Time To Play “6-Word Westport”

Posted on March 5, 2011 | 46 Comments

Smith Magazine features “6-word memoirs.”

Readers submit 6 words on subjects.

Food:

  • The chicken contributes, pig gives all.
  • I keep going back for seconds.
  • Bad chocolate’s better than good sex.

War:

  • Just like Hurt Locker, except real.
  • He should be coming home soon.
  • History repeats itself.  History repeats itself.

Love:

  • Met in leftist group; felt right.
  • Note to self:  No more surfers.
  • Met, loved, married 46 years.  Alzheimer’s.

Now’s the time: “6-Word Westport.”

I’ll start off this little game:

  • Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, McDonald’s.  Remarkable?  No.
  • Weird, wacky town.  I love it.
  • Beach.  Beauty.  Creativity.  Arts.  Energy.  Entitlement.
  • Big bucks.  Big houses.  Big deal.
  • Worth the sacrifice?  Worth the sacrifice!

    Tax and tax. Spend and spend.
    Don’t ask. We will not tell.
    We are number one. We think.

    i asked a few almost 14 year old girls (who just woke up by the way) and the 6 words they chose were:
    boring, small, wealthy, pretty, ordinary, home

    now the 6 words i would use to describe the reason i moved to this suburb are:
    progressive, creative, motivated, politically minded, Compo

    i guess the kids don’t feel the same (yet!)
