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!

		June 3, 2003 Nope, I meant Dr. Lorna, but not the one you linked to. You are obviously not Sluggites, but that's okay, just be wary of knife-wielding rabbits. --Holly
		Frankly, Holly, we're a lot more worried about unarmed rabbits with mile-wide vicious streaks. They're killers!
		June 3, 2003 Glorious leader! Any chance that Engineers' Week could become a quarterly event? It's the way forward for Rockwood. --Keith
		Sorry, Keith, but we don't schedule Engineers Week, we just celebrate it. We'd be just as powerless as if you'd asked for every day to be Christmas. Team Rockwood will just have to muddy through the calendar until February 2004. On the positive side, there should be some major engineering projects that will be very close to being done by then.
		June 5, 2003 I have seen the phrase "cheese eating surrender monkeys" about 4 times in the last 2 months. Where did the phrase originate? I say The Simpsons, my roommate says no, it was somewhere else, but can't give an explanation. Can you help? --D.C. Transplant
		What? You think we didn't come up with it? Okay, we didn't. Your roommate loses the bet, D.C. Transplant. The phrase cheese-eating surrender monkey did indeed originate with "The Simpsons." However, the reason it took off this year had to do with The National Review's Jonah Goldberg, who has had a long-standing distrust of the French. And once this year's mass dislike of the French kicked in, the catchphrase took off.
		June 8, 2003 Dear Rockwood, I moved and in the process lost my precious T-1 connection at school. I am now stuck on a pitiful modem until I get a real job and can afford the luxuries of DSL. My problem is I used to check rockwoodcomic.com on a regular basis, now it's down to only once a week. I have the calendar. What else can I do to satisfy my Rockwood addiction? --Seriously under-interneted in the U.S.A
		Well, SUIITUSA, you are in serious trouble. Our first recommendation is that you get all buzzed up by drinking coffee out of a Rockwood Coffee Mug. Then once your energy level is up... Uh... well, frankly we don't know what else you can do, then. You'll own all of the Rockwood merchandise, and while normally we'd suggest something like starting an online Rockwood fan club, you've already said you can't get online (thus the problem). We think you just need to buckle down and buy that DSL line (although, the Rockwood site is designed to be friendly to the phone modem user). After all, how are you going to watch any cool movie trailers if you only have a 56k connection?
