Do y'all know about Rick Rolling? It's sort of done as a bit of a prank, asking someone to click on a link to see gaming tips or pictures of your fishing vacation or something, but it leads you to....well, click on the link. Yes, do it! You know you want to! Then you can say you were among the fortunate to be RickRolled by Ms. Strega.
0ops...some faithful readers have just emailed me (three, to be exact) or commented and do not understand this. So, I have failed to explain adequately and will try to now:
RickRolling is when you email a friend and tell them you have a link to..well, as I said before, gaming tips, recipes, pix of the luau you held in your backyard last week, whatever. You tell them to click on the link to see these fabled pictures, recipes, gaming tips, whatever you choose. BUT...instead, you have in reality given them a link that leads to a YouTube video of Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up." And at that point, if your friend clicks on the link, you have consequently RickRolled your friend.
I don't know where the "rolling" part of RickRoll comes from, though. It's sort of a silly prank.

I don't get it!!!
Hi, Kate--I added to it and hope I explained it better. :)
Okay, I get it now. It's one of those in-internet jokes. :) Sounds like I'm stuttering!
PS: I'm a total nerd. I acutally like that song. Although I had no idea he looked like that. What is he, 12?
