Ooph! At least there's sustenance in a centaur. It could be
worse. I know of a NetHacker who shall forever remain nameless
'cause Curly++ is too embarrassed to admit to this...
While luring wraiths from Gehennom in 3.2.2, one of The Castle's
dragons wandered into the back yard. Hmm. Fire resistance would
be nice, I'll just hack this thing's heart out, slice off some
dragon steak... yum! That was satiating! No let's go back to
luring those wraiths.

You did not get a message about wishing to finish the meal? My experience in
3.3.0 is that one chokes more often when eating while satiated. Maybe it's a
function of the =oDS and taking it on and off. I try to plan eating for
intrinsics by taking off that ring. It is a disappointing way to die though.

I second that. Deep in Gehennom, a wraith decides to leave a corpse on
Orcus' level. Too bad i just snacked on black dragon on the level above...
ugh. I had *everything*, AC sub -40, wishes left in the wand, etc etc etc.
Well luckily the stuff still is there... in the bones.

I take it one step further, and put on my ring of hunger.
Sean, assuming =oDS was supposed to be =oSD

Spoiler...
I think you can only choke if you are satiated when you start eating.
BUT, you only get the warning if what you are eating takes more than a
few turns to eat. Small things, like fortune cookies, tins of spinach
and, apparently, wraith corpses can be eaten quickly and thus you
don't get the warning message (which could explain why so many people
seem to choke on these little things).
Hmmm. Prehaps the dev team should add a 'wafer thin mint' which will
have suitably disasterous effects if eaten when satiated. ;-)

This all sounds too familiar of my second best (yet most Ascension
worthy character ever)..
2 591086 gregor-Val-Hum-Fem-Neu choked on her food in Fort
Ludios on level 19 [max 23]. Choked on a tengu
corpse. 144 [145]
And the most stupid thing is that I already had TC- what was I
thinking?????????????? Ah well.. maybe next time. :-)
