I know we’re supposed to be inspired to write a ruby program to do this
but:

Live Nude Girls Just Want to Have Fun in Acapulco

It’s only three titles, but so what.

The buffalo thing is an old linguistics thing. You can make a whole
sentence just from the word buffalo. :slight_smile:

It was actually used in a blog post recently by somebody who was
pointing out that just because something conforms to a language’s
technical requirements for a sentence does not actually make it a
coherent sentence, and using that to explain why confobfuscated code
is a Bad Thing.

Technically loops were disallowed on the original ITA Software puzzles
