Have you ever considered all the anagrams you can get from your name? Today is my birthday, so I got to thinking about myself (me, me, me, me, me) and before you knew it, I had rearranged myself into quite a few anagrams, most of which were nonsense:
Be a tin sword
A snow bar diet
A couple were vaguely Schwarzeneggerian:
Sweat bod rain
Brawn site ado
A couple were almost uncannily financial:
To end IRA swab
Eat no bid wars
One struck me as Yeltsonian (if your Duma’s acting up, just dissolve it):
Sit a new board
One, I felt, was just completely unfair:
I rob and waste
And one was more or less 100% on target:
Said and wrote
— or was until I realized I would have to spell “said” with a “b.” Saib and wrote.
If today is your birthday, or someone else’s is upcoming and you need a little help with a clever card, visit www.genius2000.com/anagram. Though it’s not instant (they e-mail you the results), it’s easy and free. And fun. An anagram they suggest for President Boris Yeltsin: Endless Insobriety Trip.
