Anagrams (part 2)

'Huge buffoon collects weighted farm elm.'

"Quite asleep!"
Er, I mean, "Quiet, please!"
Don't worry, I haven't gone mad and started talking gibberish!* That's an anagram for 'Welcome to the Charles Fudgemuffin blog!'

* Well, no more than usual.

This week I take another look at anagrams, but once again, to mix things up a bit and check that you're staying alert, I've included one fake 'anagram' which isn't actually an anagram. See if you can spot which one it is.

1) If you enjoy peace and quiet, then you'll relate to this first anagram...

'Conversation' is an anagram of 'voices rant on'.



2) If you want to get away from those ranting voices then you'll find calm and tranquility in the countryside. However, peace and quiet isn't the only benefit of the countryside, as confirmed by this next anagram...

'The countryside' is an anagram of 'No city dust here'.



In case you were in any doubt, Elmo isn't real.
3) If you're looking for directions for how to get to Sesame Street, then you may find this next anagram useful...

'Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?' is an anagram of 'Eyes go west at south central to meet Elmo'.

On a separate note, I was quite amused to discover that the wikipedia entry for Elmo begins, 'Elmo is a fictional character...' Given that Elmo is a big red fluffy puppet, did they really need to clarify that he's fictional?



4) Getting back to the anagrams...

'Nurse Florence Nightingale' is an anagram of 'heroine curing fallen gents'.



5) Corrupt globalist corporations that shuffle money overseas to avoid paying taxes won't understand this next anagram, but hard-working citizens will.

'The IRS' is an anagram of 'Theirs!'



Thieves, pictured yesterday.
6) Being serious for a moment, the IRS do a great job and would never abuse their power. On a totally unrelated note...

'Sycophant' is an anagram of 'acts phony'.



7) If you want to catch a thief (other than the IRS), then call a detective because 'the detectives' is an anagram of 'detect thieves'.



8) Sticking with the theme of thieves, 'a shoplifter' is an anagram of 'has to pilfer'.



9) For legal reasons I would like to point out that nobody has to pilfer. It's a poor choice which shoplifters make of their own free will. On the subject of free will, sadly this next anagram isn't as true as it used to be...

'Statue of Liberty' is an anagram of 'built to stay free'.



10) TV viewers based in the UK can confirm this next anagram...

'The BBC' is an anagram of 'corrupt liars spreading fear and propaganda to gullible sheep'.



11) 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' is a famous Welsh town with a bogglingly long name. The town's bogglingly long name is rather appropriate, because 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' is an anagram of 'I'll cry, gallantly cry, wrongly howl pig of a bogglingly long Welsh word!'



The Doors.

Editor's note: "Charles, that the wrong type of 'Doors'!"
Charles: "Oops, sorry!"
12) Any gamblers will be able to confirm the accuracy of this next anagram.

'Slot machines' is an anagram of 'cash lost in me'.



13) Finally, fans of The Doors will know that 'Mr Mojo risin' is a line sung by Jim Morrison during the bridge of their song 'L.A.Woman'.

Rather appropriately, 'Jim Morrison' is an anagram of 'Mr Mojo risin''.

For the benefit of anyone who hasn't already worked it out, number 10 was the fake anagram. As everybody knows, the BBC would of course never spread fear and propaganda. ** shifty eyes **
