Contest #23: Six Word Story Contest | final results

Posted 11.07.2006 by Dave (11547)
The model for PoopReport's six word story contest was what Ernest Hemingway claimed to have been his greatest work: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." The beauty of his story is that brevity speaks a novel more: of a mother's suffering, of her tragic disappointment, of finally moving on with life. A truly moving six word story doesn't just describe an event or capture a moment or coin an aphorism -- it creates a vivid picture of a past, a present, and a future. In six words it sends the imagination into a place far more visceral than six thousand words could ever do justice.

And so the honorary winner of a six word story about poop must be this slight tweaking of Hemingway's classic: "For sale: baby shoes, worn once."

There were a cornucopia of entries from PoopReporters; as always, only a few could be chosen as finalists. Those that were chosen were judged to have come closest to creating the grand vision of human drama, just as Hemingway did. The winner should, like Hemingway's example, be the one that transports you into the past, present, and future of a story about poop.

Pick your favorite. The winner gets a copy of The Journal of Ass Production!

PooperGal (527) -- 11.07.2006

More than 200 great stories, and seven finalists that are as well-picked as a thong out of an irritated crack.

Fart Poopie's bungie saga was the most story-like of all, in my opinion. Reading those six telling words caused an entire short story to flash through my mind.

Fine work, everyone. I read and enjoyed all of the entries before the top seven were picked, and thought all were worthy of consideration.

sharty mcfly (211) -- 11.07.2006

all the entries were awesome, i'm honored to be among the finalists, and even more honored to have received votes! (other then the one i submitted for myself... ah well sometimes it's tough not to pick your own)

daphne (3369) -- 11.08.2006

I personally liked "The stall reeked; Mexican night prevailed" as my favorite entry to the contest just for the reason that it told a little story.

But, hell, I'll take what I can get. I'm not picky here.

Thanks PooperGal and everyone else that voted for my entry. You guys rock! :-)

PoopySmurf (47) -- 11.08.2006

Wow--I'm new to the Report and I was quite surprised to be a finalist! There were a lot of great entries that had me laughing (or wincing) Thanks to all who voted for my humble tale--may the best poop prose win!

daphne (3369) -- 11.09.2006

Gator says he's honored to be included and just dropped a dook full of braciole string, so he'd like the pity points.

Yeah, I screwed up. You can read about it in the forums if you want. I have a page on my website about string and animals, and this is why......

When does voting end?

Congrats, Daphne. It looks like you're winning. :-)

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 11.09.2006

Argh!!! Let's try that again.

There's nothing worse than chopped up happy face.

daphne (3369) -- 11.09.2006

I am voting for myself because I have no shame nor honor. None. Nada. Zip. I'd eat my young if I needed a snack.

Well, that might be taking it a bit too far, but you get the point. Besides, I'm a vegetarian.

A tie. Congrats to you both! FP, email me your address so I can send you a Journal. Daphne, I'll send you something else you'll like. Do you have a certificate yet?

Everyone else: buy a Journal of your own, huh?

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 11.13.2006

Holy crap! Last time I checked last night, I was down by one vote. Congrats, Daphne!
Thanks to everyone who voted for my entry!

You've all made my day!

Chuck (283) -- 11.13.2006

Congratulations to the winner and finalists. This was a fun contest. For me, it took my mind off a terrible weekend when a family member died unexpectedly. Thanks for providing me with a humorous distraction and fun challenge.

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 11.13.2006

All hail, daph, Princess of Ties! This is, of course, deja vu. Last year, daph tied for Poop Reporter Of The Year, an honor that was richly-deserved.

The Dumpster (2510) -- 11.13.2006

"Daphne, Princess of Ties." Damn; sounds like a novel by Poot Conroy!

All well done--sorry I was out of town and didn't get in on the fun.

shitwit (532) -- 11.14.2006

I too had tons of fun thinking up 6 word stories (usually at work!), and then reading other stories posted here. Some of them had me on the floor laughing!

Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

daphne (3369) -- 11.14.2006

Dave, IS this a joke? When my son checked the poll at 8:30 or so our time (11:30 eastern), he said I had 27 votes. Before our power went out here, I checked the results and I'd won. Fart Poopie was right.

What happened?

Dave (11547) -- 11.15.2006

Dunno. All I know is what the computer tells me, and the computer tells me you both got 26 votes.

Maybe Thomas misread it?

daphne (3369) -- 11.16.2006

There were 27 votes on the computer screen. I would not shit you about this. Neither would Fart Poopie.

I thought you guys were really joking me by changing the vote because of all the second places and all, which would have been downright funny.
