- Make a coherent sentence, or paragraph containing all 26 letters of the alphabet. For example: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy brown dog. This is called a "pangram"
- To make sure that you are making your own homemade solutions, you must include THREE names of Mildville citizens from this list: Alex, Amer, Annie, Bigsexy, Brad, Chris, Commando, Deviant, DJ, Erik, Farrell, Fattymcfattzz, Mike, Neutrino, Paula, Peppperettte, Sarah, Son, Stabby, Stinky Pete, True, Tulley, Zac
- The goal is to submit a pangram with the fewest number of letters
- Top three finishers win an extra vote if they're alive, and the ability to cancel out a vote if they're dead. (You don't have to use both your votes on the same person.)

Post answers here or privately?
Also, add the list of names to your post, so people don't change their names.

Great idea. You can post answers here or privately. I'll be sharing all the entries, I can't wait to see the humorous and creative ways people use to shoehorn in letters.

FYI: The count includes only letters; not spaces or punctuation. It should also be only one sentence.
Just for fun: A self-enumerating pangram describes itself. Think about how hard it would be create one of these:
This pangram contains four as, one b, two cs, one d, thirty es, six fs, five gs, seven hs, eleven is, one j, one k, two ls, two ms, eighteen ns, fifteen os, two ps, one q, five rs, twenty-seven ss, eighteen ts, two us, seven vs, eight ws, two xs, three ys, & one z.

This is going to be a fun exercise in "just how tortured can we construct a grammatically correct english sentence."

Neutrino ties with Amer for first. Neutrino had fhe best sentence: Foxy Amer gave Zac buns while DJ kept quiet
35 characters. Stinky pete comes in third with 36 characters. True just finishes out ofthe money with 39 characters.
So pete, neutrino, and Amer all get to nullify a vote this week. Dont forget the second place vote getter(s) will be eliminated, so this could be a cool power
Thanks everyone for playing! I loved all your entries and will share them later.
