Peadie and Annabelle: Welcome to the Mudcat. It seems you got the "full-bore hazing" initiation from Spaw (short for Catspaw, a type of ocean wave I believe--he's done some sailing). Spaw is one of the best-loved (and arguably weirdest) characters here. He sometimes shows a "take no prisoners" form of humor. "LMAOROTFL" is internet shorthand for "Laughing My Ass Off Rolling On The Floor" (perhaps more often seen with a different word order, ROTFLMAO). Spaw has been pulling your leg, and not being familiar with him and his ways, you took the bait. He's really not as ornery as he may seem, and he's often very helpful here on the Mudcat. I hope his bizarre humor didn't get your goat too much.

I would offer a suggestion. For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with you and PHP, take advantage of your website to help folks get to know you. Some things you might want to include would be the above story of naming the group, the names of both members (first names at least), what type of music/songs you play, what instruments each of you play, what area you live in (nothing personal like a home address--but what city or state are you in?), etc. You're off to a good start on the website, but I think most who visited it were thinking "Okay, they exist, and....?" Opportunity awaits you.
