In which I roll a critical failure

[unixronin]

GM (the universe):  OK, you just made yourself a bowl of soup.  Now what?

Me:  Well, I eat it.

GM:  You eat it?  Make a skill roll.

Me:  You're kidding me.  A skill roll to eat soup?

GM:  Just make the roll.

Me:  OK, OK ...  [mutters]  [rolls]

Me:  Uh ... I just rolled a 1.

GM:  Ha!  Uh, one second.  What kind of soup was it again?

Me:  Tom yum kung.  Thai hot-and-sour prawn soup.  With fried peanuts.

GM:  Ha!  OK, here's what happens.  You inhale a piece of peanut.

Me:  I choke on a peanut?

GM:  No. You cough it up, but in the process of coughing it up, you cough spicy Thai hot-and-sour soup all the way up into your nose and sinuses.

[much coughing, sneezing, sputtering and gasping ensues]

Me:  ... You jerk.  I suppose you thought that was funny.

GM:  Hey, don't look at me, it was your roll and your soup.

And this immediately after someone else posts that assburnium is Latin for "hot sauce."

Ok....that was exactly what I needed at the end of this very long day.

I have this problem with carrots *all* the time!

I'll bet the carrots don't make your nose feel as though you just set fire to it though.

yeah, i fumble/botch my "eat food/pour coffee" rolls all the time....
they seriously do make you roll for it when you least expect to. none of this "you slide by on everything that's a difficulty three or less" optional rule that WOD offers.
shame, too.

Saving throw against soup? Dude.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I made the save at least, because my sinuses didn't really catch fire and explode out of my eyes; it just felt that way.

He decided he didn't want to eat taco salad with the rest of us. You would probably have agreed because I'm fairly sure I remember you being the greens are what food eats camp.

You have my sympathies.

I wore my first shirt for less than an hour this morning. After my initial meal of the day was shared with the shirt, it got changed (only rolled a 2 on that one).

Ya know, there is a reason why all my blouses and shirts are washable. Yeah, my grace throws are in the tank.
