A book of thousands of six word stories has been published. The book's title, "Not Quite What I Was Planning" (by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser) is an example of the kind of stories in the book. Some others...
"For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn"
"Bring it to a boil. Often" - Mario Batali
"Revenge is living well. Without you" - Joyce Carol Oates
"Wasn't born a readhead; fixed that." - Andie Grace

It's time for Carnival- Winter Style
Look up the Winter Carinival in Wikipedia and you will find:
In 1885 a New York reporter wrote that Saint Paul was "another Siberia, unfit for human habitation" in winter. Offended by this attack on their Capital City, the Saint Paul Chamber of Commerce decided to not only prove that Saint Paul was habitable but that its citizens were very much alive during winter, the most dominant season. Thus was born the Saint Paul Winter Carnival.
It's still pretty cold out there, but the sprit seems right and the storyline, with the winter king boreas being banished by Vulcan, thus allowing summer to come is pretty fun.
