    I know this is a really old thread but, to avoid building a random foul word generator, there's an easy method to do this.

    SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(36),NEWID())+CONVERT(CHAR(36),NEWID()),'-','')

    p.s. This does sound like an interview question.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
