'Bushwhacked'

This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there.

Natter--
msbelle - So a newish fun thing with my fibro -everytime a weather front moves through - I get massive headache and my whole body hurts. So I slept from 11pm last night to 3pm !!!! ANd my head still hurts. I should probably take an advil?
-t - Speaking as someone who habitually forgets about painkillers, yeah take an Advil.
ita ! - GET IN FRONT OF THE PAIN.
Connie Neil - Yeah, that just means I'll have tire tracks on my back when it runs me down.
From Natter:

So if Joe Biden and Ben Bernanke want to man up and do a replay of Burr/Hamilton, then they should take care of business in Florida.
A Burr/Hamilton joke is ALWAYS quotable.
In Natter:
-t: My sister majored in, hm, Contemplative Movement? Something like that. And she kind of uses it, whatever it was called.
flea: Contemplative Movement? Pardon my releasing my inner 12-year-old but that sounds like deep thoughts while taking a shit.
-t: That may have been part of the curriculum!
more than teary than coffee, tbh
SuziQ: I'm sorry that buffistas have the experience to provide me with such information, but I'm grateful for you sharing the information.
Connie Neil: Glad to be the scout on this trail, maybe I can be the only one to take the trip.
Dana in Natter:
Why is my work teleconference starting with talk of a vomiting child?
Shrift:
Maybe they just wanted to help you reaffirm your life choices?
Ginger, in Natter:
Nothing says "dinner's ready" quite like the smell of melted tupperware.
Makes me laugh 'cause ... well, it's happened.
Consuela, in Natter:
But behavior I find off-putting in a tortoise is really unacceptable in any kind of public figure.

Matt the Bruins fan -
I was encouraging one of my supervisors (whom I'd have invited to become a buffista long ago if not for the fact that this is where I come to vent about work) to borrow my Teen Wolf DVDs based on his love of Buffy. And then walked alone a quarter mile through a winding forest road in the pitch dark to get to my car, and only realized mid-walk that I was doing exactly what I've called Scott McCall out on as a dumbass for doing at the start of said series. Thankfully the only wild creatures that bit me were mosquitos, but as I was shuffling along by the dim light of my cellphone I was imagining "...and that was the last anyone ever saw of him!" as my epitaph.
ita ! - "he was a nice guy, but more importantly, too well-steeped in pop culture to wander off through the woods after a bittersweet party. That took us all by surprise. You think you know a guy, and then...boom! You find he has habits you couldn't even dream of sharing.
"But we would have listened--we just didn't hear what he was so desperately screaming. At least he didn't take that new guy (virgin) he'd developed a crush on. Small mercy, given the tragedy, but it's all we have to hold onto right now."
Rick in Natter:
My parents had four kids, and I know they were disappointed to find themselves reaching old-age without any grandchildren, even though they were careful to hide it. When I called my father at age 86 to tell him he had twin grandsons on the way his response was "You're cutting it kind of close, aren't you?"
In Natter, I actually snorted:
Zenkitty: I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain.
billytea: IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS NAME THE DAMN HORSE
