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!

		October 9, 2002 We're having fun up here in Minnesota. Did you see the clip during last night's game with Bud gnawing away on a chicken wing? Or maybe he was eating crow? I'm not much of a witty remark person, but Bud, old news about contraction and a very hot small market team are keeping our local news media very happy. Just a little food for thought. --Julia
		Unfortunately, Julia, the Twins didn't give the local media much to be happy about against the Angels. Still, we'd like to know if Selig would still have the cajones to try and contract a team that just made the playoffs (it's a moot question, since the strike deal prevents it until at least 2006). But at least there were some good things that happened in the baseball playoffs.
		October 9, 2002 Hey, I know that tune! It's by Green Day, right? --grumpy old man
		Oh, geez. Here we go again.
		October 9, 2002 The strip for October 9th was GREAT! So where did you get the inspiration and how long did it take you to come up with that set-up? Wait, you didn't STEAL it, did you? That would be wrong. --Howard
		Steal it? Heavens no. We just set it up with a little de-duck-tive reasoning. Ha! Stop us before we pun again!
		October 9, 2002 So there I was in the computer lab at school, s'posed to be looking up for a paper, and of couse I have another window open in the browser, and I'm checking all my usual sites (while I'm not on the phone line), and I surf over here. I read the comic, and it's everything I could do not to burst out laughing. The problem was my teacher was two seats down from me, I managed to not get in trouble, but it was close. I'd just like to say 'thanks!' for making the school day bearable. --Greg
		You're welcome, Greg. But for future reference, you should have shown the comic to your teacher. The spontaneous burst of joy they would have received would have turned you into an instant hero in their otherwise drab life. Furthermore, we think that the levity injected into your teacher's day would probably have resulted in cancellation of classes, and extra-long lunches for everyone! Remember, Greg, most teachers are people, too, and laughter is the best way of getting out of homework!
		October 10, 2002 this week's monday strip is sick. thank you. can you do more? --Jim Rockwood
		Jim, just because we like your last name, we're going to say yes. Yes we can.
		October 10, 2002 Tell me something, Brian... you wondered why a school whose colors were maroon and white had a student group called the Orangemen? Since when did EVERYthing a college student does make sense? Or follow logic? I mean, after all... some people pick burnt orange for their school colors... ;-) --James
		Okay, James, we'll grant you the Orangemen/maroon argument. We know not everything we did in college made sense. However, we still don't understand why people would wear burnt orange. Did the entire university lose a bet?
		October 11, 2002 Hello, Underground Online is seeking non exclusive affiliate partnerships to sell mostly pop up oriented ads. Given our demographics, we feel that we could make some decent money for your web properties while allowing you to maintain relationships with other agents at the same time . Please contact me at 212 xxx-xxxx during afternoon hours or e-mail me at xxxxxxx@ugo.com if you have interest. --Brent Colyer
		Uh...no. While we'd love to make money off of Rockwood, we absolutely abhor pop-up ads and refuse to force them on others. If anyone has ideas that could raise money without involving us inflicting pain on others, we're all ears, but pop-up ads won't be happening here.
		October 13, 2002 I miss a couple a weeks and all of a sudden the strip goes British! Cool! (That Aflac strip really kills me!) --Mikki
		No, no...we just quoted the British. If we actually went British we would have lost our sense of humor. Ha! Just kidding! We don't want to get a bunch of letters from Brits, mainly because they wouldn't be funny. Ha! Kidding again! We're such kidders!
		October 15, 2002 Hey, as I remember back from my dim, dark, college days, Will, Al and company started out as Sooners at the University of Oklahoma. Did they get a chance to watch the game at the space station? Did Skip have some special Bevo-burgers brought in from home to commemorate the event? Enquiring minds want to know... --Paul
		The game was indeed broadcast at the station (as it should have been in all right-thinking homes), and the smell of Bevo getting burned wasn't due to the players on the field, but rather the chef on the grill. Humiliting defeats are good meat tenderizer!
		October 15, 2002 I hope I got this in on time... YAY SOONERS! At first I was like, "Oh, no! They might lose," but then they scored 5 TDs in a row, and Texas lost. Yay. On a sadder note, Florida lost. Now I'm angry. We need to fir Ron Zook. How about everyone goes to www.FireRonZook.com and sign the petition? The sooner (pun not intended) the better. Out of curiosity, do you or anyone else in Team Rockwood own a video game system? If so, what? I own a GameCube ^-^! --Shadow
		Well, it wasn't exactly five TDs, but OU did do a lot of scoring there in the second half. As for game systems, Team Rockwood has a Nintendo 64 sitting next to the TV collecting dust. With three strips a week, a Mailbag, and Haiku Thursday all due, when we have time to play games? However, if someone wants to donate a Playstation 2 to us, we certainly wouldn't object.
