    I have to say I am highly impressed with the quality of entries to our contest. There are some really amazing ones coming in. I will probably post them and let site visitors vote on them.

    Can anyone suggest a good online voting javascript for “a lot” of choices?

    Alphabetic pangrams – the next frontier…

    That’s pretty amazing, Hrant. I’m not sure I understand what it means, though.

    It’s about an abacus user who takes over a studio and eyes a former yakuza while doing it. :-)

    Here’s a variant containing an homage to the classic “quick brown fox …”, which I think is still very hard to beat:

    “Abacist’s deaf dog hijacked luminous
    parquetry studio, avows ex-yakuza.”

    BTW, a yakuza is like a Japanese gangster. So the oriental theme both starts and finishes the pangram.
