voting, eventually ending in tie with Jon and Tom. Under the new rules
both will get an award. Tom's 13th Anagrammy, making him 4th in the

Long Category.

The Anagrammies would not be the Anagrammies without a win in the Long
or Special to Richard Brodie. This month followed the tradition, giving
Richard his 26th Anagrammy and maintained his position at the top of the
All-Time Winners List

1st. Richard Brodie with: 16 votes

eq 2nd. Mike Keith (Domnei) with: 4 votes
I used to have
A liking, regard, admiration, fancy, unsearchable highs,
Affection, attachment, yearning for, passion,
Devotion, fervor, enthusiasm, idolatry.

I used to cherish, adore, sing your beauty, dote,
Be smitten - so smitten! - charmed, bewitched.
Ooh I shook, I was bitten, amatory, ill-in-love,
Swirling, soaring, sorrowless, alive, well.

I, hero?
Ask them if I loved you. =

What I now have is
Disaffection, disfavor, enmity, anomisity,
Umbrage, a grudge, a high dudgeon, bitterness of spleen,
Ill blood, acrimony, malice, a wish for revenge.

I hate, detest, abominate, abhor, loathe
Recoil at, shudder at, shrink from, see with horror,
Revolt against, scowl at, disrelish, dislike,
Conceive an aversion to you.

You stink in my nostrils.
I hate you.


Name Category.

I clung on to a narrow lead throughout, until I picked up three of the
last four votes. Often it is the shortest anagrams that have the biggest
impact. These nine little letters gave me my 21st Anagrammy.

1st. Larry Brash with: 9 votes
Milosevic. =
'Cos I'm evil.

2nd. Mey Kraus with: 5 votes
The Gorgon Medusa. =
"God! Her mug!"... a stone.

eq 3rd. Mick Tully with: 3 votes

Tally ho! NATO ran in, lynch Serb!


Place Category
A closely fought contest between new boy, Son Hong Nguyen, and old hand,
Mey. I am always pleased to see a newbie win and Mey has had plenty of
kudos in the last two months.

1st. Son Hong Nguyen with: 8 votes

2nd. Meyran Kraus with: 7 votes

1st. Meyran Kraus with: 7 votes
A Penthouse Centerfold. =

Special Category.

Our last category for this evening underwent some rule changes, allowing
nominees to have more than one special anagram and also giving
Anagrammies to each of the placegetters.

Usually one of these giants stands out, but not this month. All
candidates polled well and there was one surprise non-winner here (The Snark).

eq 1st. Mike Keith (Domnei) with: 6 votes
Raven Two. [snip]

eq 1st. Mey Kraus with: 6 votes
*The Little Boy and the Old Man
Shel Silverstein[snip]

2nd. Mike Keith (Domnei) with: 5 votes
[This anagram is a translation (as faithful as I could manage) of the
first four tercets of Canto III of Dante's "Inferno", from the original
early Italian into English.]

"Per me si va ne la citta dolente [snip]


Awardsmaster's Choice for a non-winning anagram.

There is only one choice I could have made for this and that is Jon
Gearhart's "The Snark". I think that it did not do better because of the
sheer enormity of it - it takes so long to read. However, it is because
of the huge task of anagramming this magnum opus, that I selected it. I
could not go unrecognised.


In conclusion, it is with some sadness that we mark the absence from the
group of Meyran Kraus who has been conscripted into the Israeli Army. We
do not know how long it will be before we hear from him not when he will
even hear of his successes. Mey leaves alt.anagrams in a blaze of glory
with a record 5 awards this month, ten in the last three months and 17
altogether to be 3rd in the All-Time Winners List.

We bow to you, Mey.
