A brilliant idea. I don’t think I would have ever thought about it, I more think of the maximum number of characters than the minimum. It was quite a challenge.

I like… this is like those one sentence stories.

Wow, that was way harder than I thought! Fabulous idea!

See, it’s a neat idea, but I can’t even try. I’m so verbose I can barely fit coherent stories into ficlet length. I’m just far too keen on running on at the mouth.

Hey, you don’t want me to be the guy that stumped the LoA do you?

Awesome challenge idea – thanks!

Wow, i guess you don’t call it a challenge for nothin. Great idea!

are you going to judge these. if yes, when?

I love the idea, i would have never thought of anything like this!

good idea! i would try but i’m just not ready lol

Stump the LoA? You can’t do that. It’s like…it’s like…expecting the Spanish Inquisition! And no one does that. If I were the sole person involved in LoA, you might succeed; however, we are legion! There are at least 4 members of the LoA (League of Awesomeness) who have participated in the challenge. I may be stumped, but the LoA is unstumpable. :-P

You had to go and say, “stumped,” throw down the gauntlet. Ooh, you’re going to hate me for it, but I entered the challenge…sort of. Have I mentioned I have a devious streak and problem with rules?

This just goes to prove why THX is the Grand Awesome Marshall. That has to be the most Awesomest twist to a challenge yet! Thinking outside the box. I LOVE it. As far as rules………. Hmmmm… Bending is not exactly breaking them. ;)

Yep. Stumped. Stumped seemed like a good word at the time, not too arrogant of a word, yet prickly enough to make someone . . uncomfortable :-)

Well…I took a stab at it. Yikes. Cool idea. I had to really rearrange it…I kept getting 65. Once again, cool idea lol

Ok, do you all know how insanely difficult it is to write a haiku with only 64 characters?

Congrats to the winners. Good job!

oh, i vote for the winners (first to third) in the order you have it

Dammit! Oh well…I’ll be sure to vote :)

As much as I feel my entry had just way more depth and detail than everyone else’s (cause I cheated), I have to go with Howie’s. That was wicked funny, from the title to the understated, “that’s not right.”

A lot of the entries were hysterical one-liners and not necessarily stories…and if that’s the judging criteria, a story rather than a punchline…I have to vote for Saint Chuck’s entry. But that’s just my interpretation of the challenge!

Woah!! I can’t believe it. Everyone was sooooooo great! I feel so honoured. I think I feel a tear. Was not expecting that! Thank you sooo very much!

I’d also like express my gratitude. That made my day!

gosh! i’d need to spend every waking here to do all the great challenges and stuff! i wish i had seen this earlier! looks really challenging!
