The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

This Week's Contest is based upon an ongoing National Public Radio contest to come up with an "elegant" sentence that uses each letter of the alphabet at least once, to replace the cliched example illustrated above. Now, we don't wish to tread on NPR's tastefully manicured toes, so we will amend our contest rules as such: Create a sentence that uses each letter of the alphabet at least once but that would never be heard on the politically correct, genteel, rarefied air of NPR. Maximum 50 letters; credit will be given for brevity. Here's a brilliant example, written by Washington Post art critic Paul Richard: Bravo, the Jew fixed my zip guns quickly! First- prize winner gets two jars of Trader Joe's Marionberry Spreadable Fruit, donated to The Style Invitational by Steve Offut of Arlington. (We always knew we could count on the erstwhile mayor to turn up in a jam.)

First runner-up wins the tacky but estimable Style Invitational Loser Pen. Other runners-up win the coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt. Honorable mentions get the mildly sought-after Style Invitational bumper sticker. Send your entries via fax to 202-334- 4312, or by e-mail to losers@washpost.com.U.S. mail entries are no longer accepted. Deadline is Monday, Oct. 14. All entries must include the week number of the contest and your name, postal address and telephone number. E-mail entries must include the week number in the subject field. Contests will be judged on the basis of humor and originality. All entries become the property of The Washington Post. Entries may be edited for taste or content. Results will be published in four weeks. No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. The revised title for next week's contest is by Russell Beland of Springfield.

Report from Week CXXXVII, in which we asked you to come up with and describe a commercial product containing a celebrity rhyme. There were a plethora of entries, but relatively few good ones, in part because you kept trying to rhyme, say, "plethora" with "urethra." How tin were your ears? Here's one actual entry: "Regis Philbin Vitamin." Here's another: "Boris Yeltsin Gelatin."
