Creative Pangram Thursday
A Pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet.
See if you can write one... harder than you think... the goal is to create as short a sentence as possible. For a bigger challenge... make two... that work together. I didnt fare to well... 68 letters in each of my sentences...
Ponder the Pangram
Ever been lazy in the ghetto, just moved to quit, skipping a few exceptional words.
Thinking where life put your crazy mind is ghastly, vexing, beyond just question.

My extroverted friend quickly realized that while chocolate covered bugs were cosher, juicey wasps were not.

"Pack my box with Five dozen liquor jugs"
There's a book about this island that bans the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop- who is credited for coming up with "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as the shortest pangram. However the above sentence is shorter -the whole sentence is 32 letters long.
Oh yeah the book is called "Ella Minnow Pea"...it's a book for nerds...or word lovers...which are SuperNerds.

Here's a french one:
Moi, je veux quinze clubs de golf et du whisky pur
which means literally:
Me, I want fifteen clubs of golf and the pure whisky
