can anyone give me a really good anagram (mixing up the letters of words to form
new ones)? i mean, we all know simple ones, like "hot date"-> "the toad", but
can someone come up with some to beat "miss theoretical scientist"-> "this smart
testicle is on ice"? or can you do better with a historical figure than
"klemens von metternich"->
"retch milk, vent no semen" (sorry-that's nasty)?
people who have been playing me lately have discovered my tendency to do this to
their names 🙂 .

This post came close to being removed through fear of deterioration,
but I'm sure it won't get too rude... here's a clean one, a pathetic
attempt...
"Rhymester and Vaknso" -> "Movers, ardent 'n' shaky"
it's genius. did you invent it? although the easiness of the anagram
generally is directly proportional to the number of letters, provided the
vowel density is high. i hope this doesn't deteriorate. it's entertaining.
I did not invent (discover?) it I'm afraid, it was told to me by a friend.
I have several more anagrams somewhere...not as good as that one
though. They are all short two word ones...I'll see if I can find them
when I get a chance.

PS Ooooh. I can remember one off the top of my head (it's probably
quite famous that everyone's heard of):-
Dormitory......................Dirty Room
Evangelist......................Evil's Agent
Desperation...................A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code.............Here Come Dots
Slot Machine..................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
The Earthquakes............That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two...............Twelve plus one
Contradiction..................Accord not in it
one for the poetic history buffs: "Topographical anomaly" --> "Marco Polo gaily nap't".
When smoking a dubie with a friend with an Indian name, one could say I "loaned my vitamins to Rao" (an anagram of "amotivational syndrome" ) I am aware of the grammatical error.
