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!

		December 10, 2002 Here it is again. From an article CNN Sports Illustrated section talking about possible nicknames for Kobe Bryant... Jeff Reid of Montreal offered "Special K." It seems pretty good and obvious. But isn't someone else called Special K? The award for most nickname suggestions goes to Eric Ogden of Seattle who came up with: "Italian Ice", "Not Air Jordan", "Pretty Man", "Dr. K.", "Vitamin K.", "La K.", "Robin", "Bootylicious", "Son of Shaq", "Mini Me", "Tattoo", "10 peat", "Kaddidas", "Spin-Slam-Stop-Pop", "Tasmanian Devil", "Golden Boy" and "Jelly Bean II." Some fit into categories we've already discussed and some aren't bad, but only one worries me. Eric, dude ... Bootylicious? --Greg
		The bootylicious-ization of America continues, just as we predicted over a year-and-a-half ago! Frankly, we're a little puzzled at why some of you still doubt our foresight. What other kind of confirmation do you need?
		December 10, 2002 What was that about same interests? Anyway, I didn't know your b-day was last Monday, Brian! How old did you turn? --Shadow
		Brian is the same age as Lucy Liu, and once again was disappointed that she forgot to call. So disappointed, in fact, that he won't be seeing her next movie. Oh, who are we kidding! Have you seen that trailer? YEEEEE-HAAAA!!!
		December 12, 2002 Hey Brian, tell Roy that his haiku poses a great suggestion! I'm up for a catfight if Elizabeth is! Bring it on! (And I'll get TWoP's Jessica to recap it!) --Christina
		Well, Christina, while we're not really into sponsoring catfights, we know there are plenty of people in Hollywood who are, and the opportunity for a quality recapping is just too good to pass up, so we'll have our people phone Jerry if your people phone Jessica. Let's do this!
		December 13, 2002 You know... there are at least two Rockwood stores over at CafePress... One is obviously yours... "The Rockwood Store" ... the other is called "Shop Rockwood"... Am I confused yet? Nah... just thought you should know. BUT... I can't find you except through the link on this Rockwood website... --James
		James, our CafeShop (obviously) is still in its infancy, so we haven't yet taken advantage of CafePress' multitude of links. That will be coming in the future. For the rest of you, just to avoid confusion, if there aren't any cartoon characters on the page, that's the other Rockwood store.
		December 15, 2002 Spoiler-free, indeed! All right, everyone, I want you to know the kind of man you are really dealing with at this site here. Here I am, minding my own business in line for the 10:00 pm showing of Star Trek: Nemesis in Norman Oklahoma, opening night. My wife and I are at the front of the line, with some of her geeky coworkers (as if I'm not) and their friends - the show is sold out, and we've been waiting in line for over an hour. We're watching the people from the previous showing coming out of the theater, trying to judge whether or not they liked the movie but also desperately hoping none of them says _anything_ to give away the ending. Then out of the theater comes a certain "spoiler-hating" cartoonist, and before he's even completely out the door he just blurts out the ending to everyone standing at the front of the line. You couldn't hold it in for 2 minutes, could you Brian? Maybe spoil the movie for the people in the back of the line? For shame, man. For shame... -- The Jedi
		Oh, Jedi. No wonder you're all wiped out in Episode III. Yes, you did see Brian blurting things out to friends in the front of the line, and those things were "Spock is dead!" and "Picard is Wesley's father!" It should be obvious that neither of these things are spoilers, since Spock is so four movies ago, and Wesley spent more time on the cutting room floor than in the movie (look fast in the first scene...he's waaaay over on the left). Although, we suppose we do have to admit that since The Next Generation is further in the future than the original series, there's a good chance that Spock is dead. It should be obvious what killed him.
		December 16, 2002 Even as a conservative leaning libertarian type, I had to laugh at Monday's strip. I figured poor Trent was still hiding his face behind the foot stuck in his mouth, but that's probably harder to draw. :-) So is this a thinly-veiled endorsement of your hometown Okie senator's bid for the Senate top job? --Wally
		A foot in the mouth? Oh, that's not so hard to draw. But we don't think Sen. Nickles is waiting breathlessly for Team Rockwood's political endorsement. Our political record is hardly the measure of success.
		December 16, 2002 Alright, so I saw Star Trek this weekend. And no there are NO SPOILERS in this email. I just hope your parody is better than the movie...I give Nemesis a 2.5 out 4...First Contact is still the best with the Next Generation crew IMHO. --Leif
		Leif, you apparently liked Nemesis more than the critics but about the same as the fans. But still, nothing compares to number two.
