Thirteen Tongue Twisters
I dare you all to try to say each and everyone of these outloud, and get them right. You get extra points if you do it before your first cup of coffee/tea, shower in the morning. I don't think my tongue will ever be the same.
On a further note, there is still time to participate in Name That Blog. Go on now, what are you waiting for?
- Six sick slick slim sycamore saplings.
- A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.
- Six thick thistle sticks. Six thick thistles stick.
- The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
- Three free throws.
- Tim, the thin twin tinsmith
- The boot black bought the black boot back.
- The boot black bought the black boot back.
- Which witch wished which wicked wish?
- Sarah saw a shot-silk sash shop full of shot-silk sashes as the sunshine shone on the side of the shot-silk sash shop.
- Strict strong stringy Stephen Stretch slickly snared six sickly silky snakes.
- Betty and Bob brought back blue balloons from the big bazaar.
- Give me the gift of a grip top sock:
a drip-drape, ship-shape, tip-top sock.

Wow. Great list, though I am just awful at these. I just get too mad too soon at how fat my tongue can be!!
Happy Thursday.

I do believe #12 to be the easiest! The rest made my tongue tingle! Very fun list! Good thing I had my coffee already! Thanks for visiting!

Everyone's in bed now, so I can't try 'em but they look tough. From experience, the 'S' ones are the hardest.
p.s. thanks for visiting my T13. I've added the linky plug in and so you'll have to go back and add your link, sorry.

I've always been terrible at tongue twisters. These are relly good ones. I'll have to get my hubby to read this, he loves doing them. Thanks for visiting my TT. Have a wonderful Thursday. Be Well...

#5 was about the only one I could actually do with little problem...those were good ones!

In response to what a scrapbook version of Monopoly is:
Hubby and I collect different versions of Monopoly. There is a Star Wars version, Garfield version, etc. I want to make a version that is scrapbook-related. Each of the properties would have something to do with scrapbook (such as paper, stickers, die-cuts, etc.). And so on. :-)

Posted by: ashley at June 1, 2006 11:19 AM
I think I need a drink or six before I can say any of these! Just when I finally got the one about Betty making her bitter batter better.... sheeeeesh!
Posted by: melli at June 1, 2006 11:29 AM
Whew, major tongue twistage there! Gotta love it though! Helps you pronounce things better after you do it! My list is up!
Posted by: EmilyRoseJewel at June 1, 2006 11:35 AM
Yikes, it's hard for me to even read these!
Posted by: Geggie at June 1, 2006 12:06 PM
LOL... these are great! My kids and I tried a few of them out - thanks for the laughs!
I used to lisp as a child so this kind of stuff is especially hard for me.
Happy TT!

LOL those are some tough ones, for sure!
Posted by: Janet at June 1, 2006 4:55 PM
Niiiice! :)
Reading them aloud isn't so bad if I'm allowed to do it slowly enough, just don't ask me to say ANY of them ten time fast!!
Thanks for stopping by my 13 today, too, and for the kind words!
Posted by: Momma Bee at June 1, 2006 5:14 PM
Hi Moogie. Thanks for leaving a comment on my first T13 ... just wish you'd left a link .... I have just searched every blog you've ever had to find your list ..... this is no 5 or 6!! I wil get your link on sometime today. Can't think straight after reading your T13!
Posted by: Lesly at June 1, 2006 6:00 PM
These are so much fun! Reading them is even tough. #2 and 9 are my favorite, I'll have to show them to my husband. Have a great Thursday!
Posted by: Christine at June 1, 2006 8:36 PM
Just like puzzles; I'm no good at tongue twisters either. But what a neat idea for your list! :-)
Posted by: PixiePincessMom at June 1, 2006 10:50 PM
Wow. Incredible. I have no words cuz my brain is frozen from just trying to read them...I know I couldn't say them outloud! That was fun!
Posted by: Mickey's Wife at June 1, 2006 11:35 PM
This is some serious alliteration! I just love these tongue twisters, but these really got me.
Posted by: Pink Chihuahua Princess at June 2, 2006 11:55 AM
My tongue's in a knot, come untie me!
What a fun 13 Moogie!
MyThirday Thirteen is up!
Posted by: LibertyBelle at June 2, 2006 7:47 PM
That was fun. :) I learned a cool one ages ago in a drama class...something about noisy oysters.
Okay I Googled it and here it is: Any noise annoys an oyster but a noisy noise annoys an oyster more. :)
