For part one of this thread go to BORING KNOWALLS

As anagrams have already been brought up can I suggest the thread title (now anagran-ised itself) may contain some clues as to the character of Mr Harmoniclive???

Guessing he realy wants to compliment Bob, and Bob does sometimes use the other diminutive of Robert we find "All-Knowing Robs". Praise indeed.

I think however we may be nearer the mark with "Allis WrongKnob" if anywhere near "Allis" Spings that is??? If, however he is nearer Espana we can find "Signor Wallknob".

Fed up of BritHumour 'knob' jokes? OK - perhaps he is realy the famous Scandanavian gay porn star, Larson Blow King.... Guessing he cannot actualy find sexual partners however I think "Wanks roll in bog" may be better.

My favourite, however, summing up the attitude of a remote flamer...

No Balls Working....

Enjoy

Anyone fancy having a go with harmoniclive? Easiest so far is Evil Harmonic - may be apt? We can get Monica H Liver or Lone Vicar Mich but nothing realy suitable?

Go on - you know you want to....

How do people do those anagrams? I can't ever think up an anagram. Must be in the brain wiring, eh?

Oh. Cheating. I would never stoop so low. How did people do anagrams before there were computers? Hmm? Some people seem capable of just spinning them out like so much thread. Amazes me.

I don't like to brag (only because I'm too modest), but A letter I wrote to Computer Weekly magazine (that's a Trade mag, not a nerd mag, BTW) prompted a cartoon of moi with the caption "Strictly speaking, I'm a knowall, not a pedant". (It was a good likeness, too, except for the moustache.) How many Mudcatters have that kind of distinction, eh?

Hey, that's not an anagram. Where did the other "N" go?

BORING KNOWALLS

SIR KNOWALL GOB

First has 2 N's; second has only 1.

I will admit to being a pedant.

Alex,
would you consider it cheating if I locate requested for lyrics on the web instead of transcribing and typing them myself? We are in a new age now where we use computers with intelligence and restraint. And computers never err on the number of N's.
You even can ask the anagram finder to incorporate a certain word in the solutions. In the case of harmoniclive you might want to see the word 'macho' in the solutions or the word 'vice' or the word 'civil' (like e.g. in 'He no a Mr Civil'; yes, I cheated).

Of course, one has to be able to read in order to use the cheater and not like I did above in my before last post: 'fuc a mad etc' would have been a correct reading of what the machine presented to me.

From: Snuffy

Yah Boo Sucks is a not very polite expression, meaning something like "put that in yer pipe and smoke it" or "I am right and you are wrong. So there!"

You had said Praise's new name was unanagrammable and Steve gave you an anagram of Praise.

But Steve didn't know you meant "WYSIWYG" not "Praise". So you were right and can tell Steve "Yah boo sucks to you, too!"

Well if you fellas are really stuck for something to do, look up the thread where I announced my name change and anagram all the different names I used to sign each post. You should have quite a time. They were things such as Silky Flutters, Slip Gizmo, and Hadme Nuffadat Sheet. (Then there is my other membership, The Sugar Dog.) Don't do it in that thread though-- start an anagram thread. People don't know the fun we are having here.

Wolfie:

Using a computer to create anagrams is "cheating" because an anagram is a mind-teasing type of puzzle, the point of which is to try to use your mind to come up with the scramble. It's like using a computer to fill out a magic number square. It's kinda pointless.

In looking up lyrics for people, the point is coming up with the lyrics, not doing it from memory or typing by hand.

mousethief, I'm with Wolfgang on this one. Not letting us "cheat" by using internet help is like telling a math class they can't use calculators. Sure, there is a place for mental calculations and knowing HOW to do long division of decimals...but we can do more higher level creative thinking when we are released from "chores" which we may not be good at, or just have a roadblock, or just don't want to spend time doing.

Can we decode a name when we're given the scrambled version? For instance, my 'real' name comes out, among others, as 'Barren Voltage', 'Granola Brevet', 'Altar Bog Nerve', 'Long Beaver Rat' and my personal favorite: 'Large Bear Vent'.

'Ill Egg Axer', or 'Glee Girl Ax', have you checked yours?

Harmoniclive =

Civil hero man. (I think we can rule that one out.)
Evil Monarch I. (Maybe, but he's not the first.)
Hove criminal. (Lives near Brighton?)
I love in March. (Maybe that's the mating season of his species.)
I'm china lover. (Collects rare porcelain?)
I'm vile Charon. (Paddling in the Styx?)
Live rhino cam. (Can't stop watching the critters?)
Mr. Vice in halo. (Like a wolf in sheep's clothing?)
O evil rich man! (Somehow I don't think he's rich.)
Rich loam vein. (Where he gets his ideas?)
Vile choir man. (Always groping the sopranos.)

Yeah, I got the anagrams from http://www.AnagramGenius.com/, but the fun consists in trying to think up plausible explanations.
