My current favorites are
ROFLPIMP-rolling on floor laughing, peeing in my pants

and LOLSTC/LOLSTD-laughing out loud, scared the cat (or dog)

Although, in my line of work, an STD is nothing to LOL about--<snort!>

There's also a bunch like
IMO-in my opinion
IMV-in my view
IME-in my experience

And adjectives can be added, such as IMHO-in my humble opinion

If you use one that someone isn't familiar with, they will most likely ask about it :-)
