    A very nice take on the challenge. Being a great Beckett fan I opted for:

    Failed. Failed again. Failed better. Dropped dead.

    Okay, it’s got 7 syllables but ‘dropped dead’ is a lot punchier than ‘died’.

    Thanks, guys. Jim, you sound like a real hard-core birder!

    (I was going to write a real post this afternoon, but instead got sucked into the vortex of worldwide excitement over the new WordPress release. Maybe tonight.)

    I’ll decline comment on your ferret story, but these six words are unbeatable. Perfect.

    Thanks, y’all. Damn, that’s an embarrassing number of words in response to my six! Though I did spend a few hours thinking about it, I’ll admit.
