There is a wonderful song in Singin' in the Rain called Moses Supposes. It is a bit of tongue twisting trickery to help the male lead improve his elocution for the transition from silent films to talkies.
Moses supposes his toeses are Roses,
But Moses supposes Erroneously,
Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses,
As Moses supposes his toeses to be!
Well, why not have a Moses Supposes event at your next Potluck? People can choose their own tongue twister for solo or ensemble competitions. There are plenty of tongue twisters available on the Web. (For example: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/tongue-twisters-for-adults.html) A prize can be awarded to the most dextrous and accurate of recitations - perhaps the Order of the Twisted Tongue?
