Damned but I can go on and on. I could talk to you for 45 minutes about how cool it is that the first time I used a new bottle of $5 face scrub I didn't close the top correctly. Since the bottle sits with the top down, it all leaked out in a stream down the wall of the shower and in a puddle on the shower floor before flowing down the drain. The cool part is that where it puddled there is a perfectly sparkling clean spot in my shower! Not that my shower is gross or anything but this particular spot now looks brand new! So I'm thinking about coating the entire enclosure with this stuff and leaving it there for a few days. How exciting!!

Brevity, however, can be just an facinating. My fellow cult member Lisa sent me a link to an article in Wired called "Very Short Stories".
The gig is that the writer asked various luminaries to write a short story using only six words, ala Hemingway. The results are often wonderful. Note:

Longed for him. Got him. Shit. - Margaret Atwood

It’s behind you! Hurry before it - Rockne S. O’Bannon

Epitaph: He shouldn't have fed it. - Brian Herbert

Thought I was right. I wasn't. - Graeme Gibson

Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back. - David Brin

Starlet sex scandal. Giant squid involved. - Margaret Atwood

Leia: "Baby's yours." Luke: "Bad news…" - Steven Meretzky

So what you're saying is that your face scrub will get that stubborn mildew off my face?

Sweet.

PS. The Luke/Leia thing still has me giggling.
