Six Word Stories

I think most of you know about the Hemmingway bet that he could write a story with just six words (he won with something like "for sale, baby shoes, never worn") - but I came across this old article from Wired magazine that had a variety of other authors write some 6 word stories.

Some are pretty funny....

This one from Margaret Atwood is pretty funny:

Longed for him. Got him. Shit.

Obama is a Gangsta

AY, at New Year's you and I had a conversation about the ethics of hip-hop. I think Obama (starting at about 2:19) condenses my position pretty well. "Art can't just be a rear-view mirror, it should have a headlight out there pointing where we need to go."

Also. he brushed off them haters in the primary:

Farting

Places you should never fart:

1. Elevator - this is probably the most important of all the places. You should never do this...unless you are only going down one flight or up one flight. Otherwise just don't do it - someone is bound to get on.

2. The Shower - unlike the elevator - there is no need to worry about offending others. But somehow the hot water makes it all that much worse.

3. Immediately proceeding a b.m. - I found out first hand how horrible this was the other day - if you are standing over the toilet (undoing a belt or something) about to drop a deuce, don't let one go...when you sit down, it will be all around you.

4. Church - Greg set a record for this once and I couldn't stop from laughing during the whole mass.


Places where you should always fart:

1. The Bath Tub - not that we take baths ever - but seeing the bubbles rise while you are stewing in your own juices is tremendous.

2. Riding in the car with your friends.

3. When preparing a dutch oven for your significant other.
