I just realized what this reminded me of... the old http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Announcer's_test]"Radio Announcer's Test":
---------
Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
Quote: * One hen-- Bob
* Two ducks
* Three squawking geese
* Four limerick oysters
* Five corpulent porpoises
* Six pair of Don Alversos tweezers
* Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
* Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt
* Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
* Ten lyrical, spherical diabolical denizens of the deep who hall stall around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivery, all at the same time.
