Can anybody guess what this is:
Tweeze denied beef worker isthmus, winnow Trudy how’s
Know agreed juries during, gnaw Tiffany moss
This talking swear unbided Gemini wit cairn
Hint opus scenic (alas!) sinewy dare.
Unjelled runner nozzle tools smuggling deer butts
Well fission unshoe kerplunks thence endear huts.
Anemometer cur chiffon dyeing mayhap,
Adjust subtle warp reins fairy loin winger snap.
Winnow taunted launderer roast sachet glitter
Ice brine bromide bet deucey woodwinds schemata.
I got this at Service Leadership Camp this weekend. I’ll give you a prize if you can figure it out. Answer to come later…

How the hell!? Have you seen that before? Or did you spend an ungodly amount of time trying to figure it out just so you could see what the prize is? That can’t be..I only posted it a short time ago. You’re smart!

am sooooper jeanyus!
I Googled it so I could put it into context. Once you understand that it’s some seriously geeky humor you just have to read it outloud — and the rhyming scheme jumped out when I tried typical things like looking at 1st words, 1st letters, every other word, and the last words, etc.
So, it rhymes, doesn’t make any sense, but nerds love it. Read it out loud — bingo!

Um…this is the first time I saw this little contest, and I’m quite pissed that Justin is so quick. Anyway…I had no idea what it was..but I could possibly have figured it out.
Damn.

Meh, I check 2 email accounts and about 10 sites centered on domestic and international affairs before I hit the shower in the morning. I just lobbed you and Shannon onto the list.
BTW, did you know that our cousin Heidi runs a Live Journal? It’s here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/iranreallyfar/
I rarely check it actually… but it’s bookmarked.
Bleh, I should be sleeping but this TN Church thing is stressing my head. Must formulate some kinda plan.
