Actually, I find the name "Laura3" to be quite interesting.  There never was a Laura1 or a Laura2.  This same phenomenon can also be seen in "SP3" or "Stephanie Petite 3".  While there is a just-plain Stephanie figure (the Mystery Model -- remember her?): there never was a Stephanie 2.  Yet the current incarnation of Stephanie is commonly called SP3.

But as has already been suggested, for us old timers: it's a snap to follow.

"Old timers" being defined as persons who have been in this game for at least 4 years (I suppose).  So we have some 4-year-old "old timers" hanging around.  It all makes perfect sense, you see.......

And oh yeah......like with any other high-class hobby -- the "anointed ones" need to have a special language which only they can understand.  This secret language separates the proud "experts" (pronounced 'ecccks-spurts') from the lowly & stupid (especially stupid) wannbe novices who are desparately trying to get into the game so that they can someday play "expert", too.  Maybe then they'll Get Some Respect.

It's an experience similar to walking into a bike shop to look for a bike.  The salesman quickly sizes you up as a greenhorn.  He immediately launches into a lengthy spiel about gear ratios; carbon-fiber frames; camelbacks; love-seats; clipless pedals; travel; derailleurs; rebound dials; etc., etc., etc..  Of course, not wanting to be thought of as a raw beginner: you nod your head sagely at his every word.  Even though he is speaking absolute gibberish -- or at least that's what you are hearing in terms of comprehending what he's actually talking about.  You just wanted a bike to ride.......

Whatever the subject -- if anyone wants to be regarded as being among the Anointed - then it's needful to learn the secret language of the High Priesthood.  Or to at least sound like you know it, anyway.

Personally, I like to use the word "Specular" a lot.  I've found that it wows 'em everytime.

Laura3......Luke2....no, that's not right........LukeSkywalker.....no, no........let's see.......Luke & Laura3..........

Now I've gone & done it.  And I knew what all of that meant when I first started typing out this message, too.........and then I started thinking about it..........:unsure:
