Hehe. Cool. Here's another:

"DJ's GNU Partially POSIX Programming Platform Producing Powerful 
Ports and Prodigiously Playable and Productive Programs" -> 
djgppppppppppp

Did I spell `prodigiously' correctly?  Anyway I think I have an 
unfair advantage: my daughter has a book called `Animalia' (sp?) that 
goes through the alphabet doing this sort of thing (`angry alligators 
attacking armoured armadillos', you get the idea), but I didn't look 
in either a dictionary or a thesaurus (sp?) for words or spelling 
(pretty obvious eh? otherwise I whould know how to spell the bloody 
words:)~ ).

That was fun.  Who's going to beat me? Anyone?
Bill
