Hey Brian,

So I was watching the New Zealand TV3 news last week and they had a piece on the new fad for choreographed wedding dances. Near the end of the item was a few seconds of a thrilling-ly familiar dance. From the quality it looks like the cheap bastards must have used the YouTube video. I checked out the TV3 web site but there's no sign of any online video for it. Still, if they had mentioned your name you would have been almost-famous in New Zealand too.

I was just wondering how you came up with Rockwood. Is it a family name or just the character name? I'm a Rockwood but I'm from Canada. I know that I have family in the states but I've never meet them.

--Jenifer Rockwood
 

 
It was an exhaustive process, Jenifer. First we hired an international market research firm to find names that would strike just the right chord with our viewers. The resultant names from to that research were tested on focus group after focus group, weeding down the candidates to three possible choices. These final three names were submitted to a panel of Illuminati, who used secret rituals which can't be explained here to determine the final name we would use to achieve our global success.

That, or we just liked the name of the street we used to live on. You decide.

Hi, my calendar already has a holiday in August. It's called Vacation Day. However, I do need a greeting card or Haiku poem to mail to my boss to inform him that I am on vacation and cannot be reached by email or phone.

Thought you'd be interested in this, since you are an Apple geek and a "Talk like a pirate" fan.

Arrrrr!

Will Rockwood shouldn't forget Carlos Slim Helú when he speaks of the richest of the rich. See what Guardian Unlimited had to say.

Cheers,

If your nose falls off because you have had too much plastic surgery, you might be a zillionaire. If you are a glasses-wearing, pimply-faced geek marrying a hot chick, you might be a zillionaire. (Note, I tried to make these into a Haiku but it wouldn't work). If you hang up a Wide Load sign on the back of you private space shuttle, you might be a redneck zillionaire. If you put holes in the solid rocket boosters of your private space shuttle while hunting, you might be a redneck zillionaire. If you take your private space shuttle to the Flying J. Truck Stop to refuel, you might be a redneck zillionaire. If you offer space shuttle rides for sex, you may be a NASA engineer.

We may have struck a gold mine, Mikey. Now all we have to do is fill a comedy club with rich folks willing to buy expensive drinks, buy expensive books, and watch a TV show filled with expensive advertising.

Incidentally, we at Team Rockwood consider ourselves connoisseurs of truck stops, and while Flying J's are plentiful and acceptable stops, we prefer Love's or TA Travel Centers. Tell them Team Rockwood sent you!

Hey bro, awesome job on doing that for your wife! Best wishes to both of ya!

--Brian Conner
 

 
Thanks, Brian. But while Brian is willing to take his share of the credit, he has his wife to thank for the original idea, and both of them have all of their wonderful friends to thank for sticking with it and pulling it off. It was a team effort all the way around.

Brian:

How have you been coping with the hot weather? Here in the desert, we run our A/C and drink LOTS of fluids.

Keep up the good work. I see you have a Swedish long-distance cousin checking up on your cartoon strip. You are definitely worldwide! When I was a Kid, a very long time ago, I wrote to my Swedish cousin Britt Marie. I absolutely loved her name and ended up naming my daughter Britt Marie. My brother also corresponded with a Swedish cousin, only he did not name either of his sons after him.

--Alyce
 

 
Alyce, we here at Team Rockwood have come up with the perfect name for a son, and we've suggested it to mulitple parents-to-be, only to be rejected each time. Fine. Their loss. But we guarantee that if anyone would ever follow our naming advice, their child would never be picked on at the playground.
