Martin Gardner died last weekend, aged 95. He wrote the original "Fish and and, and and and "And"..." sentence, using "and" 21 times in a row. The Language Log thread comments include an expansion of that sentence to "and" 71 times in a row.
First time I came across the Buffalo buffalo was on this thread. Took me a solid 20 minutes. The Cockney with the Hand and Androgynous Goat example is brilliant.

Imagine if that person was standing in an echo chamber.
What would it sound like he was saying?

try this:
Mice cats chase eat cheese. (Mice, that are chased by cats, eat cheese.)
Dogs dogs dog dog dogs. (Dogs, that are dogged by dogs, dog other dogs)
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. (Buffalo, that are buffaloed by buffalo, buffalo other buffalo.)
then add the extra Buffalo-NY
Buffalo-NY buffalo, Buffalo-NY buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo-NY buffalo
and so
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

if we could change the binomial name of the buffalo from bison bison to buffalo buffalo we could probably construct a sentence that works as a mental weapon of mass destruction.

Mine is completely different from ledge's despite having the same words :/
A bison from Chicago that has a tendency to bash is a Chicago bash bison. Sometimes they bash each other. Therefore Chicago bash bison bash Chicago bash bison.
Now I can't understand Ledge's, and I did a minute ago.
