Guess who's spending too much time lying in bed with nothing but her netbook for company? Anyway in between reading blogs, playing spider solitaire and of course writing novel 2 I rediscovered my favourite anagram solver site.
I used it for a quiz show that I worked on recently that had an anagram round. Mindless but titillating fun to be had finding anagrams of names and places etc. As an anagram I can be Red Sauna Hanky or A Naked Ashy Urn.
Below are some of my favourite anagrams that I came across while doing the show
1. A two word phrase that has the following anagrams:
Antarctic Clever Toy
Cancel Victory Treat
Carnal Corvette City
Tartan Tricycle Cove
Recontact Rectal Ivy
(Clue - CAR)
2. A classic 1930s film
Entwined Thigh Ow
Hot Whining Tweed
3. What I'm too fond of
Sir Top Carnation
Nip Or Castration
Answers if you haven't worked them out at http://wordsmith.org/anagram/
Has any one got any particularly amusing name anagrams? Hubby's is Brisk Horny Toot!

Well how appropriate. I didn't know you were a fan of Satiric rat porno.
Anon - that'll be because I spelt it wrong - should be 'Nip or Castration', which is obviously 'Satanic Riot Porn'
So sorry to hear you've been/are still so poorly. I do hope you get fixed soon.
I love anagrams. Did you ever read Masquerade? You were supposed to be able to find buried treasure if you solved all the clues and lots of those were anagrams.
Bernadette - thanks. I'm trying to convince myself that I'm slowly improving but I'm still spending most of the day lying down,
Helen - Glad its not just me. No I never read Masquerade but if I'd known about the anagrams I might have done
hello! I'm Suhasini a student from India...I was randomly browsing and I stumbled upon your blog...and I wanted to ask for a little assistance from you..I hope you don't find this annoying or anything.. you see I have a home assignment on the themes of Atwood's poem "Spelling" ..I was working on that and I noticed that you have quoted a part of that poem..and that's the very part which I'm having a little trouble with...by any chance..could you help me?..I don't completely understand the metaphor and I find myself grasping only parts of how it's related to the rest of the poem...but when seen it in its entirety..I'm kinda lost...and since you've quoted it I thought that you must be completely well versed with it :) .. I hope its not any trouble..but I really would appreciate some help..thank you!
