@freitag Mostly posted it because it's a better example than "had had had had" -- it's both longer and fully self-contained by its repetition of words. It's also debatably a cleverer hack than "Shishi shi..." because it is a parseable sentence using the exact same word eight times, where the Chinese poem is using a pretty broad variety of words with close pronunciations.
Not going to take anything away from "Lion-Eating Poet", though. It's made me go "daaaaamn" every time I see it or hear it.
