Sure, you can say it in an essay, but can you say it in six words? Exactly six words? Check out our contest and let the most articulate Axiomoe win! http://www.axiomaudio.com/blog/started-to-really-listen-a-revelation/

This one I am submitting for Ken. This does not count as his real post unless he wins (meaning he can post his own submission if he wants).

Shaddup, Murph.  You know, I was thinking of you while at a new (to me) restaurant recently. At Dirty Oscar's Annex, the food was cool, but what caught my eye is that they are leaning heavily on purveying moonshine from Carolina. While enjoyable, I thought it inferior to PEI Shine.

Hey Tom, a place that serves "the perfect $10.00 beer dinner" and moonshine? This needs to become a franchise!
PEI didn't repeal prohibition until 1948 so there was lots of time for product development. My Grandad could have been a character on "Boardwalk Empire". Except it would be more like "Wharf Empire".
Edit: Hey you just inspired an entry for me.

What a load of stinking crap. I can't think of anything here. Do conjunctions count or not realy? Maybe something audio related would work. Should I use Axiom in mine? I love the sound of Axiom! I would buy again and again! My work here is now done.

We're getting some pretty great entries! That login-with-facebook thing works I guess!
It's hard resist six word sentences.

Why, what is wrong with Haiku? It is always a joy to share with friends.
Although the pedants among us will want to point out, no haikus here.

What's important about seven, a cube.
But a cube has six sides.
Not if you count the inside.
Another excuse to quote The Doctor.

I like your thinking Murph.
A cube is not a block.
Would it thus be twelve sides?
Or is the inside just one?
Maybe The Doctor has the answer.
And I don't watch Dr. Who.
My "edit" note is six words.

How many sides would a cube have if you drilled a round hole through the middle? You can only use six words. I will convert it for you. How many sides would a cube? Have if you drilled a Round? Hole through the middle of it?

I have a couple of analogue-centric phrases, even though I can't win anything!  Music is not ones and zeros. Music begins when a record spins.

I haven't listened to so much music in 25 yrs. I bought a MMF 7.1, project Tube box and i play records for hours on end. I just recieved some Morrow Audio interconnects. Hopefully will see how much of this cable nonsense is BS.

Wow - the entries have finished and we've narrowed it down to the top 6. Should have the winner and first runner up tomorrow - I'm just not sure how we're going to get there yet. Thanks to all who played along - this was a fun one!

Here's one for you Amie:
"Red wine bottles ARE my shrine!"
Does the exclamation point count as a word? It just doesn't work w/o the exclamation point.

Wait, was this a contest with something to do about Axiom? Or just 6 words in general?
I have a few others that i just can't bring myself to put into print.

I got the same thing. I'm using my discount to get 2 x ep500 1pr M22's 1 x vp150
I'm just waiting to see if the discount applies to the 5% discount I'm getting for buying 5 pieces.
That's quite a bit of money saved!

Does everyone else have Ian flying in on the private jet to find the optimal placement of the prize LFR's or is that just what I got for 13th place?

Boooo! It looks like I may not be able to use my discount with the 5% multi item discount because I'm trading in my HG M80's. That would suck! I finally win something and it's snatched away!
C'mon Axiom, have pity on me...

You don't have a den or something that needs some Axiom speakers? You have pretty much every other room covered. Congrats!

So, who won? And what was the phrase? Hey Cat, I was one of the joint winners, http://www.axiomaudio.com/blog/winner-of-the-six-word-contest/ I'm with Luc, not sure what I want/need so it would be cool to be able to transfer to a friend. Of course, a second sub would be really nice.....
