The #bestdrunkstory Twitter contest is in full swing, and we’ve been getting some hilarious entries. However, I’ve received some private notes/emails from folks wondering how on earth they can get their story down to Twitter’s 140 character limit.
Well, pull up a chair at the bar and let ol’ Papa Hemingway’s ghost fill you with drunken minimalist inspiration! Here are a few stories that I came up with myself — some are true and some are false, but all are under 140 characters with the #bestdrunkstory tag.
Here are some that have been submitted to me that were either verbal, emailed, or not quite right over Twitter.
Hopefully you see how much fun it is to condense your story down to its bare minimal. Brevity is the soul of wit, I’ve heard. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, good luck and happy Twittering!

Alright people. Listen up.
I’m a man who likes booze, but sometimes I run a “blank tape,” and I need some stories. So here it is: I’m going to put my money where my mouth is. Got a good drunk story? Tweet about it with the hashtag #bestdrunkstory on Twitter. Best drunk story wins a brand new iPhone 3GS from me, personally, and gets worked into the comic. You get a $200 gift certificate to the Apple Store, and I don’t pay for your coverage plan. But you get an iPhone. Period. Second best story gets a signed sketch of Hank from me. Follow @drunkelephant on Twitter to see who wins. I’ll announce the winner on the 4th of July, because this is America, dagnabbit. Enter as many times as you want. Best one wins an iPhone. Remember: I’ve done some things in my time. The Hangover is close to nights I’ve had. Make it funny. Make us laugh. Your story will end up in this strip!
Update: If you are wondering how on earth you are going to get that epic drunk story of yours down to 140 characters on Twitter, we put up some examples on how to do that very thing!

Today is the debut of my other webcomic with writer Kevin Church, Lydia. Lydia is a spin-off of The Rack and will be released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That means you are getting six webcomics a week from me, my friends. Not only is that like a big warm hug from me to you, but 3 additional strips a week makes it such an amazing hug that rays of sunshine shoot out from our embrace. Enjoy it. Enjoy those rays of sunshine.

Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow (Saturday, May 2nd)! I will be drawing free sketches at Krypton Comics in Omaha, along with Phil Hester and Lou Ferrigno. That’s right… The Incredible Hulk, my friends. If you are in the area, stop by and see us all. PLUS! You can get an armful of free comic books. Which as you know, is pretty great!

I’m sure if you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me link to a great webcomic called The Rack. If not, let me fill you in – it’s a hilarious webcomic about a comic book store, created by the talented Messrs. Kevin Church (writer) and Benjamin Birdie (artist). This week, I have the honor of filling in for Mr. Birdie as he works on a top secret project. Check it out! I’ll be there all week! It’s a great strip that should be added to your regular reading (if it isn’t already).
