Six Word Memoir - A Meme Of Hideous Brevity
By Brent Diggs on Apr 17, 2008 in Humor
At long last I have interrupted my highly cerebral often classified meditations on subjects as vast and varied as Flatulence Magnetism, Sub-Aquatic Incontinence, and The Average Number Of Quarks Stubborn Enough To Refuse To Dance Upon The Head Of A Pin in order to answer the challenge of one Jeffrey Ellis who’s dare to me was to sum up the whole of my existence in one Six Word Memoir.
Well, as anyone who has ever had their retinas imprinted by this publication can tell you, I am far too verbose to encapsulate my entire corporeal career in a half-dozen words. In fact, it often takes me three times that amount to even realize I have begun a sentence, much less decide what it is to be about.
But then there is the Ominous Comma, my beloved blog for which I am spokesman, legal counsel and Chief Exaggerative Officer, that I can describe six words:
Which I will deposit upon this screen immediately below this line:
A Cult of Multiple Personalities
As you can see, I have finished with one word to spare, and as I decide how to spend that literary surplus allow me to bestow this same honor upon those who truly deserve it. I hereby inflict this meme upon my dearest absentee blog mutineers, Don, Lobo, and Alex who probably deserve far worse. While I’m at it I will widen the noose to include femme fatales Leigh, Theresa, and Jami. Of course anyone else who cares to saddle themselves with this challenge may also do so without my direct supervision.
Rules, blah, blah, blah:
- Write your own six word memoir.
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post.
- Tag five more blogs with links.
- And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
Get cracking boys and girls, there’s not a word to waste.

My memoir:
“I feel like I’m forgetting something.”
Thanks Froggy, sorry about your site.
It is a crime against God and nature that you were targeted while scores of scrappers and lolcaters go free.
If you find the perpetrators my tambourine army and I will gladly aid in their destruction.
Where the hell is my map?
-The End.
I can see some serious royalties coming from this memoir.
Definitely a GoodYear Times Best Seller.
Of course you’re suppose to put on your blog but I will take this to mean that you feel at home here.
…”highly cerebral?” I think I’m missing something. Oh, wait, maybe you are referring to the position of the brain.
I have no blog, but here is my six word memoir.
Crap, what was I saying again?
I have no blog, but here is my six word memoir.
Crap, what was I saying again?
I didn’t mean to do that.
oops. Hey look! My memoir, vol II.
LOL!
Perfect! It means something that you managed it in only five words, but I’m not sure what.
I got to do this meme a while back. Here’s my response.
But in your reality does humor and irony have their own subatomic particles?
“At long last I have interrupted my highly cerebral often classified meditations…”
Debbie’s highly retarded brain read it like this…
“At long last I have interrupted my highly cerebral often classified medications…”

Then I laughed my booty off when I read “Flatulence” Magnetism! Did you put that in there just for me Brent?
(…was that a stern NO or just a probably not?)
I omitted jello references for you, but if you would like flatulence magnetism you may have it.
Of course,the air around you could get very thick very fast.
Oh thank you Brent D, I dont know how to repay you for this honor you have bestowed upon me…
Its now posted, along with my regular saturday mess.
I thought I was the only one who never slept at night.
Well though I am awake most of the night anyway. I think this time its just the time difference since I’m down under in Australia.
I accept all major credit cards and whatever they use for money in Australia.
We just right IOU’s on the back of gum leaves… but the dam kaolas keep eating them so no one knows who owes who what. Economies screwed man.
Kaoloas are different from Koalas… its not just a spelling mistake… honest.
Evil, evil, evil.
[*sigh*]
Can I just combine all my tags and memes into one SUPER tag/meme once and for all?
Fine … everyone on my link list is getting screwed.
Thanks “Brent”.
(If in fact that’s your real name)
:)
One meme to rule them all?
And you say I’m evil.
I’ve decided to pull my advertising. You’ll get no more money from me! (except when I get my funds together to get the Danger Couch stuff, but that’s different.)
No problem. I think I said enough nasty things about you over on my blog to cover the whole meme thing. And now I’ve got protection.
Don, don’t think of it as a meme, think of it as more of an homage to blog-jackers everywhere.
Once again I flatulently exhale as my name is not called to do a meme.
I mean that as a good thing in case the meaning wasn’t clear. I hate memes hehe
It’s taken me a while to get here, and wow, thanks, I’m honored, I think. As soon as I fix some kid problems we are experiencing, I will get to this one. :)
And a dubious honor it is, but you’re quite welcome to it.
It appears your recent efforts to increase traffic (especially, submitting to a blog carnival) have been a raging success! -Fellow submitter to the same humor blog carnival who has now found and enjoyed your blog, and thereafter subscribed wholeheartedly to its RSS feed.
That’s great Kelly, if there’s one thing I can’t stand it is half-hearted subscribers.
