Saddam Hussein = He damns Saudis -- Wordminer, 10:25:08 01/02/03 Thu

I did a site search on "Saudis" which did not show it - maybe it searches winners only ?

If you were searching anagrammy.com from our search page, it wouldn't have come up as this 'gram actually predates the competition. The full alt.anagrams archive at Google (stretching back to 1994) is searchable from the box at the bottom right of that page, and it was there that I found the earlier instance. It's also at Anagram Genius (again searchable from the above page), dated 1985.

If you find a good short gem, it's always a good idea to search for previous occurrences in those three archives especially.

[> Too close to a Hall of Famer, "Spice in 'em". Sorry Joe. [+more] -- Richard G, 15:40:41 01/02/03 Thu

This raises an interesting point though, that as to which hallmark of a good anagram should be the first to be sacrificed. The classic version maintains the height of aptness at all costs, resorting to an abbreviation to ensure there's no singular-plural discrepancy between the two sides; Joe's version gambles on that discrepancy (a minor one, to the point of not really being noticed IMO) in order to avoid the cheat of an abbreviation and improve the smoothness. In this case, both flaws are minor so it really is a toss-up as to which is the better tack.

The Nativity (A school play)

Scene: A poor, lowly old stable, on a star-studded, frosty night. Inside, beside a few odd cows, sits a young mother, cuddling a new infant.

Enter dad, head held high, (how bold and proud!) tripping over his long, faded outfit.

"Oh, and how is our baby son, anyway?"

The diminutive Mary lifts her angelic face to his, the light turning her hair into a glowing, holy halo, saying,

"Oh, Joseph, he's been a right little bugger all day long."

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

That's amazing - it was an independent discovery! I checked 'A holy war' in the Archives and AG, and it wasn't there!

It *is* very similar, tho' so you had better claim credit for it, I think.

2 Poems of Family Confusion -- Mey K., 21:25:35 12/27/02 Fri


Leigh's amusing poem of familial mix-up is anagrammed into a paraphrase of another, somewhat known poem, dealing with a similar issue...


Henry Sambrooke Leigh
The Twins

In form and feature, face and limb,
I grew so like my brother,
That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another.

It puzzled all our kith and kin,
It reached a fearful pitch;
For one of us was born a twin,
Yet not a soul knew which.

One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed;

And thus, you see, by fate's decree,
Or rather nurse's whim,
My brother John got christened me,
And I got christened him.

This fatal likeness even dogged
My footsteps when at school,
And I was always getting flogged,
For John turned out a fool.

I put this question, fruitlessly,
To everyone I knew,
"What would you do, if you were me,
To prove that you were you?"

Our close resemblance turned the tide
Of my domestic life,
For somehow, my intended bride
Became my brother's wife.

In fact, year after year the same
Absurd mistakes went on,
And when I died, the neighbors came
And buried brother John.

=

Mey K.
Eerie Kins

If I recall, it all occurred
When I was twenty three;
I got married to one older girl,
As foxy as could be.

The fox had one teen daughter -
A kid with hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.

This turned dad to a son-in-law,
And frankly jerked our lives:
My daughter was my mother,
For she was father's wife!

But if you think our quirk is done,
It merely just begun -
I soon became a father
Of one beefy little son.

The recent baby then became
Brother-in-law to dad,
So he's sort of my uncle...
Now 'Eerie' turned to 'Bad':

As uncle, he's considered, too,
One tubby, weeping brother
To the wife's eccentric daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.

Father's wife then had a kid -
See, it kept getting fun;
I got one zealous grandson (For
He was my daughter's son);

My fine wife's now my mother's mom -
Indeed it makes me blue,
For not only is she a wife,
But my grandmother too...

I became the craziest joke
You people ever saw -
A husband of my grandmother,
I'm my own grandpa!


Later,
Mey K.

Loved the site, Zoran!

Illustrating your anagrams with photographs is an excellent touch which adds an extra layer to their enjoyment. Also, I welcomed the international perspective with your selection of anagrams from other European countries. I guess this is a section that can grow and grow: did you ever get in touch with that Moscow professor who has compiled a compendium of anagrams in Russian?

Anyway, congratulations on your new site. A fun Xmas present for us all.

Thanks,David!
Yes,I'm planing to put some more galleries.Site is open
for all contributors,especially for anagrammers with
some exotic material.

Unfortunately,I didn't received the answer from Mr.Sergey
Kutasov.Perhaps I will write him again.

Thanks for the comments,I am happy that you like my work!

Thanks,Ahmad ! Nice anagrammy comment!

I would like to know something about anagrams
on Arabian language,perhaps you could help me?
Do you have some tradition in making of anagrams
(once I red about old Arabian chronograms called
"tareh".Perhaps you have some tradition with
anagrams ?)

Hi Zoran, I am not well verse in Arabic or Arabian language.
And as such, I can't help you in this matter. My second language is Malay. And I don't think the Malays have any anagram tradition.

Heard of 'tareh' too, but am not so sure about that also.
Hope you will find other sources.

Ok! Hear from you again.
