Default Very Short Stories

Saw this in Wired magazine and thought it was kinda cool.

It is like a Haiku, but the only limitation is that it can only be 6 words (actually might be 6 words or less...a few of them have 5). It can have punctuation. It can rhyme (or not). Just has to be six words.

These are my favorite so far:

Quote:
Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.
- William Shatner

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.
- Joss Whedon

Automobile warranty expires. So does engine.
- Stan Lee

With bloody hands, I say good-bye.
- Frank Miller

God to Earth: “Cry more, noobs!”
- Marc Laidlaw

Help! Trapped in a text adventure!
- Marc Laidlaw

Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back.
- David Brin

Bang postponed. Not Big enough. Reboot.
- David Brin

Osama’s time machine: President Gore concerned.
- Charles Stross

Dorothy: "Fuсk it, I'll stay here."
- Steven Meretzky

Default thanks, Sadistic

1940: Young Hitler! Such a cantor!
- Michael Moorcock

and

Corpse parts missing. Doctor buys yacht.
- Margaret Atwood

Some wonderful entries here. The Moorcock entry called to mind the Half Man, Half Biscuit song 'Dickie Davis Eyes' containing the lyric - "'Moorcock, Moorcock, Michael Moorcock,' you fervently moan". Great track.

I'm always immaculately clean when I journey outside my home. Of course, I seldom do that. Here is a tribute to S-S:

Robot designed. War on its mind.

And another political one...

Neocon Democrat: Just add cruise missiles.

And some non-political ones:

Wanted love, love lost, despaired of.

Born, lived, died. No time passed.

Weak water, strong like the ocean.

We, all one. Future, all done.

Default I knew...

..you would understand that I wasnt trying to be personally insulting - just a josh about time spent here..

I liked this one...."Born, lived, died. No time passed." Beckettian flavour...
from Waiting for Godot,
Pozzo: (Suddenly furious) 'Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! Its abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day like any other day, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? (calmer)They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then its night once more...'
