[> Late additions to the list -- Richard G, 01:11:12 07/04/02 Thu
Mike Ruane-Torr has joined us very recently (welcome, Mike!) and I was impressed by a couple of the anagrams he posted to a.a. just prior to this. I'd now like to post them here and retro-nominate them for inclusion in June's list:
Mike Ruane-Torr with:
The Solar System =
Yes, Master Holst!
[Ent nom. Very clever take and I'm kicking myself for not spotting it.]
Mike Ruane-Torr with:
"Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter =
Dry, gabbled lectures on cerebral foolhardiness nag that Godhead.
[Long nom, from what I know of the book this sounds about right.]
Plus his two entries suitable for the Challenge:
Mike Ruane-Torr with:
Smart moon-landing sampler: "I float near a pennant after this long smoke."
Mike Ruane-Torr with:
I gallop on a transform in them tanks! Eagle sits on a permanent land form.
Well done Mike, and welcome.

Hard Work -- Mey, 21:23:52 06/29/02 Sat
I was bemused by this anecdote from 'News of the Weird', but was reminded that some employees have an even worse time:
Weird Workplaces
Perth, Australia, brothel owner Mary-Anne Kenworthy closed down for a day on April 30 because the influx of 5,500 U.S. Navy personnel on shore leave had left her workforce worn out. "We're the biggest and the best," she said, "(and) I'd rather take nothing than offer a poor service." She added, "I just wish they could dribble-feed the Yanks in, fly a thousand (in) at a time." (The Bremerton (Wash.) Sun carried a wire-service version of this story but later apologized for it to its readers since many Navy families in the Bremerton-Seattle area apparently did not appreciate learning this news.) [The Mercury (Hobart, Australia), 5-3-02; The Age (Melbourne), 5-2-02]
=
Even Weirder Workplaces
A source reported yesterday that all of the presidential personnel had asked for an early retirement, describing their job as 'inhumane'.
Not long ago, the staff secretary was rumored to 'weep like a baby' when the president asked if 'Arab' can be a verb, too. Recently, Bush had to spend hours with a trainer to properly say "Every little bit of effort counts", after a sad incident of mispronouncing 'war', 'terror' and 'USA' in his State of the Union address. His whim to raise morale by hiding fake vomit all over the White House drew no laughs.
"Um, anyone still have anthrax?", a crazed intern was cited; "Hell, anywhere but here."

Annoying adages (belated xpost from alt.anagrams) -- Noam D. Elkies, 08:32:29 06/28/02 Fri
Earlier this month I e-mailed Larry Brash to ask why
the anagram reproduced below, which received several
enthusiastic Special nominations at alt.anagrams,
was nowhere to be seen in the May ballot. He replied:
> Yes, I'm afraid so. Nominations are now only accepted from > the Anagrammy Forum. If you post it there it will be ?
> nominated and will go in next month's competition.
Acoordingly, here it is again:
----------------------------------------------
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Actions speak louder than words.
April showers bring May flowers.
As you make your bed, so must you lie in it.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Better late than never.
Dead men tell no tales.
Every dog has his day.
Fools rush in where angles fear to tread.
=
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
All that glitters is not gold.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
Better be safe than sorry.
Blood is thicker than water.
Business is business.
Charity begins at home.
Dead men have no friends.
Divide and rule.
Don't go near the water until you learn how to swim.
Every man has his price.

The Fly by William Blake -- Joe F., 13:01:58 06/27/02 Thu
The Fly
Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink & sing;
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength & breath;
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
William Blake
=
Why?
Are they *so* highly annoying?
Why will a vain hand kill a moth fly?
But as a result of man's mad attitude
It's not only the bashed flies that'll die.
Finding high their filthy personal gain
Scummy men maim human lambs for fake power.
Thus did he that killed the initial fly
Help bring baffled Earth to its darkest hour?

'Resume' by Dorothy Parker -- Allan Morley, 01:34:00 06/28/02 Fri
Résumé
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
[by Dorothy Parker]
=
Our age's unnerving -
Fair world's now a slum;
A city's polluted;
Monday's glum.
A mugger pilfers;
Worms cause disease;
Survival's crazy -
Euthanasia please.
[by Rod & Kathy Roper]

Allan, one little suggestion if that's OK. I find the "Rod & Kathy Roper" anagram of DP's name at the end to be a bit anticlimactic. I see why you've done it that way, the lack of a title for the 'gram meaning you can't tuck the author away there like you and Mey habitually do, but IMO this way it takes away rather than adds.
Apart from that, excellent!

Yes, I see what you mean. Please drop the authors, Richard. It's a pity because I had to struggle to make those letters work at all. Never mind, I guess I'll just have to go and do another Parker poem! :-)

Thankyou, RG! I'm flattered!

Well... I suppose this email account is increasingly like a cesspit, so it's only appropriate that your little crock of brown poop popped up. Let me clarify, you boorish, petty, anal-retentive wretch: it's not worth writing to me. Honestly, I won't need your product - my home's sewer is impeccable. But I think I WILL have to invest in some sort of spam-pump before the account succumbs completely to this cheap, unsolicited, invasive feces. Thus, unless YOU can provide me with one, you can take this spam and stuff it up your buttocks... back to where it came from.

Pledge of Allegiance -- Paul Pan, 22:27:31 06/27/02 Thu
A federal appeals court in the USA ruled that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is an unconstitutional "endorsement of religion" because of the phrase "under God". This inspired me to produce a revised version:
*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.
=
*Epicede to pall Indigence*
I salute the fair Dollar, of the free capitalist economy,
and the biotic need, which it funds, a big gold ingot, glittering, with a job, fuel, assets, land and revenue for all.
