From the Editors:
While the writing has slowed down to a grinding halt--Hawkinson's approach to writing is neither disciplined nor generally very good--we on the editorial board (which, as you have noticed, occasionally interjects to provide some context and clarity to Hawkinson's ramblings) were noodling and spitballing, trying to be productive when Hawkinson is not, and came up with, what we believe in all modesty, the world's most brilliant joke/riddle/bit.
Here it is. Read slowly to catch all the nuances:
Question: When is a Q an O?
Answer: When it suffers from a prolapsed vowel.

Hawkinson's Note: Didn't I hear that joke somewhere else, possibly earlier in this blog? Are we plagiarizing internally here? What's the deal, editors? By the way, you didn't tell the joke right, either: It's supposed to be, When is an O a Q? If you're going to plagiarize, at least do it right . . .
At any rate, this is to announce that the blog will continue shortly.
Editor's Note: The joke's still not funny . . .
Hawkinson's Note: It depends on the delivery.
Editor's Note: Yours sucks.
Hawkinson's Note: Consider yourself uninvited to the Christmas party.
Editor's Note: Thank you.
Hawkinson's Note: I know it sounds harsh--
Editor's Note: No, seriously, thank you.
Hawkinson's Note: Can notes have a conversation? This is getting weird. If it were e-mail, it would be text messaging.
Editor's Note: You're drunk.
