Great ones all!

Here's another:

Theophilus thistle, the successful thistle sifter,
Whilst sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Now, if Theophilus thistle, the successful thistle sifter,
Whilst sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb,
See that thou, while sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles
Thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.

Success to the successful thistle sifter!

I still have trouble with...

"The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick"

...forget saying it multiple times, I can't get past once.

Rick, that's a tricky one for me too.

Here's one that never fails - it's a doozy!

Another take on Scott's bug...

Black bugs bleed blue blood but blue bugs bleed black blood.

The veracity of the above statement cannot be gauranteed.

Here we go:

Unique, New York;
Unique, New York;
You know you need...Unique, New York.

To sit in solemn silence on a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison with a lifelong lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.

And here's four I got from Rodney Saulsberry on an NPR interview:

Crooked cookies, cakes and pies;
Crush it, crack it, crapper ties;
Crystal critters cry like mad;
Croaking, choking frogs are sad.

Why in the world would a well want water?
When a well wants water, will a well run dry?
Why in the world a wet well want wet water?
Will a wet well want wet water when a wet well runs dry?

Taste test the tepid tea;
Tea tastes tepid warm to thee;
Tip the the waiter two times three;
Two times three times four times ten;
Go right back and tip again.

Properly pressed, the purple and black pleated plaid pants you own;
Prepare to put your purple and black pleated plaid pants on;
Properly pressed, the purple and black pleated, plaid pants you own;
Now properly dressed in your purple and black pleated plaid pants, begone!
