Subject: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 07:57 AM Inspired by the "How many anagrams of Bill Gates" thread, and the link provided by Bill D on that thread to thisAnagram Generator", I decided to start yet another time- wasting thread, in the tradition of my *Ego-Surfing" one, wherein you discover the most amusing anagrams of your own (Mudcat or 3D) name. By clicking on the link above and inputting my name , I discover that my own name morphs at the 2 word level to modular creamy. At the 3 word level I discovered among others marry douce lama. This made me think immediately of kendall so I input "kendall morse" and I got .....well, you can find out for yourselves. HINT: At the 3-word level and higher, you can get different anagrams by inputting the letters in your name in a different order. So who has the funniest anagram? Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 09:46 AM swirly, go to the link in my first post and type your name in. You have a very fertile name for anagrams ! (For example, on the Titanic theme, how about "racy impacting twinge", or "twiggy mincing captain" ) Murray |

George Bush: He bugs Gore or one of the gems: 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.

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:00 AM It must have taken 1000,000,000 monkeys a long time to come up with that Shakespeare anagram, Wolfgang ..... btw your name gives "hang, flog well" :-) Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:03 AM What you got there is called a PALINDROME, Bob. Congratulations. Murray |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Morticia Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:05 AM Bob, that's called a palindrome. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: GUEST,Nancy King at work Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:25 AM Well, my first try didn't produce anything interesting, but when I added my middle name (Louise) I got, among others: sickeningly ouan skylounge niacin lackeying unions conking uneasily uncoiling sneaky, and unceasingly oink. Great stuff. Cheers, Nancy |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Les from Hull Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:42 AM Well of the many choices that my non-colonial English language anagram maker provides I quite like HMS Full Lore very fitting, for those of you who know about my interest in the sailing Royal Navy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: English Jon Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:06 AM mincy prince gigawatt - there you go, lass. Everyone knows the old Latin Palindrome thing: SATOR AREPO TEMET OPERA ROTAS ("The sower Arepo works with the help of a wheel") Any favourite palindromes out there? I'll Start you off: Never odd or even. EJ |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Wincing Devil Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:15 AM Gee, let me see, if I rearrange the letters in Wincing Devil I get... Those guys on those pages bear an eerie resemblance to each other, plus both pages have links to Mudcat..
How are y'all with Pangrams? (A sentence that uses all of the letters in the alphabet) Here's some of my favorites: Jackdaws love my big sphynx of quartz.

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Mrrzy Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:30 AM A worm in a vile accent... |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:37 AM EJ, that palindrome looks distinctly iffy to me. Admittedly, my Latin is a tad rusty nowadays, but I do know that rotas is the accusative plural of "rota", and that the correct Latin for "of a wheel" would be the genitive singular, rotae. Murray (in hyper-pedantic mode) |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: English Jon Date: 18 Jan 02 - 12:03 PM OK. Wheels it is. EJ |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 12:07 PM Yeah, but in that case the Latin doesn't make any sense, does it? Bit like CAESAR ADSUM JAM FORTI Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: GUEST,Les B. Date: 18 Jan 02 - 12:24 PM Well two that I found interesting were: "Scented bile" and "Ten decibels" (the last appropo for a singer)! |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Ebbie Date: 18 Jan 02 - 12:30 PM I haven't decided yet which I prefer: Vogel Aberrant or Govern Alberta. I quite like Alberta, but the other may be closer to reality. |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 18 Jan 02 - 12:40 PM You certainly aren't anagram material, John :-) Murray |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: M.Ted Date: 18 Jan 02 - 01:09 PM Swirlygirl, are you looking for a wincing,catty, epigram? |
Subject: RE: BS: Anagrams of your name? From: swirlygirl Date: 18 Jan 02 - 01:53 PM A wincing catty epigram will do me just fine thanks.. And EJ's Latin is well off unless it's some sort of later regional medieval thing... sator - fine...well done arepo - never seen it in my life...have no idea what it is! doesn't even look like a name... temet - is probably from temero, are to voiolate, defile etc... opera is not a valid verb, it's a noun. The verb would have to be operat for 3rd pers sg rotas - could be 3rd person sg verb roto, -are to whirl, to turn (like a wheel so I see where that comes from) or acc. pl. wheels He tries his best he does the poor lamb... :) xxx
