Can anyone beat this?:


T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad.
I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet.

sit on a potato pan, otis.

'naomi, sex at noon taxes!' i moan

do good? i? no! evil anon i deliver: i maim nine more hero-men in saginaw;
sanitary sword a-tuck, carol i (lo!) rack; cut a drowsy rat in aswan; i gas
nine more hero-men in miami -- reviled, i, nona, live on, i do, o god!



***** From: rro@csu-cs (- from the Wall Street Journal)  *****

Piel's lager on red rum did murder no regal sleep.

A slut nixes sex in Tulsa.

Sex at noon taxes.

Naomi, sex at noon taxes, I moan.

I moan, 'live on, o evil Naomi!'

Now Ned, I am a maiden nun; Ned, I am a maiden won.

Dennis sinned.

Dennis and Edna sinned.

Dennis Krats and Edna Stark sinned.

Niagara, O roar again.

Lew, Otto has a hot towel.

Sit on a potato pan, Otis.

Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron.

Draw pupil's lip upward.

Straw?  No, too stupid a fad.  I put soot on warts.

Doc, note, I dissent.  A fast never prevents a fatness.  I diet on cod.

I, man am regal; a German am I.

Snug & raw was I ere I saw war & guns.

Si nummi immunis.  [If you pay, you will go free]

Ablata at alba.  [Out of sight, but still white]

Name tarts?  No, medieval slave, I demonstrate man!

Stiff, O dairy-man, in a myriad of fits!

Stop, Syrian, I start at rats in airy spots!

No sot nor Ottawa law at Toronto, son.

... And there's a good story that goes with the "ABLATA AT ALBA" one.
A lady who was attached to the court of Queen Elizabeth was banished on
suspicion of too great familiarity with a nobleman then high in favor.
She adopted as her device the moon covered by a cloud, and as her motto,
		     *** ABLATA AT ALBA ***
which, in addition to the literal "Out of sight but still white," meant
"Banished but blameless."

Okay, I can see how slugs would get into a plate of beer, but how do
I get the rats interested in word processing? Do I need to provide a
"mouse-oriented" interface?

Another couple of golden oldies:

Name tarts?  No, medieval slave!  I demonstrate man.
Doc, note I dissent.  A fast never prevents a fatness.  I diet on cod.

And a contribution from my friend Martin Schwartz, a little incantation in
palindromes:

			Gnostic Illicit Song
			--------------------
		         O Devil! Live, do!
			     Revel ever,
			     Droll lord!

Schwartz sends along an improved version of his incantation:
