OK, that title was a bit daft, but it only took me a minute to do. I read a list of much more impressive anagrams recently, and I thought they might amuse you over this holiday time (oops sorry, CHRISTMAS TIME).Clever anagrams...
"Dormitory" - Dirty Room
"Evangelist" - Evil's Agent
"Desperation" - A Rope Ends It
"The Morse Code" - Here Come Dots
"Slot Machines" - Cash Lost in 'em
"Animosity" - Is No Amity
"Mother-in-law" - Woman Hitler
"Snooze Alarms" - Alas! No More Z's
"Alec Guinness" - Genuine Class
"Semolina" - Is No Meal
"The Public Art Galleries" - Large Picture Halls, I Bet
"A Decimal Point" - I'm a Dot in Place
"The Earthquakes" - That Queer Shake
"Eleven plus two" - Twelve plus one
"Contradiction" - Accord not in it
"George Bush" - He bugs Gore
And some even cleverer anagrams...
"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." Anagram: In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Anagram: A thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
"President Clinton of the USA" Anagram: To copulate he finds interns.

ReplyDeleteOops 'burping minuscule' no offence intended.
ReplyDeleteYou started it!
I'm hopeless at anagrams or I would try to think of a really good one out of the house of windsor or something!
ReplyDeleteLOL Tris...Very clever and funny! And just perfect for President Bill. Surely 100 letter anagrams require a computer to compose. I would need that software to solve CH's. Or the one which is apparently a road map of some sort, with place names. I'm really hopeless with anagrams too.
ReplyDeleteSpot on for Alec Guinness, BTW.
As for King Canute. Would the average Briton know about King Canute commanding the tides? If so, they know a lot more about their kings than Americans generally know about the Presidents. I only know it by having recently sat through Dr. Starkey's documentary on the English/British monarchy....LOL.
Munguin 'nourished woofs'
ReplyDeleteNot fair CH... I'M supposed to set them....!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get back tonight, I promise to try to solve them though :)!
They are my favourite type of crossword clue Munguin.
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd enjoy that one Danny. I imagine a programme must have been used for these long one, yes, I can't imagine a little old man sitting there working all that out.
ReplyDeleteI think the average Englishman would not recognise any but the infamous monarchs (Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Richard Lionheart, Canute) because they have been used so often in popular fictions.
Mind you the Scots would be the same about their monarchs... Macbeth!
There you go Munguin... solve that one.
ReplyDeleteOK CH. Even the one where you give us a clue is completely lost on me...
ReplyDeleteSpill the beans!

I gotta find that anagram making software. It's the only way I would have any chance of solving anagrams.
ReplyDeleteHere's one Danny
ReplyDeleteHey cynicalHighlander. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a chance with anagrams. Way cool!
Working on a really clever anagram post now. ;-)
