Rockwood: The Rockwood Mailbag.

The Rockwood Mailbag

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!

		January 29, 2002 Some bones to pick (or nits): A- Henrietta was following what you said: "Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking?" and "Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip!" (which makes me think of farting, too, come to think of it.) B-Either Lizzi or me have the same memory problem, but I could swear Kelpie's age was 12 this summer too. C-Shouldn't Leisha (the cat lady) get some special award for still generating mail 6 mos. later? And making several of your mail/haiku sites and the AI hint guy's site be the only ones to show up for that search on google? D-You really should add a cat, at least for one week. Just keep it away from the Kelpsters experiments (and KHAN!) so he/she can live. (Speaking of experiments, do you realize Data's cat went from being male on one season to having kittens the another?) Your strip is so cool it gets the longest letter/email/whatever I've ever wrote! --Jay Mez
		Wow. Talk about stream of consciousness! Let's go point-by-point: A. Uh...maybe sometimes we shouldn't know what you're thinking. B. Actually, that would be both you and Lizzi have the same memory problem, because we assure you that Kepler wasn't 12-years-old this past summer. C. We'd never even considered a special reward for mail-generating mail, but we'll kick the idea around. Team Rockwood is always open for suggestions. D. Silly boy. You could never introduce a cat onto a space station for just a week. Data's cat is a perfect example of this. Once out of the Earth's atmosphere, cats are able to spontaneously change sexes (nature finds a way, ala "Jurassic Park"), and reproduce at an astonishing rate. Soon they would overrun the station. And we all know what that would be like, don't we?
		January 29, 2002 Whatever happened to Tangent Man? Will we be seeing him again? I really miss-- Hey, what's for dinner? --Luciana
		And now, in the "long time fan, first time caller" category... Tangent Man is an older Rockwood character who may or may not someday reappear. Sorry to be so vague, but that's really all we can say. There aren't any plans to put him in anytime soon, but you never know when the situation will arise where someone needs to change the subject in a hurry.
		January 30, 2002 Regarding this week's strips, it's my theory that the universe is mint flavoured :-) --Snaf
		Or, to be more precise, mint chocolate chip flavored. And it's great with Magic Shell!
		January 30, 2002 I had to go looking for a web page that talked about the "color of the universe" to figure out just what the heck you were talking about! This is my contribution to your other readers who might not "get it" right away! --James
		Ironically, we'd looked at this very page before James sent it to us. Now the rest of you can look, too, deep into the true color of the universe. Just don't look too deep. There's still the space madness to contend with, you know.
		January 31, 2002 If the kermit person doesn't resubmit his/her thing, can you still put it up on the mail page? Please. I am quite intrigued by the idea, and I can hardly take the suspense. --Rora
		Sorry, Rora, but it is not for Team Rockwood to decide when someone else's art is done. If Mr. X wants to resubmit his haiku, that's his prerogative. But if he feels that it's better left unfinished, then who are we print it? Well, besides the people who run this site and have complete control of its content.
		Feburary 2, 2002 You should add a new link with an orbity thing at the top of your page to the haikus. --John
		You're right, we should. And we will...someday. Team Rockwood is slowly working on a redesign of the entire site which, if we're lucky, might be done by April. A haiku orbity-thingy is in the works, but for now, you'll just have to watch the bottom of the main page for the link.
		February 3, 2002 I know you said Enterprise is too new to parody, but come on! "Decon chamber"? "Wrist nipples"????? They've given you so much to work with already. I think it is time that your space station had its own "decontamination chamber." Hey - it seems to work for UPN. I think they use it whenever ratings get low. I can see the conversations now: "Hey Brannon! The network boys upstairs need some higher ratings numbers!" "No problemo, Mr. Berman - we'll just break out the old 'decon chamber' again." "Good thinking. And make sure the decon scene gets in the preview this time. We don't want anyone to miss it. They don't need to know what the episode will actually be about or anything, just make sure there's lots of skin!" I am sure similar conversations occur at Team Rockwood all the time, though they may be a bit more one-sided. Take care! -- The Jedi
		Actually, Jedi, the conversations are not only about similar topics, but also similar people. Negotiations are still pending, but as soon as Jolene Blalock is willing to supplement her T'Pol role on "Enterprise" with guest shots on Rockwood, we'll be having a decontamination chamber strip every day! Only morons would hold back on a gold mine like that.
