine you as a little kid, running from two bigger boys, then tripping on a log, cutting open your eyebrow and vowing revenge with your face covered in blood... #QUOTE#Troper: This is strangely... accurately... #QUOTE#Friend: YEEEEES I GOT IT RIGHT #QUOTE#Troper: WRONG. Mwahahahahahah! #QUOTE#Friend: You're so mean.
#92823
This Troper has several kindergarten incidents that qualify for this status. One of which involved a fly, a fruit pie, and a dirty park bench. He refuses to elaborate.
#92824
The ninga incident. It involves pool noodles.
#92825
This Troper and some friends went on a band trip once, and it was there that "The Incident" occured.
#92826
The Washington D.C. trip taken by several of my classmates is a gigantic NoodleIncident. All I have been able to glean is something about a group of boys ordering takeout at three in the morning, a four-hour plane delay, and the line "(Teacher's name), DJ WANTS YOU!". I ask, and all I get is: #QUOTE# Me: What happened on the D.C. trip? #QUOTE# Friend: *shudders* What happened on the D.C trip ''stays'' on the D.C trip. #QUOTE# Me: WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME!?!
#92827
This troper, when he was at University, managed to rack up so many Noodle Incidents with his two dorm mates in a year and a half that we took the time to write them all out on a sheet of paper that we taped to our fridge, and was dubbed "The List". It had one rule - if it's on "The List," it's not a topic for conversation. And in the following months, we managed to add more incidents to it. Quite amazing for three people who enjoyed a good night in more than a good night out.
#92828
I will never answer questions about the James Dean Incident. Lets just say it involved a leather jacket, some hair gel, "fangirls", a fan boy, a yaoi drawing, a really stupid pun and lots of police.
#92829
I don't care how funny my group mates find it, how badly they want to share the tape, or how badly my friends want to know; I am NEVER discussing the French King Cake Project with ANYONE besides my parents, who already know, and I REFUSE to make anymore copies of the video. Asking about it will result in denial and crying.
#92830
The Scout Corps where I am a member rents a basement in a block of rental apartments, in which we have our meetings and such. In the kitchen of said basement, there are a whole shitload of plastic mugs in a few different colors, that people use for drinking coffee or water during meetings. You DO NOT use the yellow ones! For a long time, the younger members (such as myself) didn't know why, we only knew that you are to avoid the yellow mugs at any cost. And then they told us why.
#92831
This troper's D&D game started with his fighter and another player's warlock having known each other and adventured together for some time. To reinforce this, we occasionally remind each other of "old adventures", which supposedly occured before the campaign started. They're purely improvised, and kept light on details - not even we players know exactly what happened in Goroth, but it started with the fighter being overconfident, and ended very messily.
#92832
This Troper received the following e-mail while at university. He is ''still'' curious. #QUOTE#To: [the entire biology, chemistry, physics, and pharmacology departments]\\ From: [Professor]\\ Subject: The Chemistry of Fireworks\\ Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 09:07:27 + 0000\\ \\ I would like to apologise to all those people who attended The Chemistry of Fireworks lecture yesterday. I take full responsibility for the inconvenience caused, and hope things can return to normal in two weeks' time, with [Staff Member]'s lecture on forensic chemistry, which definitely will not contain any flashes or bangs.\\ \\ Once again, many apologies.\\ \\ [Professor]
#92833
For whatever reason, this troper's family tends to acquire noodle incidents related to specific restaurants. Just ask my dad about Burger King, or my mom about that one time at Chili's...
#92834
This Troper loves joking about this kind of thing, but I genuinely have one: The Martin Luther King Incident.
#92835
When I see a funny sign concerning regulations, I like to ponder why it was put up, for example, the sign at my college that forbids boating in the nearby pond, or the (NSFW) clear, detailed synopsis, in five -inch letters, of my state's indecent exposure laws, posted on the side of the clerk's table at a local adult store.
#92836
This troper has the "Toaster Incident." My brother still refuses to allow me within fifteen feet of the toaster if I'm wearing heels or holding anything. At all.
#92837
The exploding hot chocolate incident.
#92838
This Troper and his friend have real-life one: #QUOTE# '''Me:''' You know, I'm glad we're not on a bus to Massachusetts right now. #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' For the last time, I'm sorry! #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was? #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' I thought I was being funny. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Not everyone enjoys your sense of humor. #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' But I thought everyone liked- #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Just because its funny on the internet doesn't mean that its funny on a crowded bus.
#92839
This Troper has one that doesn't really have a name beyond sometimes being referred to as The Trenchcoat Incident by her best friend. It's why he associates the smell of leather with warm comfort and Christmas, is the genesis of our "Wendy's washes away all sins" jokes, and is why neither of us is ever allowed back to the public pool in our town. There's a story behind it, it's just infinitely funnier without context.
#92840
Getting initiated into certain groups can involve Spirit missions, which often turn into these. The troper knows of one from his own group which is only referred to as "when (name removed) broke his collar bone," and my own which started as a standard kidnapping attempt, but ended many hours later 45 miles away in a farm town at 2 A.M. explaining to the police why I was leaping into the bed of a speeding truck from an abandoned gas station. It's not nearly as bad as the one that happened the next semester, which was only a problem because they tried it on campus in broad daylight while still in uniform. We usually refer to it by naming one of two people from that initiation class who, ironically, weren't even there because they were waiting to enact another part of the plan, as they were the only licensed pilots on the team.
#92841
Anyone asking how my driving lessons with my mom are going is told, "Oh, fine. Well, except for that one incident with the one-lane bridge, the big white truck, and the Elvis mailbox..."
#92842
This troper has several different Gerbil Incidents. There's "the one at New Year's", "the skydiving one", "the one with the bathtub", and "the one in the shower". The last two are totally different things in two totally different bathrooms. Curiously, they all involve the exact same gerbil.
#92843
And then there's the IHOP incident. We do not talk about the IHOP on Washington Road.
#92844
Finally, a NoodleIncident from my roleplay that's only a NoodleIncident to the characters (and my partner, who was not really familiar with the Final Fantasy games). "Reno's not going. As soon as I mentioned space travel, he kind of freaked out, something about a meteor and somebody's mother..."
#92845
Attempts to avoid studying for a Chem II exam (not to mention more energy drinks than necessary) led to a Noodle Incident for this troper and her friends. It involved lotto tickets, a debate about whether or not ducks are witches, a sandbox, a potato, lighter fluid, a blue plastic tub, a pooper scooper and an evergreen tree. Needless to say, people are quite confused when we mention these things, but we refuse to admit most of the incident even happened. And no one ever found the plastic tub, so they can't prove we did anything.
#92846
This Troper has what is known only as "The Clown Incident." All he will reveal is that he will never step foot in a place with Lazer Tag ever again. Plus, he is now terrified of all clowns. In the world.
#92847
This troper joined his school in the middle of term, and everyone in theatre class was whispering about the "music room incident". I went around not knowing what this referred to until a while later. Apparently, one of the theatre students was caught making out with a music student in, where else, the music room (I go to an arts school). The teacher who caught them said "your lips are meant for playing the tuba, not for kissing". HilariousInHindsight is that the music student was a trombonist.
#92848
Original Poster here, suddenly remembered his friend's friend had an inversion of this trope. This guy had to do a skit. The skit ''explained how the original NoodleIncident happened!'' It completely ruined it. This Troper admitted;y doesn't know how this guy thought it happened, he wasn't there.
#92849
I ''always'' reference the "Drinkbottle" incident. It involved Facebook, a message, two of my friends that are a couple, one of the couple's long-gone online boyfriend, my tendency to verbally HostageSpiritLink, a frozen drinkbottle, nervous knee-jerk reactions, hammer-throwing and screaming. If I start to display signs of nervousness, my friends tend to take anything out of my hands. NoodleIncident indeed.
#92850
Remember that time as a kid, when you walked in on your parents having sex? We will never speak of that incident again.
#92851
There was this one incident with my mom, in college... She didn't tell me, actually.
#92852
When this troper, for his 11th Birthday earlier this year, started talking about the rolling pin incident. For the record, it involved our kitchen, some ranch dipping sauce, an episode of {{Pokemon}}, lots of bananas, the internet, a carrot, a Wobbuffet Pokemon toy, The Porn Channel, and finally a rolling pin. What happened My mom was making pizza in the kitchen when suddenly an EAS test (Child Abduction Emergency, to be exact), came on while I was watching Pokemon. My mom was so freaked out she threw the rolling pin up in the air causing it to knock down my favorite kitchen statue. I was so pissed I tried throwing my Wobbuffet action figure at the wall in pure anger. The EAS was still going on so I decided to change the channel to a random number. That number that came on the television was The Porn Channel, which was convieniently showing a man masturbating. You can probaly guess what happened with the carrots, the bananas and the ranch. Yeah. But I'll tell you anyway. My mom tried giving me "The Talk", which I had learned a year prior to the incident. She demostrated male masturbstion which involved her squezzing a banana so all of the mush went to the top. She also demonstrated by cutting a carrot's [[DoubleEntendre head in half ind filling it with ranch dressing and showed me some pictures on a dirty website.]] I never looked at Bananas the same way again...
#92853
...Good God.
#92854
A sentence that I will hopefully never hear again is "remember the bus and the screaming?"
#92855
This is the troper who posted the rolling pan incident. Last year my 5th grade class (Yes, this troper recently turned eleven) went to the Castillo de Saint Augustine and there was born the infamous "Squirrel Incident" Which involved Lesbionic graffiti, the cops being called TWICE, A drawing (and a poorly drawn one at that) of a penis and vagina, and 2 Squirrels "Interacting". Also never talk about the Kohl's flyer STD incident with me or my mother around. There is also the Toyota Corolla incident, The meatballs incident which involved me as a stupid little kid, some dog crap and an old lady, The phone incident, The 2 girls 1 cup incident, which involved me, an internet {{Troll}}, and my friend Seamus, the Vagina on Monitor incident, Similar to the 2 girls 1 cup incident but only 10x worst, the Swap.avi incident(I managed to survive 30 minutes), the Kool-Aid incident which involved the sweet old lady up the street, some worms and some sour Kool-Aid. The Chisame x Misora incident, The Mah Diary incident which involved a horribly homely diary full of hidden cigarettes and over 300 pages of unnerving nonsensical gibberish crap all written in leetspeak:
#92856
For example:
#92857
I was ridin mah bacicle (sic) when @&ik $^@ IMMA FIRIN MAH CANON! So i herd u liek mudkipz JOEYS RATTATAS IN TEH TOP PERCENTAGE OF RATTATAS PIKACHU TEH HORN etc.
#92858
The Diary incident involved a screwed up [=McDonald's=] order, a ditch, and a picture of what {{Clannad}} Afterstory 14 should've looked like. The afterstory involved a hard scatological threesome involving Nagisa, Tomoya, and AKIO. The Publix Hoagie incident(s) which has happened more than once, the {{House of Payne}} incident,(My computer was glitched for weeks because of this.) The invisible Mama Mirabelle Humping incident, (See the Peppa Pig incident.) the Peppa pig incident which involved me accidently viewing Shota on an untrusted website, and finally the infamous Cool Whip incident which is ten times worst than the rolling pan incident and the worst part of it is, I am still currently facing complications due to it. It involved my Preyas bakugan ball, maggots, pliers, blueberries, scones and Cool Whip. I will say no more. *shudders*
#92859
this troper's friend likes to mess with the therapists his parents send him to. he invented a noodle incident involving catsup, a hamster, a bowling ball and math homework.
#92860
During what was, mercifully, my last year of summer camp, I had invoked the hatred of a nine-year old girl. It reached the point where one of her friends gave an accusation that had her father speaking to the counselors. While they did discuss it with me before ultimately shrugging it off, neither of them told me what it was.
#92861
Every year at my high school, the seniors take a trip to the nearby Disneyland. To prevent us from acting up, the teachers told us a scare story about a misbehaving student. We never found put what happened, but apparently, he didn't walk during graduation, and he had to spend the whole twelve hours or so in the bus they rode there.
#92862
Also, a family friend has one: "Did you know that bunnies can scream?"
#92863
This Troper has a story involving a frying pan, the most ammonium perchlorate we could legally purchase, and 2 hours to use it up before a new bylaw came into effect. But you won't get to hear it.
#92864
This troper has the Uniform Debate Incident, which invovled a petition, nail polish and our English teacher trying to avoid us for a couple of days afterwards. I still think he's kind of shocked that four supposedly quiet teenage girls can be that loud.
#92865
This Troper has two incidents:
#92866
"The Whole Enchilada" Incident happened in 3rd grade. My entire class teased me about it for 3 years until I transferred to a new school for 7th, and everyone ''still'' thinks I did it to get out of gym class, even though I didn't.
#92867
Never bring up "the Valentine's chocolate and the steak knives" around my family OR the neighbors. I '''said''' I was sorry, and besides, it was totally my sister's fault in the first place.
#92868
One needs only say the words "dalmatian puppy" to send this Troper into a fit of giggles and this Troper's older brother into a sulk. Subverted, because I will usually tell the whole story because it's so funny (to me, at least).
#92869
I have several of these. Like the time I got chased out of the house by a goat, for example...
#92870
I was once asked by a friend "Hey, why isn't X (another friend) on MSN?". For some reason, I decided to tell her "Well, he was, earlier (this was true), but not since... that THING... happened..." When this peaked her curiosity, I just adamantly refused to elaborate, claiming that we had all been sworn to silence. She even went so far as to inquire witha third friend, who ''picked up on the joke'' and ''also'' refused to tell her! Now she is going out of her mind trying to find out what could happen to scare a big, adult, computer-savvy man off MSN forever...
#92871
This troper is the subject of countless queries with "grilled cheese" as the subject. You really don't want to know.
#92872
The 'food court video', which starts with the line "[friend], why did you take it off", and ends with "automatic taco launching machine and what am I saying? stop recording!" The subject of the video? My friends refusal to ride a certain roller coaster.
#92873
How exactly did that scrape get on the old Camry? Well, it wasn't ''exactly'' a curbstone, but no one really needs to know. Besides, we sold the car three years ago and I can't afford the place anymore.
#92874
There is always an awkward silence if This Troper or one of his friend's mentions "The Blog". All you need to know is that SOMEBODY ALMOST WENT TO JAIL. Nuff said.
#92875
Any time this troper's little sister wants him to do something for her, this exchange happens: #QUOTE#'''Troper:''' Remember that dent I got on the back of my car that Mom and Dad don't know about? #QUOTE#'''Little Sister:'''...(Walks away.)
#92876
This Troper has a few incidents of his own, which I actually don't mind telling the full story, but find it to be much more amusing to let the listener guess the context. These involve "The Charmander Incident" (which may have contributed to my friend's intense fear of both dolls and homosexuals), "[Person]'s Cousin" (which involved a glass of water, KingdomHearts, and a 10-year-old girl doing things she shouldn't be doing until she's at least 21), "The Clock Store Dream" (where I didn't realize what I was doing to that poor Pikachu until that girl started laughing at me), and "ThePowerOfLove" (which included a grocery store, a single bullet, an extremely AxCrazy psycho, and a very distraught virgin). There are also several that start with me expressing my disdain for a certain church in town, and when questioned about it, my response varies depending on the incident I recalled at that moment, including...
#92877
"Let's just say I'm related to a serial killer in the making. Honestly, how did they not see the freaking knife?!"
#92878
"Did you ever notice that green stain on the floor on the left side of the building that never seemed to come off? Well..."
#92879
"Have you ever been strapped to a chair while a crazy priest slapped you in the forehead repeatedly? I still wonder what the hell the congregation was chanting in the background..."
#92880
"A weekend in late November. I ended up walking out of there soaking wet, with left shoulder pains and the link to a cute girl's Myspace page."
#92881
All in all, I don't exactly have the best experiences with the Catholic church. Let's just say I'm never stepping inside of one again and leave it at that.
#92882
I was telling my freind a story, when another came by, all he heard was "...so, you believed me about the muffin mug, but not the evil spying on you fly?" He still doesn't know...
#92883
This Troper will forever refer an event known as the 'Trip From the Bookstore From Heck', but know this, it involved argueing, several cups of water, his mom thinking she saw the 'devils eyes', his adult sister who acts like a rebelious teen, and a mentally challenged child.
#92884
"Remember that time in the Kitchen?" "......What Kitchen?" Will send this troper and her Best friend in hysterics but will cause everyone else to ask questions.Honestly, it was just us both tripping towards each other at the same time and nearly earning myself an entry on the TroperTales AccidentalKiss page.... But we SWORE never to speak of it to any friend.
#92885
And then there was "That time in my living room with my niece, various snacks, soda and Tivo" Which will cause this troper and her best friend to look at each other nervously and start a yelling match about never mentioning it again. Ever. It's far too embarrassing and ridiculous. And no, I'm not even going to tell the internet about THAT one.
#92886
I have a couple.
#92887
"The Fake Nails Incident" with my best friend. It was so horrible, I vowed never to let her glue stuff to me ever again.
#92888
"That Time On the Bus Where I Bit Liza". It's been brought up recently. #QUOTE# Me: IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO. LET. IT. GO!
#92889
"The Science Expiriments at Summer Camp Incident"
#92890
My boyfriend has one that we refer to as That Time In Michigan with the Scientologists.
#92891
This troper's brother was part of one. Essentially, it involved a teacher, a projector, and a porno tape. Do the math.
#92892
The bunny, it was a stuffed bunny. that is all I will say. Enjoy your entirely wrong assumptions and Squick
#92893
This troper had her {{Naruto}} RP character Yukiko use this. It was her team's first mission to pick up a crate of noodles and take them to Ichiraku's. The civilian part of her clan makes a living with funerals. #QUOTE#'''Yukiko''': I've already witnessed a funeral where they served noodles. Was a cook from a noodle kiosk. #QUOTE#... #QUOTE#'''Yukiko''': Then let's go. I'd say we'd stay on the ground... there are stories about noodle incidents... #QUOTE#... #QUOTE#'''Yukiko''': There are people who would kill for noodles...
#92894
This troper has a "toilet seat incident".
#92895
this troper is rather accident prone. This manifests itself in P.E classes at school. To date, she has been injured by every piece of sports equipment at her school- yes all of them. even the basket ball ''hoops''. It's a long, painful story...
#92896
In addition to the 'basketball hoop fiasco', as her class dubbed it, there's also the 'rope swing issue', which involves a tree, a skateboard, a rope swing,a large , angry raccoon, and a Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD.
#92897
This Troper and his friends have the phrase "Just like that night with Riku". We heard it from a Kingdom Hearts Abridged Series. It's interchangable with "That's what she said"
#92898
People in my circle of friends will often reference "the Tenby trip", a group holiday that five of us took. After a while, when out friends' opinions of us had dropped sufficiently, we decided that What Happens In Tenby Stays in Tenby" and it has since become one of these for those in the know. We also use it jokingly, to reference things that never actually happened, purely because for all a lot of people know, it could, and very well might, have happened in Tenby.
#92899
For this Troper, he has the Six Thirty Underwear Incident. I will never elaborate on the subject and you can't make me.
#92900
The Cheese Incident of '05. There was cheese. Lots of it.
#92901
This troper's tabletop RPG group have the 'Scotland Incident' for our After the Bomb campaign. All we know is that it started with my DukeNukem expy character saying the words, "Hey guys, watch this!" and ended with out truck stripped of its armour plating, our entire team of nutso mercenaries slightly traumatised and a hasty flight south to London.
#92902
It recently transpired it also involved a fuel refinery (NOT our fault!) an ammo dump (totally our fault) and a police station (Yeah, my character's fault...)
#92903
This trope's noodle incident is what we call "the tar incident". All I'm aloud to say is in involved a 5 galleon bucket of tar, fireworks, three guys the age of eighteen, and a miniature Trebuchet, a very large rubber band poorly timed icy and a rather distraught pelican family. all of this resulted in me coming back without my right sleeve, another head to toe in white ash, the third missing his left shoe and a phone tower on fire on the horizon. we have never told anyone the middle because we always wanted our own privet noodle incident so we decided to keep the details secret and only when all three of us had wives would we revel what happened to our wives, who likely will not care.
#92904
I'll always remember the first day of July 2007. It involved an unopened can of Diet Coke, welding rods, a hunt for a missing Nintendo DS, and it all ended with my aunt hitting me in the head with a freshly killed chicken. It was THAT weird, people.
#92905
There are however, a couple details I'm willing to reveal. Anyone care to know?
#92906
Yes please.
#92907
Me. My best friend. Field trip. Lever. Sour cream. 30 kids screaming. The rest is gonna be left up to your imagination.
#92908
There's two that always seem to come up in my writing - The Pikachu Incident (involving an unfortunate mishap with an attempt at VoluntaryShapeshifting), and the (unrelated) {{Kirby}} Incident. In real life, there's the Cotton Candy Incident, which involved some rather graphic SlashFic, and which I have never explained beyond that to ''anyone''. Anyone want a couple of other details?
#92909
Eh, sure, why not?
#92910
Okay then. The Pikachu Incident had someone being turned into Pikachu by accident and not fully trusting the one who did it any more, the Kirby Incident led to someone throwing out a GBA Game Pak for ''Kirby - Nightmare in Dreamland'', and the Cotton Candy Incident... what the hell, I'll just explaing the whole thing. I was browsing around FanFiction.net, reading some Sonic 'fics, and found something... odd. It started out just being Sonic and Amy having a cotton candy-eating contest and quickly turned into mindless shipping. The summary mentioned a few terms I was not familiar with at the time, which is why I was stupid enough to click it. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, like watching a car accident take place. I clicked the "lemonized version" that had the bit that was cencored in what I found the first time, I'm not even sure why I did, and... well, that was my first expiriance involving RuleThirtyFour that I can remember. The curious may look up M-rated Sonic fanfics containing the words "cotton candy".
#92911
Invoked by this troper: when he was called into the dean's office on a non-discipline-related-matter, the first words out of his mouth were "This isn't about the NoodleIncident, is it?" Sadly, none of the staff were CalvinAndHobbes fans.
#92912
I'm not allowed back to Kennedy Space Center after the incident with the Space Shuttle and the {{Playstation}}. really. Though whatever one could get up to with those would be AWESOME.
#92913
Of course, a real one would be why I pass on alcohol now. The Pizza Incident should never happen again.
#92914
One of the best stories that I or anyone else has ever heard belongs to my friend D. and involves nuclear magnetic resonance and body piercings. It was distinctly X-rated, although not on purpose.
#92915
This troper was on site frequents, Neoseeker, and read this. None of us knows the answer, but I felt this was far too funny to pass up sharing: "So after a track meet today I walk into my dorm about 40 minutes ago to see the most wtf thing I've seen in a while...My roomate had set up a small table in the middle of the room. There was a chair on both sides of the table, and on one chair was a plush of this (link to Perry/Agent P)...but that's not it. There was a bottle of honey in the center of the table. He said "yeah...don't ask" and told me he'd need the room to himself at 7-8 or 9. Luckily I was going to be gone will 10..."
#92916
This updated part just adds to comedy level of it: "Ok, so I've returned to my dorm room. No one is here, the plush has a Home Depot apron on and is lying on the chair on its face. There is a KFC box in the trashcan and a half-eaten biscuit on the table. The room smells weird, probably the KFC."
#92917
This troper once knew a female friend (who happens to be TallDarkAndBishoujo) who went through several boyfriends, never having a permanent relationship. Once I went out on a friendly date with her, and asked about what went wrong with those old boyfriends, and she refused to tell, ''especially'' the last one (which was about 5 years ago), making me wonder if it ''was'' a NoodleIncident (come to think of it, I think I recall she did mention something about an old broom). Last I heard of her, she's still single (and considering she's the eldest of 3 siblings, and her two younger ones are already married).
#92918
The new year's eve incident of '09. All I can say is that there was ABBA, a round of Scrabble, and several instances of people asking: "Hey, why is X naked?"
#92919
Subversion: I ''could'' tell you what "Pulling a Tessie" is and where it originated, but I won't because there may be children around.
#92920
In addition to the above (I'm Adele Potter), me and my friend Gus enjoy making up fake Noodle Incidents. Just today.... #QUOTE# '''Gus:''' So, what's the plan? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' We are going... TO STEAL CHRISTMAS!! #QUOTE# '''Gus:''' Again? Remember what happened last year? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' NO ONE CAN PROVE WE DID THAT!!!!
#92921
Not to mention: #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Remember what happened LAST time you tried to get rid of me? #QUOTE# '''Gus:''' Oh yeah... #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Yeah. You managed to get us banned from Cincinnati.
#92922
This Troper will constantly pull this off. For example: the "failed cloning expirement" or the "Golden Saucer".
#92923
This troper and the rest of 2009's freshman honors class at a Catholic High school always crack up at the mention of the words "Bills vs. Rams". It involves a health class, a recording of a football game (and something else), and an apology letter to all of the parents. I wouldn't mind stating directly what happened, but I find it more fun to simply give small details. If you're clever enough, it's pretty easy to figure out.
#92924
This troper is sure her life is made of Noodle Incidents. Most famously are her trips to Scotland, New York City, and any time she goes to Nationals for Tae Kwon Do. Especially Scotland, there's a reason I'm still not allowed to visit Russia, it's safer for everyone that way. Trust me.
#92925
To this troper, it seems like every single person in her class other than herself knows about the incident that involved Lisa's sister, firework in citric acid and a drag queen. This troper really wants to know.
#92926
My noodle incident is why my last relationship ended. Not one person i know (other than my ex and anyone she told, which is doubtfully anyone) actually knows the real reason for it ending. All i'll say is that it was worse than rape and she knows never to contact me again. Horrible when i look back on it, but strange as nobody outside me and her would know what actually happened.
#92927
"The Mp3 player incident". I won't go into detail, but it involved a giant can of tuna, an intervention, a stray packet of mayonaise, nutella, being forced to look at meatspin, and an alchoholic hobo in a latrine.
#92928
There was that one time, with the tie and the flask and those few candles... good times.
#92929
This troper refuses to use USB drives in computers and got them banned after that one time in 8th grade. I guess it might be easy to figure out what I did, but that's just me. People who knew me from back then will always say something like: "You mean, that was ''you?!''

I'm also writing an UrbanFantasy, which has one incident where a PsychoForHire werewolf named Haru Nikolaievitch (Kind of a heroic one, I'm trying hard not to make him a MartyStu. Also, there is a good reason for him being an out of place Japanese name but this really isn't the place for writing critique.) can't leave his children at home while he goes on "business trips" because of "that horrible Halloween incident earning Haru's son Jack the moniker “Shatterjack,” the one with the pumpkin, a girl covered in glitter, a costume that was far too real, and an exploding book, nobody in Haru’s hometown would host Wren, Camille, and John Nikolaievitch, not even Haru’s best friends. And he couldn’t bribe them with any amount of whisky."

And yes, it whad something to do with ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.

A friend of mine who draws frequently once made an image calling attention to his new drawing style. It begins with one of his characters saying "...and that's how I saved christmas."
#92933
The Live Ammunition Incident. It's a weird story. No deaths caused. That is all.
#92934
The Valentine's Day Incident of '08. It wasn't pretty.
#92935
This troper went to Mataranka when he was 4. He has not eaten vegemite since.
#92936
In a recent production of Frankenstein, we had a completely new kid that had never done a show before. The director told us "not to scare him", and not to mention the goat story. During the performances, he kept asking us about the story, but we swore that we couldn't tell him. It was turned into an initiation thing that involved a pair of boots, a goat, a stump, and a table saw (but the saw is not what you think it's for). To this day, he still does not know what it is. There is no goat story, in case you couldn't tell.

After a sleepless night during my family vacation I'm never going to let Mom forget that thinking of {{Shipping}} helps me sleep
#92938
This troper posted an SMBC comic on a friend's facebook page, and the friend said something about how he disproved the theory presented in the comic (that it takes 22 ninjas, minimum, to violate causality) by saying "It's a long story involving a DeLorean and raccoons, followed by YouDoNotWantToKnow.
#92939
He also mentioned in another comment that he'd had a couple shots of tequila, and woke up in the Mojave desert with no pants in the 1950s, and it went downhill from there. However, he claims that "anything that my gran says about the llamas is a filthy lie." I'm tempted to call him out on the bullshit, but quite honestly, the guy is a CrazyAwesome CloudCuckoolander. I'm forced to consider the possibility that he's not lying.
#92940
This trope was responsible for the most CrazyAwesome Facebook thread I've ever seen. I'd describe it, but it's probably better to just let you read it. Names and pictures have been removed to protect the guilty. I will, however, admit that I'm Purple.
#92941
This troper was witness to something called the "Heidelberg Incident" - the details escape me, but it involved a bucket, two bottles of cheap wine, urine, salsa, bathwater, clothes pegs and an unwary victim...
#92942
This troper has a few of these, one of which resulted in her catchphrase... it involves the worst birthday party ever, the FOIL method, and the lovely combination of black and blue.
#92943
This troper and her friends often refer to "The Camping Trip." It involved the car catching on fire, horses, identity theft, friendship bracelets, heat stroke, almonds, and taco bell. It also led to this troper and her best friend not talking for 3 months.
#92944
This troper has one, which she refers to as "The Letter" or "My First Trip to the Principal's Office". It involved my bus stop, addressing a teacher by their first name, fake fury, decaying teeth, "piercing red eyes", and one very uncomfortable visit to the principal's office. It's probably on the TV Tropes site somewhere in some TroperTales page, or it will be eventually.
#92945
My best friend's boyfriend told us a story once, and, well... I'm the only one of us who eats sushi anymore.
#92946
this tropers sister and cousin use my noodle incident as a joke... it involved my Black Best Friend a confession about our relationship a condom...i think you can make up what happened with just that information.
#92947
This troper has a few. 1) The Waldsee Incident, because what happens at summer camp STAYS the fuck at summer camp 2) The valium dream (in which my imagination strangled me) 3) When 2 Cali Grrls threw a party... (as in "Where'd you learn the Apples2Apples Drinking Game?" or "When did you figure out you were a YuriFan?")
#92948
This tropers brother and some family friends have The White Water Rapids Incident; which involved a dare, an annoying guy who hung around them on holdiay, a de-pantsing and some very fast moving water. This troper always has a good laugh about it, but everyone else has resolved to take the incident to the grave...
#92949
See, ANY even slightly weird story can become a great Noodle Incident if you just state the general gist. For instance: there was that time I was out fishing and caught a seagull; the time I went out for a quiet pint and ended up at a pagan fire festival; the time I had a brick wall fall on me while breaking into my own house; the time I woke up hung over on a peninsula at 5 in the morning and had to scramble before it became an island; the time I had to hold in a giggle fit at the BBC Proms; the time I outwrestled a 16-year-old US Marine brat while wearing a kilt...
#92950
Me and my BFF have a few. There's the Bikini incident of 2009, that time I got kicked off the slide at the playground, and then there's an infamous (around a different set of friends) 'Johnny Incident'. The last one involves figure skating, a dummy in a suit, and head being lost.
#92951
Our AP Psychology teacher told us that, shortly after graduating high school (in Western Pennsylvania), "For reasons I won't disclose, I ended up sleeping behind a dumpster in Melborne, Australia...[continues discussion about sleep cycles]"
#92952
Our school's Quidditch tournament used pool noodles for brooms...resulting in at least one strangely literal "Noodle Incident."
#92953
This troper once wrote a story in which one of the characters mentioned a thing "with a lobster and a snare drum." Not even I know what happened, and I'm the author.
#92954
While camping, this troper's brother may have given a group of kangaroos a fear of Frisbees.
#92955
My school has also provided quite a few semi-Noodle Incidents. There's the Narnian Bullrush Game, The Bird Strikes Back, the Thing in the Tree, The Escort of the Blue Wasp, the Map Trick, the LARP Craze, the Ants in the Toilet, the Vampire Cicada...
#92956
This troper has precsisely one: The Incident-That-Will-Probably-Not-Be-Named-In-The-Near-Future. It involved my computer, the Ukrainian Military (I live in Australia), immense amounts of rage, and a guide. In fact, I just made that up... [[OrIsIt or did I.... ]]
#92957
This troper has a few of these moments: "The Car Alarm Incident" (which involves it being 2 am, a car alarm, a cell phone, and mouthwash), "The Fleabag Incident" (which involves a phone and a guy named Rich), "The Underwear Incident" (which involves underwear, my friend Sara, and too much spare time on our hands), and "The Douglas Incident" (which involves my cat Douglas, a hose, and lots and lots of band aids).
#92958
This troper would prefer that everything from 12/31/10 to 2/25/11 had ''never happened'' and will pretty much blow up at anyone who references it (especially in reference to fifteen minutes). It was a very strange (and rage inducing) two month period involving her best friend's neighbor, a couple dates, said neighbor being a perverted asshole who told her to do certain unmentionable things, lots of rage, a very random breakup, and more rage, not counting the lasting effects (homicidal rage, plans on kicking said neighbor's ass, fights with her mother, said neighbor's ''nonstop'' talking about needing to "explain" and how they "need" to be friends, and friend's parents' being awesome). Her best friend still won't stop apologizing for that.
#92959
A funny conversation at lunch at school with a couple of friends. #QUOTE# Friend 1: ''Hey Troper?'' #QUOTE# Troper: ''Yeah?'' #QUOTE# Friend 1: ''You never really told us about that "thing in the hall".'' #QUOTE# Troper: ''I have been sworn to secrecy. As were all witnesses.'' #QUOTE# Friend 2: ''Didn't it involve a basketball? That's all you told me.'' #QUOTE# Troper: ''No, it was a soccer ball...and there was a chef's hat too.'' #QUOTE# Random Person: ''A chef's hat? Now I'm curious.''
#92960
I jumped off a moving taxi, got attacked by a rufous-vented chachalaca, got stuck on a fence, got my foot crushed by a fountain, had to shut down a fire in my apartment(twice), was in the head when an earthquake happened, played with body parts of a dead person (she smelled like prosciutto), inhaled floor cleaning by accident... I wish I was joking.
#92961
This troper went on a school trip that involved a huge swing, an annoying vending machine, a lot of rain and some bunk beds. He has sworn never to give anyone any information about the FurryFandom ever again, despite how funny the comment about a certain female actor was.
#92962
I have several The Kyle Incident (as mentioned above) The chicken on a stick incident (NEVER accept fried chicken from strangers at a fair) The Nefertiti is a tramp incident ( it involved a crawling bra... nuff said) The kindle incident (Me being grounded and a "lost" kindle) And the Geocaching Adventure.
#92963
This troper has one real one and some fake ones made in my improv club:
#92964
The real one happened last weekend. It involved mud, a pipe spewing out water and my electric wheelchair.
#92965
And now from my improv group: The Lighter Incident and The Time I Chopped Down the Tree.
#92966
Ahh, Noodle Incidents. I've got the Six Flags Bee, the Trampoline, Mutual Shoe Theft and Possession, Stealing Second Base... Some incidents that my friends involved themselves in were The Space Camp Incident, The 6th Period Science Flood, Horizontal Pole Dancing, and pretty much anything else that happened at our middle school.
#92967
The same troper who brought you "The Letter", above, has recently gotten another one. It has to do with the Steel Force ride at Dorney Park, her crush, two of her best friends, a guy she didn't (and still doesn't) know, and the pretty Asian ride attendant. Yes, the fact that the attendant is Asian DOES relate to the incident.
#92968
This troper's cousin and he have 'That One Time at The Rio', and... the 'Moon Bowl'. The bad part was, they happened on consecutive days.
#92969
Do you remember that time this troper broke a can-opener?
#92970
This troper still hasn't let her brother forget the zombie incident. She does admit, however, that the tentacled plant incident was entirely her fault.
#92971
I do hope the zombie incident was nothing like my toilet zombie incident.
#92972
My family has several. ‘The Twin Incident’ involved my twin brother and me being trusted to stay at home alone for a weekend, an unknown bottle of something we discovered to be alcoholic a hotglue gun, a lot of blood and a hospital visit, my fingerprints still haven’t grown back, neither of us are trusted alone for more than a few hour and my twin claims it's the reason for my fear of blood (it isn't). ‘The Poison Cookie Incident’ is used to mock my usually good cooking (no, the cookies weren’t really poison). Not even I know all of what happened in my twin’s ‘Pacman Incident’. ‘The Monster Clown Incident’ involved my little brother’s fear of clowns, our niece’s birthday and another hospital visit. The rarely mentioned ‘Baseball Cosplay Incident’ involved, along with cosplay and baseball, yet another hospital visit and twelve stitches, I still mourn the loss of my Orochimaru costume. Actually, come to think of it, there’s a noodle incident for nearly all of mine and my twin’s scars (and we have a collective ninety-eight)
#92973
At this tropette's school, "that incident" is what caused the TV and Film class to need extremely explicit hall passes (e.g "1, 2, and 3 may go to the office for filming until 10:30 AM.) I am one of 5 people to know what "that incident is. One day during the after school program, an Amish girl (MY) in TV and Film (I don't know why) persuaded my best friend's boyfriend (AC) and another friend of mine (JB) to go to the storage room with her. Once there, MY persuaded them to throw dye all over everything. The walls were trashed and $1000 worth of chorus uniforms were destroyed. [[EpicFail They didn't notice the security cameras.]]
#92974
It involved hot coffee, a coffee cup, and a small explosion. No, really.
