Steph L.:
Did I mention -- I don't think I did -- that, betwixt me and The Boy, the L word was invoked?
Because it was.
Eeeep.
Jessica:
Lobster? Llama? Lavender? Lichtenstein?
connie neil:
Lutherans?
Nicole:
Limerick? Right on!
Polter-Cow:
I'm so glad the two of you like licorice.
Frankenbuddha:
Wait, he's a lesbian?
connie neil:
The Buffistas, making merry sport with each others' big moments since 199--something.

Someone asked me if krav was like Fight Club. I said yeah, except the first rule of krav is that you have to talk about it all the time.
In Natter --
Matt: You know it's time to clean out your refrigerator when you realize the plastic bag you're looking at and wondering "why would I pack dried beef in pickle juice?" contains a tomato.
Gus brings the cheer in Natter:
Birthdays ... One More goose-step toward the Abyss.
because it's not just the bitches that need to be wrapped in bubble paper; it's a buffista trait in general:
Frankenbuddha: yesterday, while taking a stroll downtown where I grew up, I was about a half block shy of being killed by a falling air condtioner. Good times, good times.
DavidS: I was a half block shy of being bisected by a runaway bulldozer once. I always point out the chipped brick wall when I walk by it with people.
Frankenbuddha: It's funny, my first thought wasn't "Wow if I'd been walking a little bit faster, I'd either be dead or very seriously hurting", it was "huh, someone just lost several hundred dollars in two seconds."
tommyrot: A few months ago I was about 15 feet from being clobbered by a tree branch. And, um... once I was attacked by an angry heifer....
eta: Huh. Googling "angry heifer" comes up with 53 matches. So there are others who've shared my experience....
Frankenbuddha: A heifer once bit my sister.
sarameg: An aardvark bit my brother.
I'm sorry, I just can't pass up and opportunity to share that. I mean, c'mon. An aardvark? The odds, they are slight. And yet with my brother, anything is possible.

WindSparrow:
This was particularly noticeable in Sammie, my spazzy little girl cat. Most of the time she did not bother looking at the screen, and when the screaming started, her ears shrank back. She actively watched most episodes of Eureka. She's got a thing for sandy-haired toms, and this may be causing her to be predisposed to like Colin.

As a phone volunteer, I'd prefer to get your machine than your spleen. So to speak.

I still remember what a shock it was when they killed Farley the dog in FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.
DavidS
I cried when Snoopy got taken to the vet to be fixed.
Corwood Industries
I looked away, but then they came to take me to the vet to be fixed.
Kristin:
Student: We have to go to drug ed today? Oh man, I hope it isn't corny like Nightmare Before Puberty.
Me: ...Nightmare before puberty...?
Student: Oh yeah. Dance and acting troupe about puberty. They'd spray-painted the walls with fake grafitti and "told us like it was" for an hour. It was horrifying.
Me: <stunned silence>
Student: Yeah, that's the look we had on our faces, too.
