This made me think of Ernest Hemingway's six-word short story:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

To the ladies

Think dildo: Only the battery needs changing.

Mieke,

Another answer for you, from today, at 'Deadline'.

Sorry, six words

Think dildo: Only battery needs canging.

changing

Dildo

I hate to break the news, Mieke, but a Dildo is charasteristic without batteries. Vibrators need power.

My favourite six words, although they're quite old: "It's not you, it's me. Sorry."

Instant classics are hard to write

"You've never even met a border-liner!"

"Fly away my darling, skyscrapers rock."

"Our old building has many stories."

Don't believe everything you think.

Correction

Think vibrator: Only battery needs changing.

Read Arnon Grunberg, bought a waterboiler.

Dens

On second thought, I would like to change it back into 'Dildo'. A dildo is perfect , it doesn't even need a battery.

isn't it weird. Men just need images to get arroused, but women need all this equipment. Vibrating things here, lubricants there, anal beeds this and big dicks that.

Dens

I always thought most women first and foremost need their imagination. A few months ago a friend showed me a game for men on the internet where the user could use different toys on a handcuffed woman. So I concluded that it's men who have a need for equipment.

Juliane

You are jumping to conclusions.

A Personal six word memoir

" In 2009 i'll miss her forever "

I wanted to add a more poetic sentence, and since it was a subject a couple of blogs ago, thought maybe i should write down the last words of John Keats :
'don't breath on me - it comes like Ice.'
But those were eight words. Nevertheless, eight beautiful last words.

@Sander, in line with your words -
She thought today would end tomorrow.
@Kevin: I'm guessing I'll would count as two words - I will. Similarly don't would be do not, but perhaps linguicists can shed some light on this.

'Coffee and a new life, please.'

Arnon

Of course there are individual differences. Let's say in my opinion and according to what I heard men are prone to like toys (not just because of the existence of the game). But of course my opinion is in no way statistically valid since I usually don't talk to men about their sexual likings.

Juliane

I happen to know more women than men with sex toys.
No reason to be shy. Ask men about their sexual preferences. It will enhance the lives of all people involved.

It's always more than six words

David

Not always but you got seven.

Niet te veel, niet te weinig.

Coen

beter te veel dan te weinig.

it smells here like old men.

I notice Dutch grammar entering my English phrases more often. Excuse me for this.

"It smells like old men here."

Some variations

"After sex, divorce is a possibility."

"Among your sexiest attributes: Erectile Dysfunction."

"Don't worry, just make yourself come."

"Only while she is still illegal."

"If I kill myself, blame MySpace."

"My parental advice? Make them orphans."

Really, I can't remember anything.

We should never speak our minds

T.R.

Some of these variations are improvements.

Dens

Could you say something about the smell of young men?

Young girls smell like buttermilk. Bah. (Arno Hintjens)

(Your customs officer at the borderline.)

Of all emotions only anger remained.

Indifference is the last possible defence.

"Not bad. Who needs six?"

My parents gave me this book. I was surprised by the specificity of many of them. Asked to boil down my life to six words I would tend towards the most general abstraction (with room left for a cheap gag, as above) but was surprised at how people seem to fixate on extrinsic things (bad relationships, bad families, religion). But that's what makes it compelling; seeing what people value.

English contractions generally count as one word (for word counts) but not as actual whole words (for the purposes of Scrabble).

Thank you, D. Hylobates!

She says: "I don't want your money, honey. Why do you act so weird?"
He says: "In my eyes it was over. All I wanted was a date."
She slams the door and cries. Should have picked the other guy.

The best six words can be found in music lyrics in my opinion.

I'm feeling tragic like Marlon Brando

(Bowie)

This place is on a mission

(Radiohead)

It's also the easy way to find six word lines.

Bernard

Indifference is always the best defense.

Hylobates

Six-word memoirs (http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/) wholeheartedly agrees:
"Tomorrow, maybe, I'll sell the ring." Matt Tanner

My six words:

I am just looking, thank you.

Arnon

There is a proverb in Spanish that says something similar: "El mayor desprecio es no dar aprecio."
Another memoir: In the end mother was right.

Morrissey

Others conquered love, but I ran.

Some girls are bigger than others.

You just haven't earned it yet.

You've got everything now.

Take me anywhere, I don't care.

Throw your skinny body down, son!

Young men smell nice(ly). They smell like things you'd like to eat or lick. I love the smell of y oung men (if they're cute). And for the record: I believe I'm straight.

Oh dear

first it seemed to be about sex, than it was about the value of life, which to many is identical, by the way.
My six words: he is dead, I am alive.
And for the record: no, I did not kill him.

Dens

How young?

Dens

You should try the smell of babies, male or female.

Thanks!

I'm glad I made your list of favorites!

kristina

You are welcome.
