Anna's 'grams

anna grams anna grams anna grams

This is a repository of a few of my anagrams, many of them from posts I've made to the alt.anagrams newsgroup. Since tastes vary, you'll undoubtedly find at least some anagrams here that leave you cold, but there should be something here that will yield at least a chuckle.

In each section that isn't arranged in time order anyway, anagrams that I've added since the last update have a 'NEW:' in front of them (and an arrow pointing to them). The Lardbucket was last updated on 15 March 2011.

Fascination with anagrams = Fanatic has mania. It's wrong!

The anagrams are divided into these categories:

• Current events in anagrams
  - anagrams concerning major news stories of recent years


• Longer anagrams:
  
  • Song lyrics
    - songs anagrammed into parodic lyrics, biographies, poems, etc.
  
  
  • Other long anagrams
    - anagrams of recipes, official US instructions on what to do in the event of a 'terror attack', etc.
  
  

• Anagrams concerning weird or offbeat news
  - mostly anagrams of names of dumb criminals, with summaries of the related claim to infamy


• Computer- and technology-related anagrams
  - operating systems, error messages, etc. (most of these aren't that geeky; don't worry) that are too short for the 'longer' section


• 'Spamagrams'
  - anagrams of unsolicited advertising etc. (subject lines and entire spams) posted to alt.anagrams (some contain strong language directed at spammers)


• Silly anagrams
  - some are non sequiturs, and others simply present unusual or bizarre associations


• Proper nouns' anagrams
  - treatments of things such as place names, company names, and titles of films


• A few anagrams related to music
  - some general and some related to specific rock bands (anagrams of songs are in the 'longer' section)


• Miscellaneous anagrams
  - grab bag, things that don't fit elsewhere in the bucket


• A few real-ale- and single-malt-whisky-related anagrams
  - what it says


• Just a few anagrams related to Formula One motor racing
  - a couple of drivers' names and some specific incidents of the last few years


• Anagrams that could be considered risqué or tasteless
  - some sexually oriented, others just crude (arranged roughly by increasing likelihood of causing offence)


• Anagrams related to alt.anagrams
  - anagrams of new posters' names and anagrams referring to the group or its denizens in some other way
