Compare to the Mach-e compliation, which must have been first since it lists Grabber Blue, one of the Mach-E paint colors, right?:

When I was younger I had a buddy of mine say "lol" over in game chat.
"What does 'lol' mean?" I asked.
"Laugh out loud." He replied.
"I don't think it's all that funny that I don't know what it means..." I quipped.
"No, it MEANS laugh out loud. lol = laugh out loud." He explained.
True story.
