I had to go look at Mel Kiper's do. Amazing how much he looks like a SNL character...perhaps he'll be the character that revisits the infamous cowbell sketch. They could make a Kiper action figure that looks exactly like him, plastic hair and all. Do you think he uses hair gel, or does it just SNAP in place?

--Bad Panda
 

   
   
Well, Panda, if he's anything like the latest version of George Lucas, that hair probably snaps right into place. After that, it releases another sequel and takes all of your money.

Memorable quotes from Ben Affleck..can Team Rockwood guess which movie they each came from? There's gold here, baby!

"You know it's all funny until somebody gets shot in the leg."

"The bomb is in play!"

"Hey, that light? At the end of the tunnel? Guess what? That's not heaven..."

"Pay attention and you will see how genius creates a legend."

"I mean well putting cheese on something is sort of a defining characteristic of what makes a cracker a cracker."

"I haven't known you that long, but I think there may be something wrong with you."

And finally...

"If you only look where you can't go, you might just miss the riches below."

--Mikki

P.S. Team Rockwood doesn't believe in cold fusion? Did the Team miss seeing The Saint?
 

   
   
Actually, Mikki, we can't tell you because we don't remember. This, of course, is part of the reason we claimed that there aren't any memorable Ben Aflleck quotes. In giving us a quiz, you've inadvertently proved our point.

As for "The Saint," we think we were among the few who actually liked it. Although, we suspect that we might like the TV version better due to the familiar actor in the lead role.

Despair! Oh, the horror! It's 0500 Monday morning with no new Rockwood posted!

Is the Team okay? In bed sick? Sprained wrist? Too much weekend partying? Did a server crash? Internet not working? Computer software glitches? Did the government finally find a way to silence Team Rockwood's voice of truth?!?!

Must...take...deep...breaths...everything...will..be...okay...soon...

--Mikki

P.S. Lots of folks in the lab got a kick out of Friday's comic. And the tag rocked! We definitely feel Al's pain. And I'm all about saving time. But really how much more moolah does Lucas need?
 

   
   
Keep taking those deep breaths, Mikki. Sometimes when our network connection gets a little spotty at night, we wait until the next morning to post an update. So, we're flattered that you're so eager to see the new strip that you check us out at 5 a.m., but in the future, just remember that that's too early to panic.

It looks like Kepler stole his viewscreen from the remains of NCC-1701. Is Skip a Trekkie? Just what was Kepler looking at, anyway? Computer readouts? Images? Viral videos???

--Bad Panda
 

   
   
Skip, a Trekkie? Please, it's Trekker.

Actually, the design of the bridge has nothing to do with Skip's design. He bought it pretty much as-is from the CIA, so maybe it's the CIA that's full of Trekkies!

Isn't it about time that routine maintenance on the space station turns up Jack Miller's desiccated mummy stuck in an airlock or something? We sure miss the guy, maybe a "space-zombie of snarkiness" episode will convince him to drop us a breadcrumb and lay hands onthe blog sometime. At least so we can know he and the Goddessae are alive and well.

--Andy Bradley
 

   
   
Yes, because what would make Jack want to come back more than seeing his desiccated self? Hmm... maybe not.

We're with you, Andy, in that we'd like to see Jack's return. The Apple rumor mill just isn't that same without him. However, also like you, any correspondence we've sent out has never been returned. We know as little as anyone else, we're afraid.
