Separation of 6 word by smilies Now isn't that just so clever.


stay on topic... But we can't!

We must escape the moderators' wrath!

I would, except y'all said such nice things about my story. (And accidental statement...) I think Lady E is the official mod of this section... you should watch out for her.

Really though, if you're talking consistently in 6 words it's not that terribly off-topic. It's still a successful exercise in maintaining a word count. But try to keep it to primarily 6-word stories. Silliness is good, but don't let it run rampant and ruin the thread. Okay, guys?


What came to mind was "..."

You have our word, mon capitaine! Yikes, I just did it again...

----------------
The light faded, leaving pitch darkness.
----------------

I like that one. It's...complete.

I was going to keep silent...
But you all have gotten addicted
This really must stop right now.
(Oh dear, I think I'm infected)

Anyways, I was going to share.
But now I can't remember what
So I'm going to duck out
Having accomplished little in this thread

P.S. Wow--that is fun. But since I'm a moderator too: back on topic!

They married, lived happily ever after

You stole that from Princess Bride!

Ack, six word sentences are addicting.


Love it, Eruhan!
There, I finally broke the addiction.
(I think. Maybe not. Definitely not.)

I was wondering when somebody'd notice.

A six word sentence without trying. :shakes head:

It's the end of The End.

They lived. They died. The End.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Definitely.
Methinks the last one was original.

I think I will try again.

Moderators came and ruined the fun.

Hey, this is really quite addicting!

Snow fell all over the forums.

They are coming more naturally now!! (Didn't even try on that one!)

Wow, just noticed that is six!!

My little brother just wrote one:

I really like cows and dogs.


EDIT: Avoiding triple posting, so I'm editing.

Here is a conversation just happened:

Little bro: Caleb, I have a good one: I eat my mints with mustard.

Me: J, that doesn't make any sense.

Little bro: I put mustard on my mints!

Me: No, I am not posting that.

(True, as far as I recall!)

I can't believe I missed that.

I assure you, that was unintentional.

Sometimes things like that just happen.

Lots of sentences are six words.

Taking a long break from killing.

Uhm...yeah, what might that mean?

Now here's a challenge for all of you dangerously insane people...

Go find a complete 6-word phrase from Scripture that stands alone as a sentence. (Depending on your translation, it'll probably be part of a longer sentence, but as long as it's complete in grammar and content, it counts.)

Mine are, both from the KJV:
"Let no man despise thy youth."
"Lay hands suddenly on no man."

A cookie to anyone who can tell me what book of the Bible both of those are from.

And I was misinformed. Lady Shanai-Irisis is the official mod of this section.

That's an excellent one, Shawn! Have a cookie.

"The truth will set you free."

*looks pointedly at Jonathan's signature verse*

"The LORD will fight for you."

Hahaha!

Both halves are six word sentences.

My mind is blank. No stories.

Thank you, Shawn. *eats cookie*

Haha! Good one!

"Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus." Rev 22:20

"I will also laugh at your disaster." Prov 1:26

"She is more precious than rubies." Prov 3:15

"Who can find a virtuous woman?" Prov 31:10

There's a few. That's an even better challenge!

"O LORD, You bless the righteous."

"Let them ever sing for joy."

"He is the King of glory."

"Fear the LORD and shun evil."

"The LORD will be your confidence."

"By grace you have been saved."

"He who believes has everlasting life."

"Light has come into the world."

"The light shines in the darkness."

"In the beginning was the Word."

The possibilities are quite nearly endless. The Bible's filled with such phrases.

Yes, it's definitely filled with wisdom. I love proverbs, they're so good. *goes to try and find more*

"Who is this king of glory?"
"The LORD God, strong and mighty"

Located somewhere in the Old Testament. Didn't bother to look them up.

I love this one.

Don't give me the credit! I didn't write it.

Wow, you all did fantastically at that! Isn't it fun? And edifying, too.

That was a good idea, Philadelphia.

It was, thankyou heaps Chilleh Philleh! You've got me everytime I read the Bible now, I'm looking for six word sentences!

I should have tried this sooner!
...
...
*just realized that was six words*

---
Her selfish attitude became her death.
---
A piercing shriek; the dragon falls.

I will definitely have to look up some Bible verses later.

the music stops, a woman dies.

this ones is actually a riddle.

we shouldn't go into it here...

In honor of the Christmas Contest:

The moment of truth had arrived.

Bush suspensively chewed off her nails.

I think the announcement is delayed. Just thought I would note that.

Sigh, will we ever find out?

The suspense worsens with every second.

I entered a contest. No announcement.

The torment of suspense is painful...

*wonders when a mod will see* No doubt they'll be highly amused.

I'm a mod and a judge. The announcement has been delayed, I apologize, but we're working on it! There are some fantastic entries up there.

In the meantime, y'all should go back to your 6-word stories.

She ducked her head in shame.

Bush is in a glum mood.


Is that a six words story?

In context, yes. Out of context, it wouldn't make any sense since nobody would know who Bush was.

Drained. Head hits the keyboard. *Whomp*

That one is amusing. I chuckled.
