• This Index Is Unstoppable
• Cut to the Index

Tropes to which I have supplied a description and some other key effort

• Lethal Chef: Everything about this page was incredibly bloated. The description went on and on. There was a mess of natter and poor example indentation. I spent several hours cleaning things up, and re-wrote the description. Now it's much cleaner.
• Catch the Conscience: The description on this one was terrible. I had to read through it four or five times to figure out what the trope was about. I think it makes a bit more sense now.

Pages that I merely curate (I also curate all the above)

• And You Thought It Was a Game
• This Is No Time for Knitting
• Inventional Wisdom
• Improbable Food Budget

Pages where I made the page image (since changed)

• Bathroom Break-Out: I was fed up with the lack of good suggestions in an image picking thread, so I threw a bedsheet out the bathroom window and took a picture. It's entirely possible that I was a bit drunk at the time.

I used to do a Noodle Incident signature thingy. Unfortunately, I'm not the most interesting person in the world (I can't speak French, let alone in Russian), so my pool of stories ran out rather quickly. All of them are based on real events. If one of them particularly piques your curiosity, just ask, and I'll probably give more explanation.

• I woke up three weeks later in the middle of a desert, chained to a monkey.
  • I'll explain this one from the get-go because it's the only one that can truly cause misunderstanding. This did not happen to me, but is taken from the legendary boat story, which describes events that happened to a friend. The speaker of this line is a messed-up drug dealer trying to sell the titular substance defined as: "You take all your kitchen cleaners, put 'em in a bathtub, and leave it there for three weeks. Then you got your boat."
• We could always just sell Annie's third kidney.
• You mean you didn't notice the handcuffed shirtless guy?
• Something about a katana bought from a shady-looking Egyptian guy at Pike Place market for $15. Exact wording has been forgotten.
• And then there was the incident with the Russian satellite and the broken computer scanner.
• I'm not very good at lighting barbecues. On a completely unrelated note, I'm very good at dodging fireballs.
• If I carried my knife more, the incident with the soda and my high school principal never would have happened.
  • The incident in question was really more of a near miss than anything else, and could have been a lot worse. Suffice to say that folding chairs make horrible bottle openers.
• How does one accidentally smuggle a six inch long assassin's dagger on their carry-on bag too and from San Francisco?
• It ended with a guy twice my size on his back, in the mud still clutching the other half of my shirt.
• A combination of over-competitiveness, asthma, and high elevation left me barely conscious and hooked up to an oxygen mask.
• So naturally we decided that the best way to get back to the cabin was a massive conga line.
• Anyway, that was the second time I accidentally convinced some kid I was a jedi.
• Not only did he dye the history teacher's hair green in the middle of class, but he got away with it.
• Many things were said in that class, but the one that really sticks out is "Leo stole my pants."
• One of them came from a weird family and now attends a military academy, while the other dropped out of bible college to start a cult.
• She then proceeded to tell a long story about her roommate, the CIA and the mafia.
• He finally convinced his mom that he was straight, only to come home the next day wearing no shirt and another man's pants.
  • Explanation because Sean Murray I actually guessed correctly: the guy in question was rather Camp Straight, and just happened to get in a water fight on an unfortunate day.
• I probably should have had my Shakespeare license revoked after that incident with Much Ado About Nothing and The Three Stooges.
  • School project back in high school. I will say no more.
• He ran out into the middle of a busy intersection, then hit a tennis ball with a golf club before scrambling back to the sidewalk.
  • I used to live right next to Greek Row, so I saw weird things from time to time. This was something that I witnessed as I left to go grocery shopping. Oddly enough, the guy who did this was completely sober.
• I never thought that the ability to painlessly disarm a person would be a useful babysitting skill, but it came up once.
  • I might as well explain this one because what really happened is actually worse than what people are guessing. The kid got his hands on a knife. Specifically, a rather large combat knife. Why his parents were dumb enough to leave that thing where he could get it, I don't know.
• "That's not too bad. I once fell down the stairs and shut off power to half the building."
  • A friend of mine was rather embarrassed about her clumsiness. I simply told her that I am worse.
• We never did tell him that those weren't mountain goats.
• Nothing quite like waking up to the sound of, "The campsite is on fire!"
• We nearly fell down one cliff, and broke another.
  • Final exam back in high school. I still got an A.
• It was over before I realized I was in a fight. I won.
  • Don't ask. I don't really know what happened either.
