The Anagrammy Results for January 2004

It was a little quieter this month with only 39 voters. It was quiet in the early months of last year with votes in the high 30's.

Most categories had clear winners visible from Day One, but there were a couple of very close events.

General Category - first three win an award

26 votes came in on the first day, and Adrian's remarkable anagram was a the clear leader. The real contest was for the minor places. David B and Jesse were 2nd and 3rd respectively after 24 hours. JB joined then and moved into 3rd place on the 2nd day and then into 2nd place at the end of the event.

David's third place brings him up to equal 5th on the All-Time table with 49 points.


1	Adrian Hickford	43	International Airports = Airline transportation.
2	JB	27	Legal separations = Agree on split, alas.
3	David Bourke	25	Meal for one ~ for me, alone.
4	Jesse Frankovich	23	The vocabulary arrangements = Sent by clever anagram author!
5	sundogg99	21	Septuagenarian = Guarantees pain.

Entertainment Category

This was another easily won category, with Mey's last minute entry. His ten point lead on Day One was well maintained throughout the competition.


1	Mey Kraus	49	Peter Jackson, the director of the LotR series = Three hits recreate Tolkien's Frodo projects.
2	Richard Grantham	37	A minuet = I'm a tune.
3	Hans-Peter Reich	33	Animated Motion Pictures = Put cartoon items in media.

Topical Category

Mey did well here as well, but with a much smaller margin. His comfortable lead was cut dramatically at the end with Richard G and Jesse finishing strongly.


1	Mey Kraus	51	Images from the NASA Spirit rover = Impart great visions of Mars here.
2	Richard Grantham	50	Resolutions = Onerous list.
3	Jesse Frankovich	48	President Bush's State of the Union Address = Phrases used had tidbits of utter nonsense.

Rude Category

The top three here had a great battle. David led by two points on Day One, Hans-Peter shared the lead with him on Day Two, and moved one point ahead by the end of Day Three. The final margin was four points.

Hans-Peter's award is his 8th and moves him to 18th.


1	Hans-Peter Reich	53	A nudist resort = Round arse, tits.
2	Jesse Frankovich	49	The donations of sperm = Short moan; pint of seed.
3	David Bourke	46	The US actor Benjamin Affleck ~ is a bereft man...he can't fuck J-Lo!

Peoples Names Category

This was an easy win to JB who clearly had the best anagram in the field. Her first day lead of 8 points ballooned out to 19 by the end of the competition.

Two wins for JB this month, brings her total to 54 awards.


1	JB	58	Nurse Florence Nightingale, Lady with the Lamp = ...
2	View	39	Saddam Hussein = Ass in a mud shed.
3	Mey Kraus	28	R. 'Dick' Cheney, Vice President of America = I scheme, trick and deceive for any price.

Other Names Category

As with the Peoples Names Category, the winner was evident by the end of the first day. Allan Morley end up winning by 12 points to Adrian.

22 awards for Allan over the last 3 years


1	Allan Morley	61	The Leaning Tower of Pisa = A spire of note, with angle.
2	Adrian Hickford	49	Death by Chocolate = Halted by the cocoa.
3	View	24	South America = HOT music area!

Medium Category

I thought that this category would be closer then it turned out to be. Adrian had an 8 point lead on Day One and was never in doubt of winning.


1	Adrian Hickford	49	There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary and those who don't. = ...
2	David Bourke	28	The National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, Incorporated = ...
3	Mey Kraus	24	"Mona Lisa Smile", the Columbia Pictures production of a Mike Newell film, starring Julia Roberts ('...

Awardsmaster's Challenge

This month's challenge was to anagram New Year's Resolution(s). At first glance, I did not see any one anagram as standing out, however the voters obviously did. Richard's was 20 points clear after the first day. He then accelerated to a huge 41 point while the rest of us were almost stationary.


1	Richard Grantham	65	New Year's Resolution = Only we aren't serious!
2	AlanY	24	New Year's Resolutions ~ are surely not wise, son.
3	Larry Brash	22	New Year's Resolutions = to lessen your swearin'.

Long Category

This was close. Two stood out on Day One, Mey and Adrian who were tied at that stage. The next day, Adrian was ahead by two, as he was by Day Three. He ended up winning by just 5 points.


1	Adrian Hickford	63	The Marriage...
2	Mey Kraus	58	Top Ten Ways I, Howard Dean, Can Turn Things Around...
3	David A Green	20	a girl at work came in ...

Special Category - first three win an award

A small field this month with just four starters. Humour won out over Poetry this month, with Adrian's very funny, very long anagram the clear leader after 24 hours. He stayed well clear for a comfortable win with Mey in second place. There was a tussle for third place, Richard moved clear of Jesse on the last day.

What a month for Adrian with four wins. He is the first person to take the "Long Triple" (Medium, Long and Special). His wins jump him up to equal 7th place with 41 awards.

Mey's three wins give him a total of 148 wins. Richard's two wins give him 132 wins all up.

Awardmasters Choice Award for the best anagram of a non-winning author

There were a few contenders here, including sundogg's General and several of Jesse's (General, Rude and Special). We decided of Jesse's General:

The vocabulary arrangements = Sent in by clever anagram author.

This gives Jesse 17 awards and is now equal 11th on the All Time Table.
