I must be extremely bored. Between sessions of OoTMQ, I've managed to surf the net for some random fun. Here are my favorite tounge twisters... Try them out, and see if you can manage them.

The Classic Hardest
The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

Others
A box of biscuits, a batch of mixed biscuits

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

I am not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
'cause the pheasant plucker's running late.

One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart.

A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.

Many an anemone sees an enemy anemone.

And of course, my favorite

Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager
imagining managing an imaginary menagerie?

take it easy....

Actualy it is: She sells sea shells by the sea shore. Oh well, common mistake. I have one:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
If a wood chuck could chuck wood?

That is one of my personal favorites!

Its funny that some people can rattle them off without any problems at all. Somehow, some people are just more talented than others. Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry....

I've never had much of a problem with toungue twisters. I think it's because I see pictures of the what the word means in my head, and not the word itself, so I don't get confused by letters. I only put words representing the chain of meanings in my head together and they don't come out jumbled.

what i do to get it right is think about that word and only that word. one word at a time to look at, read, and remember.

I just keep saying them until I get it right and then fix that exact string of syllables in my mind.

I used to have one in my sig:

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
but Fuzzy Wuzy had no hair,
So Fuzzy Wuzy wasn't fuzzy was he?

I'm the sheet slitter, and I slit sheets; I'm the best sheet slitter, to ever slit sheets.

I'm not the fig plucker, I'm the fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck your figs until the fig plucker comes.
