Day 110: Pangramania

A pangram is a sentence containing every letter of the alphabet at least once. They're used in typing and fonts and other situations where you want to make sure each letter is included. Most people are familiar with this one: The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

For some reason, I've decided to compile a bunch of my favorite pangrams, maybe for future use in trying out different kinds of decorative lettering. Or maybe just because I'm weird that way.

1. Whenever the black fox jumped the squirrel gazed suspiciously.
2. Jaded zombies acted quaintly but kept driving their oxen forward.
3. Fake bugs put in wax jonquils drive him crazy.
4. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
5. Kvetching, flummoxed by job, W. zaps Iraq.
6. A quick movement of the enemy would jeopardize six gunboats.
7. Six big juicy steaks sizzled in a pan as five workmen left the quarry.
8. The big plump jowls of zany Dick Nixon quiver.
9. Blowzy red vixens fight for a quick jump.
10. The explorer was frozen in his big kayak just after making queer discoveries.
11. A quizzical gawking child scampered forth, vending bijoux.
12. Cozy sphinx waves a quart jug of bad milk.
13. How quickly I am vexed by daft jumping zebras.
14. While Suez sailors wax parquet decks, Afghan Jews vomit jauntily abaft.
15. The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
16. The job requires extra pluck and zeal from every young wage earner.
17. Ebenezer unexpectedly bagged two tranquil aardvarks with his jiffy vacuum cleaner.
18. Watch "Jeopardy," Alex Trebek's fun TV quiz game.
19. Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.
20. By Jove, my quick study of lexicography won a prize.
21. A mad boxer shot a quick, gloved jab to the jaw of his dizzy opponent.
22. Jinxed wizards pluck ivy from the big quilt.
23. A quart jar of oil mixed with zinc oxide makes a very bright paint.
24. The public was amazed to view the quickness and dexterity of the juggler.
25. The job of waxing linoleum frequently peeves chintzy kids.
26. Foxy diva Jennifer Lopez wasn't baking my quiche.
27. Wolf zombies quickly spot the jinxed grave.
28. The July sun caused a fragment of black pine wax to ooze on the velvet quilt.
29. A quick chop jolted my big sexy frozen wives.
30. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

That last one's my favorite, although I do enjoy concise sentences about zombies.

At first, I had planned to write some of my own original pangrams, but it's Wednesday, and that's just not going to happen.
