Who can you turn to?
Do you know the measures to take to protect you and your family?
If you do not know, you are not alone!
The BioChem Survival Manual Has the answers that you will want and will need to protect, you and those you care about!
The Survival Manual contains information taken directly from the Military's Nuclear Biological Chemical Training Manual, THE Manual used to teach military personnel how to prepare, prevent, identify, protect against and survive an attack.

COULD YOU SURVIVE A SPAM ATTACK?
Unwanted and uninvited electronic circulars are not only very wearisome, monotonous, often hideous, inane and highly annoying, but commonly overload and ruin your computer. Thus, you need the SPAM SURVIVAL MANUAL!
1. Take a note of each annoying violation.
2. Attempt to ask each ISP to kindly inactivate each weak-minded, unmannerly irritant's account.
3. Note the total futility of the above.
4. Phone your attorney.
5. Sulk.
6. Wildly throw random articles across the room.
7. Cut up your computer's modem or cable.
8. Wantonly shatter your monitor with a hatchet, or a small cannon if available.
9. Last, annihilate your hard drive by playing frisbee with it.
10. You are now totally SPAM FREE, guaranteed!

A spam received by a.a. (CRUDE LANGUAGE) -- Joe F., 10:01:26 05/20/02 Mon
You are no doubt asking "What is this inquiry doing on this news group, which has nothing to do with sex?"
But this is precisely why this type of news group was chosen for this scientific investigation. We want to gather information from ordinary males who are not overly preoccupied with sex, be it heterosexual, homosexual, or pedosexual. We want to get, as much as is possible, a
world wide, longitudinal, and to some degree cross cultural set of data. So we ask your open minded consideration of our request, and we ask the indulgence of your webmaster in facilitating this research project by allowing this post to remain.
If you are male, and would like to contribute to this research please go to:
http://shfri.addr.com/w2/wae.html
Thank you for contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge about the sexuality of boys.

So, nitwit maniac fool, do I understand now or do I not? You are looking for "ordinary males who are not overly preoccupied with sex", but you post this message on *this* newsgroup?! You are a fat anal shithead if you think that we, who insist on using such sexual words in our work, are not a totally sex obsessed lot! Words like fuck, shit, cunt, bitch, anal - sex, tosser, laid, screw, threesome, panties, poof and blowjob! If I can recommend reading the rude section of the archives at www.anagrammy.com, which until quite recently were fed by this group (not now though). For example, here are 2 masterpieces of wit to show. One by Lardy....
Clit - piercing = Clip it, cringe!

I wandered lonely as a cloud... -- Jaybur, 07:50:36 05/17/02 Fri
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and--gazed but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Ah, few cannot have read Wordsworth's beautiful lines. I can, in anagram, tell a genuine story behind his musings. He wasn't alone (I checked up), but with a woman, his sister Dorothy; who, we hear, jotted stuff in a diary at the time.
It had been a misty day with little sun, when they set out on their walk after lunch. The couple left a lane to avoid cows, seeing tiny violets, hidden below a hedge.
Then...they both stopped. Oh, those enchanting fabled flowers! A sight that dazzled them, indeed!
Ah, but all can change. Recently, odd, big ones were sighted: *cultivated* blooms. (One needs an investigation to check this report's authenticity.) Oh God, what a shocking scandal! An idyll, thoughtlessly vandalized by human hooligan hands!
Our England's perfect, an ideal, green and pleasant land. Oh, with duff daffs.

Why does the page look different? -- Larry Brash, 01:44:05 05/16/02 Thu
You will notice that the hyperlinks are no longer underlined and now have a different font.
Richard and I have discovered the joys of cascading style sheets, a script language that allows control of fonts and other aspects of web design. I think it looks better.
Also, we have been using "javascript includes" (include is a noun not a verb in this context), a way of automatically inserting text into part of the webpage, for example the footer. This means if we want to change the footer, we change one file, not all 200+ webpages.

Blake's 'The Clod and the Pebble' -- Mey K., 08:41:47 05/14/02 Tue
The Clod and the Pebble
William Blake
'Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair.'
So sung a little clod of clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet,
But a pebble of the brook
Warbled out these metres meet:
'Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven's despite.'
=
The Bottle and the Faulty Bell
Mey K.
"God fathers us - it is His job.
He blesses and protects us all;
And with his beneficent love
Absolves the Fallen, faithless souls."
Thus tolled a loud, melodic bell -
Then interfered one little croak
As (throat obese with a Moselle)
The bottle its opinion spoke:
"*We* fathered God, to keep it safe:
'To be absolved, believe and pray';
Hence Fallen one is not depraved -
*Entire Earth* has gone astray."
Later,

I like your version. Anyway the reason I like my posted anagram is because most of the situations in life where you *know* something's not right, but you can't learn from the situation , are when you find yourself running in circles.
To get some food you have to work but you cannot work because you're too weak.. Stuff like that also happens in computer software, anagramming efforts ;),..
And of course, once you go beyond the point of no return, when you complete one cycle, there is no way out.
So, I was saying..

Yeah, adding "the" isn't always advisable. Perhaps "A bad hair day = Ay, had a braid!", but that's not perfect either.

THE WINNERS - SPECIAL -- Larry Brash, 23:54:53 05/09/02 Thu
Only three starters here. We may well have to combine the long categories into one if this trend continues. Despite this the entries were all of good standard and all automatically win an award, but it will be Richard's first place that will go into the Grand Anagrammy Awards in January.
Richard had 2 wins this month, 6 for the year and 104 all up.
Adrian had 2 wins for the month, also 6 this year and 17 all up to get him into the Top Ten on the All Time Winners Board.
Allan Morley has had 3 wins this year, 7 all up, putting him in the Top Twenty.
1st. Richard Grantham with: 53
[A poem by Edgar Allan Poe.]
2nd. Adrian Hickford with: 46
"Katherine"

'Madonna Mia' -- Mey K., 02:25:29 05/10/02 Fri
Below is a (more or less) paraphrase anagram of Oscar Wilde's 'Madonna Mia', which is also an acrostic - reading down each first letter of a line reveals the author. However, that's not all: Reading down each one-before-last word of each line reveals a fitting quote, also by Wilde.
(The anagram is presented twice, for both displays.)
Madonna Mia
A Lily-girl, not made for this world's pain,
With brown, soft hair close braided by her ears,
And longing eyes half veiled by slumberous tears
Like bluest water seen through mists of rain:
Pale cheeks whereon no love hath left its stain,
Red underlip drawn in for fear of love,
And white throat, whiter than the silvered dove,
Through whose wan marble creeps one purple vein.
Yet, though my lips shall praise her without cease,
Even to kiss her feet I am not bold,
Being o'ershadowed by the wings of awe.
Like Dante, when he stood with Beatrice
Beneath the flaming Lion's breast, and saw
The seventh Crystal, and the Stair of Gold.
=
A Highest Poem to a Neat Feminine Sweetheart by an Honorable writer
Pale Flower belle, defenseless from the brawls
Of Earth, her flowing locks brushed only while
Elusive glances, in a way puerile,
Thread 'round me, as the river tends to crawl;
Outstanding baby-skin which shan't get old,
Shy, mannered mouth unlined to rid esprit,
Chest ashen as swan-feathers - Oh, of it
A sharp engraver'd hope to get a hold...
Regardless of how big temptation is
Within - to have and marry her is what
I never will be brave enough to vow.
Like those who bid the blithe nymph to yield at
Dark forested lands, I'll bid her to ease
Elusiveness - I can't afford it now.

THE WINNERS - INTRODUCTION -- Larry Brash, 23:43:50 05/09/02 Thu
As the Anagrammy Awards entered their 5th year, the awards underwent a dramatic and somewhat painful change of direction with its breakaway from the alt.anagrams newsgroup. There has been much discussion about this and I do not intend to add any more to this, except to say that I hope that the Awards will continue in their new forum.
The Forum has had approximately 300 posts in 3 weeks, and I would like to thank all those who have supported this new venture by posting to the Forum and for voting in the Awards.
We had 31 voters (plus one whose votes were received after the voting was officially closed). We expected a big drop in voting following last month's record turnout of 50 and the schism. If there had been less than 20 voters, we would have considered folding up the Awards .
32 voters was therefore very gratifying. Many of our most trenchant critics have not voted in many months and their absence was not the cause of the voter drop. It is the drop in the number of voting lurkers that is the main cause for concern.
I am strongly reconsidering whether to announce the opening of voting in alt.anagrams. As one member pointed out this sort of announcement is *on-topic* for an anagram newsgroup.
[306]
[> Re: THE WINNERS - INTRODUCTION -- Joe Fathallah, 03:33:38 05/10/02 Fri
Yep, it's great that the changeover hasn't affected the Awards too much and I'm sure they'll pick up again in the next few months. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of votes eventually recovers to what it was before.
Congrats to all winners!

The Anagrammy Website is temporarily down.
It is a simple problem. The host had my old credit card details and when they went to get their money they could not and shut the website. I have fixed that credit card details and am waiting for them to open the website again. I'll be onto Tech Support if it is not open this evening (OZ Time).
Sorry about the difficulties.
I will announce the winners here this evening if I can't get the website running.
