That's almost as bad as "Ozymandias" set to All Star by Smash Mouth

Fucking CHAD!
Of course he's free to do as he pleases! Of course that bitch Columbia likes all the bad countries who'll just spread their terrorism to her. But a Nice Country like us? Pfft. Of COURSE not. We had a trade deal - doesn't that obviously mean we had a special relationship? We even share a border! I mean, that obviously makes us close by default! It was meant to be! But now she won't even look at us, telling us the deal's off and to go away.
FUCKING CHAD.

Re: Hot Tweets Cool Treats
Probably one of my favourite versions of this meme I've seen besides the Seinfeld one.
Re: Hot Tweets Cool Treats
A quick jaunt to wikipedia...
"Jived fox nymph grabs quick waltz." (28 letters)
Short, but nearly incomprehensible. 2/10.
"Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf." (28 letters)
Just as short as previous, but contains glib jocks and a vexed dwarf. Superior. 6/10.
"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." (29 letters)
One letter longer, but rad as fuck. 9/10.
"How vexingly quick daft zebras jump!" (30 letters)
Sentence reads in my head as British accent, contains the word "daft", and "zebras." Solid. 7/10.
"The five boxing wizards jump quickly." (31 letters)
Starting to get longer and therefore points deducted, but easy to remember, sounds normal, and contains boxing wizards. 6/10.
"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." (32 letters)
The longest, but also the most likely to actually be said out loud in real life. 8/10.
Result: Sphinx wins, but Liquor jugs is a close second. If British, Daft Zebras best.

Glum Schwartzkopf vex'd by NJ IQ
also the tweet uses 'jumped' instead of 'jumps', which is both longer and incorrect

If someone had told me two days ago that NDT was about to get stone-cold ice-burned by Merriam-Webster...
... actually, hm, I might have believed it. That's just the way things are these days.

A horrifying number of teachers insist on the former because that's what the book says.
