General anagram thread ~ had a large arrangement!Welcome to the wonderful world of anagrams! An anagram is a word or phrase created by transposing the letters of another word or phrase. For example:
LISTEN
=
SILENT
As you can see, "LISTEN" and "SILENT" each have one E, one I, one L, one N, one S, and one T, so they are both anagrams. One way to think about it is to take Scrabble tiles that spell out a certain word or phrase, and ordering them to make whatever words you can make out of them. Try it yourself with some of the anagrams in this thread!
Here is a quick overview on the "types" of anagrams. An
anagrams is usually meaningful, and has some sort of relation to its base. For example:
The eyes
=
They see.
Some anagrams flow like a sentence or complete thought along with their base. I have found no names for these elsewhere, so I'll just call them
sentence-grams. These are usually signified with ~, as in:
Miss California's
~
as firm as silicon.
The least common variety of anagram is called an
antigram, which is simply an anagram with an
opposite meaning to its base. These are signified with ‡, as in:
The Oscar Nomination
‡
It's not a cinema honor.
To read more on anagrams, including some classic examples, what makes a good anagram, how to make your own, and much more, click here (http://asdf.org/~anna/grams/faq.html). (Technically, that's a FAQ for a Google Group related to anagrams, but it's a helpful resource.)
This will be a thread for posting classic anagrams I find to be good or interesting, as well as having a place for some of my own creations. I will not credit any resource when I find other people's anagrams, as it's hard to trace back the exact roots of many anagrams. I will have a section dedicated to my own creations, though.

- Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
=
I move from very cloudy nights
Obscure as chasm depths immense.
O! I act so proud of my rights
For handing me my own defense.
That, through a dull, confounded life,
My choice would never be to frown.
Through cutthroat battles of my strife,
My constant head cannot come down.
That hollow hole of shattered heads,
All agitate a dreadful fear
That chance will batter you to shreds.
The consequence? I still am here.
Perhaps I can bunch man to be
Unbounded, yet off on the brink.
It's palpable that I am free;
I see that I am what I think.
Rude[spoiler=Not really THAT rude...]
- A-cup breasts = A superb cast.
- Soixante-neuf position = A six on top of nine...use it!

Wow that's a long post O.O. Anyway nice collection you got so far and it's a good move to put them all in the first post. :) (You should add the UK hardcore music ones)
And it's not even complete yet! It'll never be complete, really :P . I'll add anagrams that I find interesting on various online sources, and I'll post my own creations in their own section when I come up with some that are noteworthy.
Okay. It was a pain to scroll thru on my Nokia E63, so maybe you could use some spoiler tags? :)

I have anagrammed, verse by verse, the Ten Commandments, as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20&version=KJV). This is inspired by the wonderful works of Lardy Girl (http://anagrammy.com/literary/group1/poems-ldg.html) and Meyran Kraus (http://www.anagrammy.com/literary/mkraus/poems-mk3.html), but I am using a different version of the Commandments than either of them (Lardy Girl used an abridged, summary-ish version, and Meyran Kraus has used an updated translation).
I have Exodus 20:2 up to Exodus 20:17 successfully anagrammed. I welcome comments, critiques, improvements, suggestions!

| Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. | = | I'd hurt the foolish man that invokes the name of The Lord Almighty on sin, then take that loud villain straight down to Hell. |
| Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. | = | Repel hobby at home; make this day better. |
| Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: | = | Ah, slob! Today, do all hard tasks, with no luxury. |
| But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: | = | However, Saturday's thy total activity rest. No harsh, annoying work then through the day. Don't tend to that thornbush, save thy strength for any other day. Maybe try sitting still. Then, do that thornbush in a month. |
| For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. | = | The Heavenly Father, He has made the whole world, the land, and the odd beasts and birds that inhabited it, in more or less seven days; and He relaxed after the last day. |
| Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. | = | Show that you had loved thy family, thy brother and thy children. Hug them, then hope that they not anger God. |
| Thou shalt not kill. | = | Hunt talk? I'll shoot! |
| Thou shalt not commit adultery. | = | My! Don't touch all that moisture! |
| Thou shalt not steal. | = | Thus, a last loot then. |
| Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. | = | Ah, that honesty fails us...bent lies about things are wrong. |
| Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. | = | Christians, never be envious of an obnoxious man. The things this man has, though they're costly, have no worth. Oh, that is irony! Only stress virtuous things: sharing both truth and honor. |

In English class today, I read a poem called Invictus by William Ernest Henley. I wondered if I could anagram it, because it looked interesting. I hope I did well; I welcome critique.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
=
I move from very cloudy nights
Obscure as chasm depths immense.
O! I act so proud of my rights
For handing me my own defense.
That, through a dull, confounded life,
My choice would never be to frown.
Through cutthroat battles of my strife,
My constant head cannot come down.
That hollow hole of shattered heads,
All agitate a dreadful fear
That chance will batter you to shreds.
The consequence? I still am here.
Perhaps I can bunch man to be
Unbounded, yet off on the brink.
It's palpable that I am free;
I see that I am what I think.
Just how long did that take?!
I only skimmed the anagrammed version, but I'm sure if you presented it to some people to analyze it would still work great ;)

The Invictus anagram? Couldn't have been more than 30 or 40 minutes. The letters mostly cooperated, but some words were a challenge (and I spent a long time trying to fix the problem of one syllable being dropped from a line :P ).
That's a lot of new anagrams, JWinslow23 O.O. I didn't have time to read them yet except parts of the 10 commandments but I'll check them out when I have a chance. :)
Thanks. It's fun making anagrams. It's even more fun when the letters just wanna fit for you. Although, arguably, it's the most fun trying to see how to get the letters to cooperate :P .

I found some amusing anagrams of the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
=
US Flag Code: If seated, stand at attention, face the flag, join in with pride, right hand over the heart. Bicycle police and soldier units in uniform will be obliged to salute.
=
We, inhabiting Americans, to fulfill a solid region, hatch justice, profit placidity, defend, be good and well, and steer in free evolution, signed that rich tablet to the USA.
=
I, B.H. Obama, new leader of the Free World, just one ebony politician, plight to change the racists' sullied attitude, indict infective drug dealers, and also fight inflation.
=
Birth of the Elected
I, Washington,
I, Garfield,
I, Cleveland,
I, Taft,
I, Wilson
I, Johnson,
I, Reagan,
understand the helpful, doubtless attitude of good American liberty.
I accept.
=
Those dirty, flag-waving Republicans
often pander without limit
just to get Bush the oil thief elected again.
Arnold's bold farce election
in California is hated indeed.
=
I promise to be faithful to this country under certain chief regulations and standards, eject ego, and dwell in a high, beloved titbit of wealth, politics, lineage, and life.
=
I, George W. Bush, an evil Republican fascist, used God to inflict pain on the world, end life, facilitate death, create militant jihad rebels, and to let youths die for nothing.
Here's a long one I constructed, based on those anagrams, but updated for the current Republican moroninee.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
=
I, Donald J. Trump, a Republican egotist, shall, if I get voted in office, fight ISIS, change tiny fences built on the southern border to a wall, aid deceit, and alienate the world.
As well, I made an anagram of a trending image macro explaining how Trump was "never once accused of being racist" through his 30 years in the public eye.
(http://www.snopes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/13238893_10208317908318222_6398942136814873933_n.jpg)
"Donald Trump has been in the public eye for over thirty years...and he was never once accused of being racist by anyone until he decided to run against the Democrats."
=
He could conceivably be President of the United States of America, and screw us over. It's already great, you ninny! Don't cheat and beg! He can end! Hurry, Bernie, stop him!

Inspired by the April 2004 Anagrammy winner in the Special category (http://www.anagrammy.com/archives/2004/anag-200404.html#1), I decided I'd make some astrological anagrams! I'm going to take the same source text and anagram it into 12 horoscope-like predictions. I don't know whether or not they'll come true, I'm not an astrologer.
WORK IN PROGRESS!
The art of astrology lies at one level in the construction of accurate profiles of personality and relationship, through the skilled interpretation of symbolic patterns, and in mapping the general tendencies that present themselves over the course of our lives. This is a profoundly developed form of personal analysis, which has influenced modern psychology in its theories of personality and temperament (though in a selective and much simplified form). Astrology also brings a unique form of spiritual guidance, at the level required by individual consciousness according to its level of personal (or soul) growth.

Aries
Mercury, Venus, and the Sun enter many houses, and pilfer hundreds of satellite dish TVs, then allege it's some sort of "accident". Evil snobs.
You're quite a concern, pressuring opposition like the California Panthers in Super Bowl Fifty. It did result in a loss in the end, however, so do not get too hellish.
You never feel bladder discomfort at inappropriate times. Actually, it's never appropriate. I'd suggest to call a doctor.
You'll complain ventriloquism college is involved, so you offer to transfer off as a freshman at Dishcloth College of Peyton Manning. The highlight of sophomore year is launching cream on the principal.
Bump.
I came across this amusing challenge: anagram the phrase "Once and for all, can you give me an educated answer to the question: what comes first, the chicken or the egg?" The results are amazing, and they point in all different directions. I took the best ones and put them here (modified slightly from their original versions). The last two are my own attempts, made just a few minutes ago.
Once and for all, can you give me an educated answer to the question: what comes first, the chicken or the egg?
=
The egg. Whatever a hen's made out of was not normal chicken DNA quite yet, according to the rules of science.
=
Oh, to conclude that old query can make us frenetic.
"Ah," one man voiced, "it was the egg, for the answer's genetic!"
=
When true cooks are concocting a quiche, they add hotter fowl in advance. An omelet means use the egg first.
=
Quite the latter, if two eggs came as an hors d'oeuvre, and coco chicken and mango chutney is the fowl entree.
=
We did watch a "chicken versus egg" footrace. They aren't so equal. Come on, the round thing came in last! (No feet.)
=
After adequately checking some facts, I've announced an answer: "To get to the other side!"
Oh, um...wrong cliche!
=
Ah, too much to ask me. Feels aggravating how the correct cycle isn't found! I needed a hint, can we request one?
=
Now, I'd suggest, reach one closed favor...if each created the other, that cycle's quite an unknown enigma to me!
Bump.
I found these AWESOME anagrams (http://www.shakespeareteacher.com/blog/archives/482) of the "To be or not to be" soliloquy from William Shakespeare's Hamlet. They paraphrase, almost exactly word for word, other sections of dialogue from Hamlet throughout the play. Just...wow.
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,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life...
=
O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
Or that the Everlasting had not set
His precept 'gainst self-slaughter! Rebuke! Rebuke!
How weary, foul, puffed, and abominable
Seem to me the questions of this place.
Fie on 't! O fie! 'tis a once heeded garden,
That's left to pot; the rank and weed in nature
Possess it merely. But he should come to this!
Not four months dead: nay, half as much, but two:
As superior a man; so as, to this step,
Hyperion to a satyr; so caring to my mother
Permit he not beteem the beams of stars
Access her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
=
I have of late, – but wherefore do not seek, – lost all my cheer, ashamed that the oddest mood upsets me so seethingly that our lush frame, at the earth, soon seems to me a detested sterile promontory; this aesthetic roof toasted by stoked mythical golden fire truthfully appears to me therefore as such a both foul and pestilent congregation of bath vapours. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! in theme, how impressive and truthful! in action as an angel! and apprehension as a god! the beauty of the world! the crest of beasts! But, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
=
O! what a rogue and peasant slave am I:
Is't not monstrous that this player here,
Could force his soul so to the best esteem
That from her working feebled all his looks,
Have tears in eyes, add a tempest of bombasts,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to top esteem? and all for nothing!
Frets Hecuba to him for he to tear
That he so pretty sobs? What would he do
Had he not the uttermost cue for passion
As by me? He could drown the stage in tears,
Atone the guilty and appal the free,
Confound the temperate, and to quite impress
The seemly faculties of eyes and ears.
=
How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What's a man,
If his chief hope and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a helpless beast, thou.
Sure he that made us with much large esteem,
He looked from before to after, gave unto us not
That potential and smoothest reason
To fust in us effetely. Whe'r it be
Bestial petty sloth, or some softer scruple
To foresee too precisely on a theme,
A knot, which, quarter'd, hath but one part hero,
And also three parts coward, I see not
Why yet I be to say 'This thing's to do;'
Sith I have cause and lots of strength and means
To do 't.
=
Alas! poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of endless mirth, of most splendid fancy; he hath paraded me on his shoulders a thousand separate times; and now too detested in the greatest depths of my imagination it is! Here hung those lips that I have oft kissed. When be you at fatuous gibes? at gambols? at accents? at those deftest flashes of espoused merriment, that were wont to burst the tables on a roar? But not one to be sped now, to renounce reverence? quite chapfallen? Foot you to my lady's chamber, tell her, let her protest, of this favour she must come; see her laugh at that.
I sadly still didn't have time and energy to read through all anagrams yet (and it doesn't help that I speak French :P) but I did a quick search and was surprised that there seemed to be no anagram of rickroll and AYBABTU :P
Bump.
I decided to take up the art of spamagrams, just for a moment. Spamagrams, for the uninitiated, is the art of anagramming spam messages, often with humorous results. Here is my attempt at anagramming an old spam message from 1995. (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/alt.sports.hockey.nhl.winnipeg-jets/kWVHS07XLHE)
THE KEY TO ORGANIZING YOUR HEALTH RECORDS
"If you care about yourself and your children, you will do everything you
can to know your family's medical history. It can save your life, and the
lives of those who are dear to you." -- Dr. Aubry Milunsky, Director,
Boston University's Center for Human Genetics (Life Magazine, March,
1995).
Your Lifetime Health Planner offers the simplest, most effective way to
take charge of your health. Enter important facts about your health
history, keep a record of the names of medications and their effects,
document each doctor visit and diagnosis. You will have the information
you need, and in the event of an emergency, so will your family.
Your Lifetime Health Planner, 198 pages in a compact, loose-leaf binder,
contains a variety of sections which include "Doctor Visits,"
"Medications," "Family Health History," and "Doctors and Specialists."
The Planner is a must for the busy executive who needs to stay organized,
for seniors who are receiving care and for newborns who need a record of
their health care.
Parents Magazine recommended the Planner to its readers (April, 1994) and
MCI called it "a useful resource in managing your personal health
records." Margie Smotherman, Coordinator, Employee Health and Wellness,
Blue Shield/Blue Cross of Iowa, said: "The employees felt that these
(Planners) were great tools to not only record their pertinent numbers,
but to plan for doctor's visits."

THE SECRET TO ANNOYING YOUR FRIENDS
"Oh god, THAT email again? I hate it! You must be a crazy, ridiculous, oaf if you actually try it anyway. I tried once...never again. Goddamn underhanded heathens...cost me one million dollars...I am STILL not entirely sure how to pay for that. Oh, and I bet that'll also be a testimonial dialogue, too, huh? Huh? Oh ha, how ironic." -- Dr. Woodrow Ifihadapaddle, People for the Offensive Treatment of Spammers (1955-1983)
Your Personalized Spambot teaches a complete, surefire way to frustrate others with underhanded orders to collect money. You tell them it can change their lives forever, yet we realize it can't happen. All the chain messages do is increase concern. You'll concern your family, friends, children, and your children's children, too, for generations to come.
Your Personalized Spambot, 531 pages of pure and corrupt filth, is a reference to the most advanced, inaccurate spam secrets, including "Enlarge Your Penis For Free", "Get Rich Rich Rich In A Year", "The Art of The Long Incoherent Blog Post", and "Actually Selling An Item: How Does It Work?"
When asked about our once-in-a-millenium offer, Horse Crap Monthly simply headlined "the best you can get for your fools, scams, and inane horsec". The Chronicler Chronicle harshly threw it on the ground, gave it a rather neglectful stare, and said "No comment."

I think it took about two hours to do last night. Once I filled in some stuff I needed, it was kinda easy...but not very :P . This is never usually a problem, but there were too many vowels for some reason. My usual problem is too few.
Bump.
My teacher asked me to anagram these actual headlines from the World War I era. I think he'll like the results.
"IT'S WAR!" SAYS THE KAISER
=
Hysteria stirs, awakes.
DESPERATE FIGHTING IS IN PROGRESS IN FLANDERS; POISONOUS GASES ARE USED BY THE ENEMY
=
Germans issue tear gas shots in eyes. They did bring a suffering depression on people.
WORLD WAR ENDS; ARMISTICE SIGNED; KAISER IS OUT; GERMAN REVOLUTION
=
Grim turmoil is a large risk, and now...sides need a truce. Now it's over.
He also gave me a propaganda poster to anagram. I think it's a nice paraphrase.
THE BRITISH EMPIRE STANDS FOR WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY
DEFEND IT
=
THIS ISLAND
PROTECTED, RESPECTED, REFINED
WITH FIRM SEA BOUNDARY
Lol I like them actually. Also for some reasons the original text for the first ones seemed more cryptic than the anagram themselves, assuming the anagrams are meant to have the same meaning as the original text.

I tried my best to paraphrase the headlines. I think I did a pretty good job.
Sometimes, I feel like if you're confused about something, anagrams can reveal a deeper truth in it. Not always, but if done right.
If you're feeling mixed up and you're feeling confused,
mix up the letters, to clear it up for you.
Yeah. Also it's harder for me to read between lines with some text, so the anagrams there rewords the entire thing and it helps :P
Oh, I also did this because I wanted to. Forgive him, this is an ancient view.
I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races .... In the history of earlier centuries these duties, gentlemen, have often been misunderstood; and certainly when the Spanish soldiers and explorers introduced slavery into Central America, they did not fulfill their duty as men of a higher race .... But, in our time, I maintain that European nations acquit themselves with generosity, with grandeur, and with sincerity of this superior civilizing duty.
=
I supply my criticism of one crazy idea I hate: "all men are created equal". I find it amazing, even funny, that people have the angst to say that untrue idea. It is obvious, different races are less evolved than the white race. This is why cultural diffusion is important. Naturally, they turn into severe brutes with inherent unending violence. Their sorry behavior needs to get corrected. Rulers need to hurry up and exercise their high authority to mend the idiotic heathens. Yet, with higher racism, it is easier said than done.
I hope that by ancient you don't mean that this was Donald Trump's former view, but rather the view of ancient US civilization O.O

Just be forever true.
Maybe later, some jubilance
Can jump up by you.
A bit unrelated, but...
Starting from June, the first letters of the months are JJASONDJFMAM. Which could be used to describe a morning DJ on a radio show.

If a loon announced to be a rapist, he'll never face jail time.
Get one normal touch on your girl's boobs alone, though, and it's off to prison.
Ironic, though what sense does that make?
This reminds me Quebec justice system. Some doctor (Guy Turcotte) killed his two kids during high depression and was originally considered non-responsible due to depression. He finally went to jail but at first they almost let him go after he appealed the original decision.
Meanwhile, some guy with no criminal record gets a $150 fine for walking on the grass in a Montreal park.
