Not always right, but no fool either
Posted
Now for something different.

I love anagrams (the rearranging of letters in a name or phrase, using all the letters and none extra to come up with a new name or phrase).

The best anagrams relate directly to the name or phrase being rearranged.

Do this often enough, and you almost see god.

Here are a handful:

A decimal point = I'm a dot in place

George Bush = He bugs Gore

Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind = A thin man ran, makes a huge stride, left planet - pins flag on moon - on to Mars!

Another of my favorites:

To be or not to be: that is the question; whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune =

In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

Hemingway once told a friend he was considering giving up writing. "But Ernest," the friend protested. "You love writing!" "No," corrected Hemingway. "I love having written."

This may be sort of cheating, but I've found this website to be quite helpful:

http://wordsmith.org/anagram/


"A movie is not good because it arrives at conclusions you share, or bad because it does not. A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it: about the way it considers its subject matter, and about how its real subject may be quite different from the one it seems to provide."
- Roger Ebert, from the introduction to "Awake in the Dark" (2006)

My name spelled out (seven forty-two) yields interesting results:

- Vote Yet Frowns (how I felt after I voted for John Kerry Cool)

- Vetoes Fry Town (Not true! Fry Town sounds delicious)

Just a suggestion: What if we leave a phrase then the next poster can make an anagram of that and leave another phrase for the next poster-or is that too hard?

Can I just get a credit for telling Ouch! Win Pig the anagram? I gave it via gchat last night! Mine is boring... Concrete Beards. I also like "banter coerced" because I sound like I'm forcing others into witty and fast conversation.
