		June 6, 2006, So a year away is too far to plan a trip to LA to see more Star Wars Stuff, but you have been planning for months to go see Snakes on a Plane. Go figure. --Jim Rockwood
		In our defense, Jim, it's a lot easier to plan a two-mile trip to the movie theater than a cross-country trip to a sci-fi con. That said, Snakes on a Plane, man! How can you deny the genius of that?
		June 7, 2006, HAHAHAHA! Loved Monday's strip. Though I feel a little sorry for Dean. Get a little excited about something in this country and you're labeled as a radical. One little sound blurb and you're a maniac. But then I still wouldn't have voted for him. --Tony J. Moyer P.S. - Could we please get a menu bar link to Haiku Thursday?
		That Haiku Thursday link is coming up in the Rockwood site redesign, Tony. When is that? Oh... you know... someday. But it will be before Howard Dean stops being a maniac. Of course, that's not really giving you a time, either, is it. How about we just say we'll work on it.
		June 9, 2006, Dude, if I had a dollar for every funny post/haiku Sarcasmo made around here... I have enough to go to LA for Celebration IV! Team Rockwood have any thoughts on next month's shuttle launch? I have hopes, not high ones, maybe somewhere in the stratosphere-mesosphere... And did ya hear the one about the Japanese space tourist? Not a joke set-up, just the next man, I repeat man, who gets to visit space & the international space station for many millions of dollars. There's even a fifth guy in line! Couldn't this money be put to better use, I don't know, feeding starving orphans or funding medical research for a thus far incurable disease or helping fight the spread of AIDS in Africa... I can think of a lot to do with 20 million dollars. Apparently so can all the multimillionaire/billionaire women. --Mikki
		That money could be put to better use, Mikki. Instead of actually going to space, we think Daisuke "Dice-K" Enomoto should invest that money in a comic strip about people going to a space hotel. He'll get a lot more for his dollar that way and all of humanity will benefit!
		June 13, 2006, Diving... The faking of injury to garner a free kick or have the opposing player booked for a yellow or red card. The Italians are a master of the art but not the sole actors, so I propose an award to honour this despicable art. Football is theatre and theatre has the Tonys so, therefore, Football will have the Bookatonys. Yup, finally we will honour those players who manage to fall to the ground and writhe in pain as if they had been shot, who then have a miraculous "recovery." Our first nominee for a Bookatony goes to substitute Iaquinta of Italy against Ghana... After falling to the ground and clutching his leg as if it was broken, tears streaming down his face as he was taken off on a stretcher, he miraculously returned 2 minutes later without a limp or any ill effect evidenced by his gazelle like sprint down the pitch to score Italy's second goal. Good for you Iaquinta! --simon lepik
		We thought Iaquinta meant "next to Denny's." Wait! That's LA Quinta. Never mind. Our bad. Our problem with soccer isn't the bad acting, it's the bad timekeeping. At the end of the game the ref says there's... oh... let's just say two or three minutes left. WHAT?! Why is it that every other major sport on the planet has the ability to show the actual time remaining, but soccer insists on keeping their "bonus time" in the dark? Don't tell us that a World Cup event lacks the funding to pay for the technology that exists at every American high school football game. Hmmm... maybe it's so unruly fans can't schedule the exact starting time of a riot, eh? Who knows?
