Express yourself!
Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)
So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

I have a few questions: Are you ever going to name the space station? I mean, Skip is a savvy buisness type guy...he knows how important a catchy name is.
And, since Christmas is coming, I don't see how they can have a "White Christmas" unless they open the airlocks. Christmas without snow is like Los Angeles without smog. They've worked hard... give them their snow.
And did anyone ever answer the complex yet practical math equations presented during Engineers Week, 2001. Being a mathematical simpleton, I wouldn't dare attempt it. However, the information MIGHT be important in the future.

Actually, Skid, Skip has never really come up with a name he likes. But he's open to suggestions.
As for interior snow, opening the airlocks would actually cause all of the water aboard the space station to boil, then freeze to the side of the hull like frost. It wouldn't be much of a White Christmas if everyone got the bends for 15 seconds before they blacked out and died.
And no, no one ever submitted answers for the math problems from this year's Engineers' Week. It might not be important, but then again, it might be on the test later. Who knows?

Between "It" and the Orbital Mind Control Lasers, I think I'll take the latter. Battery powered scooters indeed.
Set that man back to working on the robo-monkey zombies with death lasers on their head already. We're behind schedule as it is!
Now THOSE will change the world.

Wah-hahahahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this new scooter is ridiculous!

Team Rockwood actually thinks that the Segway is pretty cool, technology-wise, it's just that we don't see the market for it. Skip might buy a few to zip around the space station, but we don't see how selling three $3,000 scooters is going to keep a company afloat. We think Dean Kamen should stick to selling his even-cooler wheelchairs.

Hello, how are the men of Rockwood? I have always wondered, why they don't listen to
music, good music at least, maybe you should doodle me in. I am slowly becoming recognized
in school as a great DJ. Have Guffman come up and visit the guys play some tunes then leave.
I thought it would be something to hang up in the DJ studio. Thank you for your time.

Talk about horrible timing! Team Rockwood just hosted a party on the space station last week, and we couldn't find a DJ! If only we'd known which school that was where you were famous, but we couldn't find you anywhere on the internet. As it was, instead of hiring a DJ that knew how to spin those phat jungle beats, we ended up with some chucklehead, instead.
Disco duck, indeed.

With the holidays fast approching, I think we all need a reminder of Laurie's charming message, pasted here for your convenience:
I know a way to support Rockwood AND increase the hit count! Everyone, ask for the Rockwood calendar for Christmas/Channukah/Kwaanza/Ramadan/Winter Solstice/Your Birthday/whatever you celebrate! Not only do you get a cool-looking present you can actually use, but Rockwood gets some money and whoever gives you the calendar will discover this great strip! So, go ask Santa! Or ask your relatives! Or ask your friends! Or ask your significant other! Or ask whoever gives you gifts!
--Laurie
And your great response:
That's right! Buy! Buy! Buy!
And mine:
Give it to people, too. They'll love the hilarious strips, they grey electrons around every date and increase Mr. Lundmark's hit count! Giving is what it's all about, after all.
--Frankie

Sigh...we give and give and give, and Frankie wants more!
Frankie, Team Rockwood now gives you three strips a week, Haiku Thursday, and of course, the Rockwood Mailbag. And what does it cost you? Nothing!
Not only that, but since we hate banner ads, you don't have to put up with any of those on this site. Nor do we besiege you with pop-up ads that plague sites that should have other revenue streams.. Finally, we don't come to your door asking for handouts even though some other reputable sites make good money at it.
All we ask is that you come back and have a good time. And, if you think Team Rockwood deserves some cold, hard cash for its efforts, you'll even get some merchandise back for your troubles.
Ahhh...it always feels good to vent, doesn't it?

Has Skip had any other guests stay at the hotel other than Bill Clinton? Have the well known folks seen in strips set on the station (Dan Rather, Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Dell, Steve Ballmer, and Bill Gates) been staying in the hotel or did they just fly up in a shuttle for a day trip to appear in the strip? How big is the station anyway? Does Skip have enough money to support everyone working on the station even if they don't have guests? Why don't we ever see any of the other people who work on the station? Is the upper managment so elitist and snobby they don't lower themselves to socialize or even interact with the common laborers? Is there a law enforcment agency on the station? Since the station is Skip's personal property, and located in space do U.S. laws even apply? It used to be the CIA's so it was U.S. territory but now it's Skip's. Couldn't he just declare the station it's own country or something? Why has KHAN not been seen for so long? Am I thinking too much? Should I stop listening to what the "orbity thingies" tell me to do? Granted they haven't asked me to commit any crimes yet but still..............Writing my senior chemistry paper has driven me mostly insane and now I am overly detail orientated.

Mikki, we suggest that you print out your letter above and show it to your chemistry professor. We think you can get an stress-related extension on that deadline. Then go get some sleep!
