It's been almost a month...
since the blogging community lost resident aphorist and occasional sillimanesque ejaculator Aaron McCollough. Here is his final post, with commentary.

Last Broadcast [Too Short also retired.]
And...like Tost...I'm out. [Of the toaster.] If you are interested in the question of my merits as a poet [There was a question?], please read my books. [What about your merits as a blogger?] Good or bad, the proof should be there more or less. [The PUDDING] Otherwise, godspeed you. [Don't you mean fuck off?]
I hope you'll check in with GutCult every winter and summer. [What's GutCult?]
Life [seriously?], wife [okay], and writing [what will you do with the other 23 hours of the day?] call and call me back to my notebooks[Ooohhh!]...away from the blip. [And professional sports?]
This was an interesting experiment. [It was all just an experiment?] I'm glad we did this. [Does this mean I have to go now, too? But my loyal reader(s)!]
Coming soon to WOT-WHAT: Edification!

Um. Do you mean Too $hort retired? As for the one hour of writing I do a day, remember, it includes dissertation writing, so the other 23 hours have to be very focused or I spend 30 minutes writing poetry and end up spending the other 30 googling myself.
Yes. It was only an experiment. It failed. You must also quit.
Twan, or the funniest white man alive, you were my R.A. in the summer of 2001 at the IYWS.
Just wanted to say i love the sight. The baby sitting class is a great pic. Been reading some of your short stories too. Anyhow, blog you later. Cheers.
Twan? You got to be kidding. Twan!! That's too funny.
I say you submit short stories to journals as Twan. Or at least apply to a couple of fellowships. How do you think I got my fellowships at Iowa? Yep, I turned in an application bearing my nickname: Pepe Papaya.
I go by Don Toine now. Don Toine de Los Angeles. Y Papaya Tambien.
