Hey people,
Just recently i was walking on the street, and noticed a bunch of kids... i just heard a bit of their conversation and they were doing tongue twisters, one of the kids had a problem because he couldn't do it and i had a little smile on my face when i saw this... (i couldn't go ahead and laugh as i would be seen as a crazy man)
Anyways im just wondering, do any of you actualy know some tongue twisters... the only one i know is the one about bubble gum.
It goes like this:
The first person says
'Bubble'
Second says
'Double'
They just keep going... slowly then they start going faster until one of them breaks the hole thing my messing up by saying dubble or something like that :P
Anyone have any other tongue twisters?

This one - I think may have come from Robin Williams, or one of his recent movies, but I'm not sure.
Unique New York
Unique New York
I posted that on a forum, suggesting that people try to say it ten times fast. Someone cursed me out (keeping in mind that we all know each other very well - & laughed), someone said "hmmm ditry trick there." In that forum thread, I had even more people laughing with, "uh - did I hear a Unique NewarK???" (Newark is a city in New Jersey & is not very far from New York.)
Also, on instant mesenger, an online friend & I spent hours just coming up with variations on how to destroy it. The most common one was: "unique you nork" ...

Most of the time, we all just laugh, including the one who fouled up.

This is said to be a diction test for would-be radio announcers: To be read clearly, without mistakes, in less than 20 seconds (from Coronet Magazine, August 1948).
I bought a bit of baking powder and baked a batch of biscuits. I brought a big basket back to the bakery and baked a basket of big biscuits. Then I took the big basket of biscuits and the basket of big biscuits with the basket of biscuits that was next to the big basket and put a bunch of biscuits from the basket into a biscuit mixer and brought the basket of biscuits and the box of mixed biscuits and the biscuit mixer to the bakery and opened a tin of sardines.
