19 Feb 99 - 09:48 PM (#59327) Subject: Anagrams for folk music-FUN! From: katlaughing Hey, gang. Just thought this might be a fun one to start.
received this by email the other day, might get you all to thinking, then....see what you can come up with, relevant to folk music! BTW, "mudcat" is a toughie!
"An Anagram, as you all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are exceptionally clever. Someone out there either has way too much time to waste or is deadly at Scrabble.
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
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
Eleven plus two Twelve plus one
Contradiction Accord not in it
This one's truly amazing:
"To be or not to be: that is the question, whether its nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
And the Anagram:
"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero,Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten."
And for the grand finale:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong
The Anagram: HAVE FUN! kat |

13 May 03 - 06:45 AM (#951631) Subject: RE: Anagrams for folk music-FUN! From: Dave Bryant A chap called Lawrence Heath used to draw a cartoon strip called "Borfolk" in "Southern Rag", the predecessor of "Folk Roots". Well known performers were usually referred to by anagrams of their names. I can remember that the late Peter Bellamy became "Elmer P. Bleaty" and Strawhead became "Wardeaths". Strawhead nade a record with the "Northern Brass Consort" and there was an amazing one of "Wardeaths with Terror Horns" plus some other word(s) which I can't work out - any ideas. |
