What are some of the ways to generate/remember passwords?

I just got an email to change my password at work this week.  I dutifully changed it and then coincidentally read an article on Lifehacker on using your password as a reminder.  Very interesting concept that I might use with some modifcations as suggested by the comments to make it more secure.   Who knows?  It might make a difference in my life, too, since I probably type some password or another a dozen times a day.

I used to use a tongue twister in another language translated to English as my password since it had both numbers and letters.  It was very easy to remember and also helped me to learn that language.  Unfortunately, I had to change it because it was too long for many systems. 

Will this work for you?  Any good ideas for how to generate and remember strong passwords?
