oh..a storm is threat'ning my very life today....

If I don't get some shelter.....Oh yeah...I'm....Well..we all need

someone we can lean on and if you want it..you can lean on me.......

[Liamtyr]

I use this one most often now...

 

We Hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

What a great topic! I'm growing tired of "quick brown fox" and writing the alphabet in cursive. Seeing all these creative test phrases is tempting me to find one of my own. I had fun seeing how creative you all are.

[Yaakova]

I tend to alternate between the opening lines of Poe's Raven and the first stanza of Carroll's Jabberwocky. Or, I use the opening lines from a poem by Leonard Nimoy. (Yes, that Leonard Nimoy.) "You knock upon my mind, and you beg to borrow a cup of wisdom. You've come to seek the truth, to ask me where it's at ... "

Or some gibberish.................................................................................

ramble on and now's the time..the time is now..I'm goin' 'round

the world take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship...I'm

not sleepy..you better kiss me..your gonna miss me....blood's

so mad feels like coagulatin'...though it was a nightmare..told me

don't go walkin' slow..devil's on the loose better run through the

jungle..time has come today..to kill is no thrill..is it tomorrow or

just the end of time It's all over...Breakfast where the news is read

Television Children Fed...took 'em twenty fives to welcome me back

But..it's better than not coming back at all...every day is Christmas..

Drive On don't mean nothin'..look inside myself and see my heart is

black...don't go around tonight..well..it's bound to take your life

there's a bad moon on the rise..can't get No satisfaction...and I

try and I try and I try..wait till the night things get scary..............

[Freddy]

I'd love to change the world..But..I don't know what to do so I'll

leave it up to you...<hear the riff>

Mine is: How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!?

[byggyns]

I've now started to use the poem "Eldorado" by Poe if I want to fill an entire page.

[mwester]

I prefer the following:

 

Now is the time for all good men to pay their bars tabs.

[Kuhataparunks]

"I have seen the seeds of Fire that will prepare the Sodom Below for the coming of The Lord."

 

"The seed of the prophet shall burn in flame the mountain of man."

 

Haha, I found those quotes funny so writing them is fun, but they in no way reflect any of my beliefs just a disclaimer!!

[Lyander0012]

Mine is: How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!?

 

Excellent one! I'm proud to have recognized those lyrics XD

[Liamtyr]

I have started using a new test phrase and I really like it. I hope you folks like it too.

 

"Listen! We have heard tales sung of the Spear-Danes,

the glory of their War-Kings in days gone by,

how princely nobles performed heroes deeds!"

[Dalimar]

My test phrase;

 

"This is a test. This is only a test. Should this have been a real emergency you would have been instructed to bend over backwards and kiss your @$$ goodbye."

 

Namaste,

Dalimar

At the present time....

Today...................................................Thursday August 28

 

Fred

you load sixteen tons

what do you get

another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me..cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store..I was born one

mornin' it was drizzlin' rain..

both fightin' and trouble are my middle name........

If you see me comin' better step aside..

A lot of men didn't.................................................

Yesterday, upon the stair

I met a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today,

I wish, I wish he'd go away...

To sit where I can see your face

And hear your laughter come and go

Is greater joy than all the gods

May ever know.

[VanRocket]

Without purposely deciding on it, when I want to write to test a pen I go with the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

 

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

...

 

 

I can fill most of a page from that monologue and I think it is fun to see how far I can get from memory.
