1. You Have GOT to be Kidding!

That is funny as hell. Rammstein of all bands.

4. I'm pretty sure it's a joke.

The "Team RaMstein" that she's addressing in the one photo is most likely NOT RaMMstein the band.

7. Oh, of Course -- Got It!

Had me fooled.

9. It happens to the best of us.

After staring at a computer screen for extended periods of time some things don't always register right away.

12. I Was Wondering Whether the Good Germans Pulled a Stunt

at Laura's expense by inviting a problematic guest band with an innocent name. That would have been fun.

Then they could have done: "We're all living in America, America, it's wunderbar...."

16. For a split second...

...I thought that maybe she was trying to build up some kind of "street cred" so that she can do that anti-gang work that she's been called upon to do.

17. Oh, Right -- LOL!

Now I want to see pictures of Laura meeting with the leadership of the Crips and the Bloods.

I mean, she's not just thinking of buying some media spots and doing photo ops with kids and community leaders, right? That's no way to solve the problem. :smoke:

18. THANK YOU--

That was the extra connection I wanted to make, but thought it'd be too convoluted. Thanks for the assist.

3. ROFL!

[TOOLZ]

5. okay, I've wanted to ask this...

...I've picked up a lot of DU speak, but I am embarassed to ask what ROFL stands for. I get the meaning, just not the origin.

thanks

10. You're welcome!

I hope you have better luck than I do with your post count. I'm the quiet one in the family I guess. I swear though, my post total seems to go down every so often. I cannot for the life of me get to 600! :silly:

13. Your post count means you are a good listener!

Your posts show you take time and listen before posting an opinion. You'll get to 600 before springtime!
