I now remember!

 When nature called -


   "Be right back. I have a pressing matter to attend to."
Those who have no idea what they are doing genuinely have no idea that they don't know what they're doing. - John Cleese

The cat got out, Billy burned his finger, the dyer is done, the fire alarm is going off, Suzie got a splinter, the telephone is ringing, the guests have arrived and the roast is ready.  Be right back.

When I was playing my big, manly, huge tank I would sometimes write: "AFK for a bit - need to go tinkle"

Funny story along these lines:

I had never heard the term "bio break" before CoH. CoH was my first MMO or online multiplayer game at all. So I knew a lot of people in my first SG prided themselves on having good character stories and always enjoyed reading their character's biographies, so I assumed people would mid mission randomly get ideas and say "bio break", stop, and add more to the story in their bios.

I, who wanted to be a writer at the time, felt like I was monumentally failing compared to everyone else, so I started doing what I thought they were, stopping mid mission and working on the biography for a bit while the rest of the team went on without me, only for a couple minutes at a time.

It wasn't until someone asked why I kept saying "Okay, done with bio, just going to go to the bathroom real quick and I'll catch up." that I found out I had been very mistaken.

Super Fire Dragon would say, "Got to go drain the lizard, be right back."

Attention Teammates!  Attention Teammates!  I will be away from my keyboard for a while.  Please do not interact with my character until I return.  Thank you for your attention.

 When someone wants to walk away from their keyboard I had a response for that...
 Unattended Avi's are fair game (pops open a pack of colored magic markers) :)

I appear to have sprung a leak.  Be right back after the water works stop.

I don't know if this will be against the posting rules. So I'll be careful. When my parents had their Jackrussel. I'd have to walk him threw out the night. So while I was teaming I'd type "brb got to walk the dog."

Well a few time I'd have a type-o from being half asleep and I'd type "brb got to walk the do&g." Just put an N where the & is :P.

Needless to say, I'd come back to everyone typing. "I just can't stop laughing...." in chat. LOL!
