It's even worse when the posting is "Thier ar Big Sores im my muoth lol."
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm pretty sure my cats are NEVER loling.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My cats loll an awful lot.

I mean, I don't think I'm humor-deficient, but the number of things that make me actually laugh out loud, as opposed to just grinning or making a sort of muted giggle/chuckle, are fairly limited (and often feature Jon Stewart, John Oliver, or Stephen Colbert).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I want to marry Teppy's lolrant and have its little ranty babies.
And, just to be meta, while reading it I just barely managed to stifle myself from actually LOLing (though shouldn't it more properly be LingOL?).

My cats laugh. . . but usually silently. If they make a sound - it is to mock not laugh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I see LOL being used, it's (most of the time) implying that people are laughing at their own jokes, which would be quite obnoxious if it were a F2F conversation.

I love that a buffista would debate even this. JZ, don't ever, ever change.

See, I thought LOL implied the "-ing" as part of that initial L.

I have to say that I really really value (1) the clarity, simplicity and elegance of our board and (2) the fact that Buffistas care about grammar, spelling and punctuation.
There are a couple of different boards I am somewhat lurkerish at. (The MCRmy and Emilie Autumn forums are the ones that leap immediately to mind.) There's a reason I hardly post there. The constant lols! The rows of animated smileys in someone's post! The lack of any sort of content at all in most of the posts!
hyperventilates a bit
I was hoping it was mostly because a lot of the posters on those forums are, well, semi-socialized teens, but no. The other adults at those forums are just as bad.
