They pay me in WOIMS

That's gonna show up on Law and Order

There already was a Law & Order: CI that had that plot. Roy Scheider was a serial killer from the 60s and 70s who liked to take pictures.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Didn't a Buffista run themselves over somehow?

Cindy, I think.

So now they're ripping from future headlines!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The closest I've come to death, that I know of, was when I was crossing the street near home and a car came down the hill and around the corner and hit me. Luckily, the driver had slowed enough, and slammed on the brakes, so that it was more of a bad bump than a hit. I walked away with bruises (and a bad scare) but nothing worse.

Also an ep of Criminal Minds where a guy allowed the lease on his storage area to lapse, and the buyer found a bunch of creepy stuff that led to the killer.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

The other reason was the corpse in the morgue that sat up at her.

That happened to a friend of mine once when he was making out with an undertaker's daughter. She just said "Oh, they do that sometimes." (Understandably, it was something of a mood-breaker.)

I don't remember any near death experiences, but my father walked away from a car accident that killed one person he was riding with and paralyzed the other. He won't talk about it.

My sister was in an accident that crushed all of the car except the driver's area. It took the rescue squad 45 minutes to cut her out. She's had back and neck problems ever since, but she walked away from it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I had a close relationship with the late night ER staff when I was a teenager due to asthma problems. There was a set routine - go to the blue chair, check my vitals while mom registered me, then off to an exam room for a breathing treatment.

Then I had a bad attack and I don't even remember going to ER. I recall a sudden awareness of being in the big ER room with the bright lights that is only used for SERIOUS patients. That scared the heck out of me. Now that I look back, I hadn't been ventilated so it couldn't have been that bad.

I've also been in a car that was totalled going 5 miles an hour in a parking lot. KCD t-boned another car by mistaking the clutch for the break. He shifted the entire front end of the car and insurance totalled it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Honestly, the event that freaked me out most was one where I would have been on the giving end if it had gone badly. I was going up the ramp in a parking garage (in a standard, which at the time I was shakey at best driving) and suddenly there's a little kid of about 7 running down the ramp towards me! I slammed on the brakes and managed to stop; he ran into me and knocked himself down. He hit his head, and was scared and crying, but his dad was right there. Apparently he'd decided to race his dad to the car (against dad's wishes). He was shaken up, but OK - the dad didn't even wan't to file anything on it. I had to sit for 15 or minutes or so until I could stop shaking enough to drive.
