Richard presents a flag

(After Erkki Kanerva's short story "Yrjö vihkii lipun")

Ladies and gentlemen. And Flake.

As we have gathered here today to officially present the new Rammstein flag, I'm happy to wish you welcome to this joyful event. In a moment, once I get around to it...

Carry the flag in, Till. And take the damn cigarette out of your mouth!

Get your arses off the bench, people, the flag enters the room! You too, Ollie. And take your hat off.

So yeah, welcome.

Yep. We have finally received a new, official Rammstein flag. Fold it open for people to see, Till. As you can see, there's a reasonably good picture in there of us... standing on our heads?

Aw, heck, Till! You're holding it the wrong way around!

Turn it around, man! There. So yeah, there's a picture of us posing in there. With our hands behind our backs. Some damn infidel's already asked, why. Are we cuffed?

To those wierdos I'll tell once and for all, that we're holding our instruments behind our backs. Even Christof. And for two reasons. Firstly, we're not entirely tied to our main instruments and music. And secondly, Paul can't draw hands to save his life.

It's Paul's design, that flag.

He's used an old photo of us as a reference picture. You don't believe me? That's really us. We used to have a little less stomach back then.

That photo was taken around 15 years ago, during our holiday in Rhodes. Can't remember who took it, for some reason. Paul did some minor editions, such as adding trousers on every one of us.

You could've left Till's appendix scar out, though...

But other than that, it's a very, very formal flag indeed. On the top of it stands the name of our band. That's about it. There's nothing on the backside, just the word "turn".

So let's hear some hoorays for the flag, for us, and especially for Paul. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Shut up already. You can stop now, Paul!

With these modest words, I have thus presented this flag, and won't bother you with it anymore. But Flake insists on playing a fanfare...
Just a short story about how formal the "formal" events of Rammstein most likely are.
