At the Chinese hotpot place 海底捞 (translation: scrape the Ocean floor [sounds delish, dont it?]) aka HaiDiLao (which has made inroads to the southern california community due to the high Chinese population), you can order a "special noodle" - make sure it's a 火锅餐馆 and not 按摩 spot so you get what you're looking for.
A waiter comes out and spins a thick thick piece of dough around in a captivating dance, lengthening it until it gets really long (like this thread) until it becomes a thin noodle, then it's cut up into pieces for the guests. Guests clap and cheer - it is after all the only table of white people in the restaurant and thus they've never seen this schtick before.

You've probably heard the popular expression to "Give 'em enough rope, and they'll hang themselves." If you give one more chance to someone who has time and time again shown themselves to be, let's say "disagreeable," they can finalize that assessment in the eyes of the community.
Well, ya see, Mannastone didn't mean any harm to Anonojoe with his feux d'artifice, but wouldn't ya know it, he provided wove a thin noodle of wit, and Anonojoe went and hung himself with it. He didn't heed the expression: 弄巧成拙。Well, at least some guests got to enjoy their noodles, and the others got to enjoy a hanging.
----------------
If you noodle it over, maybe you conclude Mannastone is just noodling about or maybe Anonojoe is just a wet noodle.
Cheers, I'm off to get some noodles for lunch. 再见。
