Great stuff. Could a book be made of these?
I'm thinking Charley's 'The Beginning, The Middle, The End' would make for a good title.

Unimaginative schizophrenic turns to identity theft.
Frigid Pandas eat shoots and die.
Two men swim one comes back
Whole world in hand, closes fist
Clown is evil, child loses innocence.
Egotist suicide crime of passion
He died she lived his escape
Chiuaha climbs mountain St Bernard pregnant.
Asked computer God exist? now yes
Do you come in peace? No

Quote: Griff @ February 27, 2008, 9:47 AM'man puts dick in flatmate's porridge' tells you nothing about what happened before he violated the breakfast staple. For example.
Sigh. If you must have a comedy story in six words which implies backstory and sets up a potential future narrative:
"Man violates porridge once too often."
Or in three words:
Oatmeal Sex Apocalypse.
Don't know why you're sighing, you still haven't got it. It's "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Not "Baby died, don't need shoes now". You're just writing amusing sentences, like "Priest pisses in blind child's eyes."
Oatmeal Sex Apocalypse is good though.
Quote: Griff @ February 27, 2008, 3:03 PMSo what, you want a beginning, a middle and an end for your six words now ? Christ up a drainpipe. Right...
"Porridge violator arrested. Later, Goldilocks arrives."
Say what you want, but this is a definite improvement on draft 1...
Man kills friend and eats heartily.
sequel:
Wife finds out and buys shoes.
