Top Ten Reasons ...
The Top Ten Reasons Why THQ was ten days late (David Letterman Style):

10.  The rabbit died.
9.  Hey!  Look up there!
8.  We were busy deciding whether to vote for Paris Hilton or not.
7.  Shanna was attacked by Africanized honey bees while on her retreat in the desert, and can only now type with her elbows.
6.  Global Warming is our main concern.
5.  The Deer Head ate our homework.
4.   Our glue stick disappeared. Now we're not pointing fingers (or elbows), but we're definitely looking in Lalo's direction…
3.  It's like ketchup.
2.  Sydney's a trollop.  (See Reason #10.)
1.  And the number one reason THQ is ten days late: We really needed an excuse to make you come to this page to read Daniel Hudon's submission: The Song of the Violet.

On a ledge deep in a gorge,
among a shambles of boulders
only the silence echoed:
dripping out the centuries
the eras the eons --

one man (made of stone),
clutching a granite loaf,
turned from another man
(also made of stone)
with his hands in his pockets
and began to walk away
(very very slowly).
