Fun Stuff > CHATTER
This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Morituri:
Hmm. There was this one version about the quick brown fox jumping the lazy dog over and over, but depending on the context it might have been considered obscene. Besides, it was longer unnecessarily.
"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" is objectively the best, having fewer repeated letters than either of the other two.
But probably not practical because
A) You couldn't possibly get it into elementary textbooks in Texas. Fundie parents will be afraid that some reference to a beast belonging to the pantheon of a pagan religion is DEMON WORSHIP!
B) While there is widespread agreement on how to spell "Sphinx" and "Quartz", there are a lot of people who aren't in on the agreement for "Sphinx" (they tend to write "Sphynx") and a lot of people to whom "Quartz" is less familiar than "Quarts" and they will therefore mishear and/or misspell it that way even though it makes no sense.
Tova:
I’m amused the tweet mucks the sentence up.
LeeC:
Long and wholesome post that I put in a spoiler. Enjoy

I want to love something as much as America loves Mr. Rogers. Even Mr. Dressup (Canadian Mr. Rogers..sort of) doesn't garner that level of adoration.
hedgie:
And as xkcd pointed out, moving to a Rogers street and getting a cat named Mr. is a guarantee that your kid will never go into pr0n.
