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!

Al's right, you know. Since they haven't been living in the United States boundaries for in excess of a year, their income isn't taxable by the U.S.

We don't claim to be tax experts, Rogue, but we have to believe that there's some kind of exception for astronauts. After all, if they qualify for a tax break, we can only assume that they must have taxes to need a break from.

My first foray into the mailbag, but I had to say, I'm pretty sure I would have won anyway. That was some mighty fine Haikuing.

--Sarcasmo
 

   
   
Well, it was at least mighty solitary haikuing, Sarcasmo. The mood of the Team Rockwood judges changes all of the time, so there's really no way to predict who the winner of Haiku of the Week will be. That said, you have more than your share of victories. Perhaps that's because you actually write in on a consistent basis. Let that be a lesson for the rest of you!

Um... don't you mean 385th place? That's better than 387th place... unless you changed your name to Jonny Tiger... or maybe you did what Lex Luthor did last night on Smallville and split into two people and the Tiger is your evil half...

But why are you writing about Tim Payne? This man actually finished 387th in the Redbud. Did you actually look at the results? Actually, if you look at the chart posted in your ACL repair fun page it says you are 384th. But Why...

--Sandy & Mary
 

   
   
How did Brian finish in 387th place, then 385th, the 384th? Clearly we've been careless and our secret's out. The truth is that Team Rockwood has been hard at work for decades on a time machine, and now that it's operational, they've been using Brian as a guinea pig.

As a result, he's run the 2005 Redbud Classic three times in the past week, slowly moving up the chart each time. Once this technology is perfected, Brian will be able to run an entire race wearing the "Time Machine Backpack," which makes time go backwards at the same pace it goes forward. This would lead to a 5k time of 0:00. Watch out record books, here we come!

B- Have you considered joining the RSS craze? Seems like a tri-weekly strip ought to be a GREAT candidate for such electronic syndication.

--Doug
 

   
   
Electronic syndication? Is there money in that? We thought not.

Seriously, Doug, we're far too busy tuning our flux capacitors to have the time to set up an RSS feed. We won't rule it out for future development, but right now we have to concentrate on how we're going to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity from a backpack. Where's our Mr. Fusion?
