RIKKI ROCKETT IS INNOCENT

I just got this e-mail from a reader calling herself “Angry Geek Girl.” The subject line is “Just Want To Keep You Guys Honest.I’m just gonna go ahead and print it in its entirety:

“Axl,

“I noticed something interesting. When Rikki Rockett was accused, you jumped on that damn skippy. But when he’s cleared because he wasn’t even IN Mississippi at the time of the alleged incident, your as quiet as a church-mouse.

“Of course your in good company. Everyone was real prominent with the allegation, but either didn’t report Rikki Rockett’s name being cleared or buried it as deep as the could, placing it between the local little league schedule and a recipe for summer squash casserole where no one would see it. I guess innocence doesn’t sell.

“I thought you guys were better then that. Guess I was wrong.

“Angry Geek Girl”

So, yes, Rikki Rockett is innocent, and no, we didn’t report it. It’s a poor excuse, I know, but please keep in mind that Vince and I are the only ones who work on this site on a daily basis, and that we both have day jobs which pays the bills so that we can keep the site goin’. So, yeah, sometimes a story is gonna fall through the cracks.

Still… sorry we let ya down, AGG. We’ll try not to do it again.

    The only part of that story I cared about was the excuse to say Rape Rockett.

    If I had a sack of hammers, I’d hammer him in the morning, I’d hammer him in the evening, all over his douchey face.

    Good for him on being cleared, can he go away again now?

    He was actually in the old man’s Ford at the time of the alleged incident.
