Desperation = A rope ends it
The Morse code = Here come dots
Snooze alarms = Alas! No more Zs
A decimal point = I'm a dot in place
Astronomer = Moon starer
Fir cones = Conifers
The eyes = They see
Payment received = Every cent paid me
Conversation = Voices rant on
The public art galleries = Large picture halls, I bet
Election results = Lies – let's recount
Halley's Comet = Shall yet come
The Hurricanes = These churn air
And now for some celebrity anagrams...
Elvis = Lives
Clint Eastwood = Old West action
Florence Nightingale = angel of the reclining

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. Willow made such a fun evening for all of us! I love that your date was Don Knotts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog. I work with students who have Autism, so I respect your situation tremendously. I will be back!
Otin ~ I cracked up at that first one, too!
ReplyDeleteAs I was sitting here reading the list I kept thinking, "Who comes up with this stuff?" Seems my thoughts aren't far from yours.
ReplyDeletethere are some pretty freaky similarities or truths behind some of those...
ReplyDeleteWT really likes the first one.
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole time I was reading those I wondered if you had come up with them yourself! I suppose not after the last thing you wrote. They made my brain hurt, but the first one was awfully funny.
ReplyDeleteThis was interesting! Such a play with letters, very clever. Did you make those up yourself?
ReplyDeletexo
I'm glad I don't have a job as an Anagram Developer!
ReplyDeleteOh, no...I did not make these up! Good grief...I'm not that clever! hee!
ReplyDeleteI've not read these all. I remember the first time i came across one and noticed it as such was for Elvis Lives. Odd. I love the morse code one too.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think, Mr Toast is To Trams! Hmmm,, and there I am needing a car. Quite funny really.

ReplyDeleteThese are hysterical! great post :)
ReplyDeleteOh, these are fun. Yikes, the desperation one, though! It is amazing how you can define them using the same letters. That would be a fun game, to see what you could come up with.
ReplyDeletethis is fun. mine is unlike jig. i'm trying to figure out if that means i'm not likely to dance or if it means i'm not like to tamper with things. hee hee
ReplyDeletebtw, i'd love a piece of that pecan pie you have on your sidebar! yum!!
