    A Noodle Incident is an incident from the character's past which is hinted at but not explained. Often it refers to an incident too ridiculous or silly for words, where no real explanation can do it justice.

    The term comes from an occasionally-recurring joke in Calvin and Hobbes, wherein Hobbes makes a casual reference to Calvin regarding the "noodle incident," and Calvin's response suggests something absolutely insane occurred.

    Amazingly enough, this can be a lot of fun to do with RPG characters as well. Take this scene drawn from my twisted imagination:

    The whole group of them laughed raucously as Alisa, the newest member of the crew, looked on with silent bemusement. Marric chuckled cruelly, taking a sip of his beer as he leaned forwards and said, "You know Doc, that kind of reminds me of that week on Tau Ceti IV."

    Doc stopped laughing, slamming his beer down on the table a little harder than one might expect. "Look, we agreed not to talk about Tau Ceti IV," he snarled. He paused, and took a deep breath before sheepishly adding, "Besides, they assured me those Denebian Brain Slugs were completely legit."

    What happened on Tau Ceti IV with the apparently illegitimate Denebian Brain Slugs? Damned if I know. It might come out, someday, but for now I have an embarrassing history which I might want to try to keep quiet, there's a little bit of a berserk button to push, and everybody else is going to be entertained by wondering exactly what I was doing with illegitimate Denebian Brain Slugs.

    lol I like this post! Razz

    My friend Jeff and I do this a lot with his characters. Actually, we just have the habit of doing this in general as part of our usual interactions. He's always coming up to me for zany stuff about his character, saying stuff like "well, it makes sense though! Why can't I do that?" and I'm like "Remember what happened last time when you built that device and you almost destroyed space/time?" and he's like "oooh.... yeah... Hey, I fixed it, right?" "Yeah, but its never quite worked right since."
