Some Anagrams
After doing the weeding around the lime tree and the pineapple patch yesterday, I managed to finish up the mowing. And after all of that, I had so much extra energy that I got out the hedge trimmer and did the two hedge thingies in the front of the house. It was a nice sunny day yesterday but with enough clouds that I risked working in the yard while wearing only a tank top and shorts. I figured I could use some Vitamin D. After I finished up my work outside, I was nice and sweaty and gross with lots of dirt and debris all over me so I hopped into the shower. When I got out, I noticed in the mirror that my shoulders were a bit pink. Oh, well. At least it wasn't a bad burn. That's what I get for thinking that I can work in a tank top without sunscreen--thanks Northern European genetics!
Anyway, I found a bunch of these anagrams hand written in a book when I was tidying my bedroom the other night. They were scratched out on the back of some paperwork from a job I had about ten years ago. So they've been hanging out in that book for a long time! I have no idea from where I copied them, but I thought they were funny enough to keep.
Anagrams:
dormitory = dirty room
desperation = a rope ends it
the Morse code = here come dots
slot machines = cash lost in 'em
animosity = is no amity
mother-in-law = woman Hitler
snooze alarms = no more z's
Alec Guinness = genuine class
semolina = is no meal
a decimal point = I'm a dot in place
eleven plus two = twelve plus one
contradiction = accord not in it
aaaaaand...
To be or not to be, that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. = In one of the bards best thought out tragedies, our insistant hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

Oh, yeah, baby!! :D
thanks Northern European genetics!
Your welcome. ;P
Those anagrams are pretty cool. The Shakespeare one is apparently constructed by one Cory Calhoun from the USA, a master anagrammist. Astonishing work.
Oh, yeah, baby!! :D
Yeah, I thought you might like that. ;P
Soooooo, has the sun come out in your neck of the woods? BTW, doesn't your town's name translate roughly to East Wood? (I suddenly have that tune from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly in my head. LOL)
Those anagrams are pretty cool.
Thanks! I had never heard of Cory Calhoun until you mentioned him.
ROFLMAO!!! I found an anagram generator and put in the first letter of my name + my middle name and last name and a few of the results were 'A Sesame Djinn', 'Mad Ninjas See', 'Jasmine Sedan' and 'A Ninja Messed'.
has the sun come out in your neck of the woods?
Yes, it has. 42 degrees Celcius in the sun according to one thermometer. I think that one was lying a bit but it was pretty warm.
doesn't your town's name translate roughly to East Wood?
Yeah, approximately. I think it's "East Of Wood" strictly speaking. Not sure if there's any link to Clint.
It seems like those anagrams don't have enough letters? Did you use initials?
BTW, some pics from Elf Fantasy Fair Haarzuilens (Elfia) 2013
42 degrees Celcius
That's pretty damn hot! Were you suddenly whisked away to a desert?
Did you use initials?
First initial + middle name + surname
Did you go to Elf as the Harlequin or as Blackadder? A slashed doublet and codpiece are pretty hot! ;P
Were you suddenly whisked away to a desert?
That particular thermometer had been in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. It wasn't really that hot. Too warm for my taste, anyway.
Did you go to Elf as the Harlequin or as Blackadder?
Well, neither. I didn't go to Elf. I didn't make those pics either. Had I gone, I would of course have chosen a Harlequin costume. I just thought you might think those pics fun. Some of the costumes are really good.
Too warm for my taste, anyway.
I was in heat that bad once--in Colombia, South Carolina. It was the worst thing I've ever experienced. My body is NOT suited to those temperatures. I don't know how peeps put up with that.
I didn't make those pics either.
I didn't get to see those pics. For some reason my browser refused to load that site.
I *did* have a look at the official Elf site, though. Some of those costumes *are* pretty amazing. Those peeps really put a lot of effort into it.
I would of course have chosen a Harlequin costume.
Isn't that kinda like an invisibility cloak? ;P Would anyone be able to get a pic of you?
Okay, I tried the site again--went through the front door, clicked pic link--and voila! Wow, some of those costumes *are* amazing, especially the Predator one and some of the steampunk and that one dude who looks fresh out of Mordor! Those costumes are way better than the ones at the local ren-fests around here. I'm not sure what my costume would be if I went, though.
Would anyone be able to get a pic of you?
Hmmm, good point. Maybe I should instead choose a Waldo costume. They'll still have to look for me but at least if they find me they can take a pic. :)
I'm not sure what my costume would be if I went, though.
Something involving a sword? IDK, these days even Snow White is sword fighting.
You two need to get a room! :-)
Maybe I should instead choose a Waldo costume.
Nooooo!!! I like that form fitting Harlequin costume much better! Maybe if I dressed as Columbina I'd have no trouble seeing you? ;P
Something involving a sword?
That would make getting through customs an interesting event! LOL
Hey, you remember the dress from my graduation picture? I was thinking that it is very Evil Queen-esque. I could hike up the front a la Regina and pair it with some leather pants and riding boots. There'd be less explaining at customs! ;P

The hell you say! ;P BTW, are you back home?
form fitting Harlequin costume
Something tells me I'm gonna need a better form for that...

Sounds excellent. :)
I'll be babysitting tonight so I'll most likely be off line. See ya!
I'm gonna need a better form for that...
Push-ups and crunches do wonders for that! :D
I'll be babysitting tonight
Lucky babies! ;P Laterz!
Push-ups and crunches do wonders for that! :D
I wish they did. Not that I do them much. It's not like I have a big belly or something. Maybe I should be less critical of my body shape.
So what's your weekend like? Are you having any fun?
Maybe I should be less critical of my body shape.
From what I've seen, your shape isn't too bad--damn near perfect weight and height for my tastes. :D
Of course, getting a proper look would mean peeling off layers and layers of clothes like you were an onion. ;P
I don't think most men are too critical of themselves. It reminds me of a discussion at the OOTF forum where they were talking about that Dove commercial where the women have a poor self image. Then someone made a spoof of it with men instead. All the men thought they were God's gift. LOL That's where I picked up that line "looks like something fresh out of Mordor." LOL
Besides, you men have a bit of an advantage with all that testosterone. You don't have to workout too much before getting results. I have to workout often just for maintenance or it will all go South--literally and figuratively! :/
So what's your weekend like? Are you having any fun?
Ma Nature has decided to drop by and stay for the weekend. I am NOT having fun, although she is way less bitchy than usual. Maybe the herb tea is working as a sedative on her. ;P
At least with her here now, I won't have to deal with her on my birthday, not that I'll be doing anything fun then. :(
it will all go South--literally
You mean towards the centre of the planet, I believe? ;P
not that I'll be doing anything fun then. :(
Really? You can't do anything fun? Not even spoil yourself a little bit? Do your favourite things pumped up to the nth power? This, surely, can not come to pass?
My mother is having her other eye done the day before my birthday so my birthday will be spent taking her to the follow-up appt and then waiting on her hand and foot, giving her eye drops, and assorted non-sense.
My father, who has plenty of money to piss away on stupid stuff for himself, won't even send me a thin dime.
IDK, I *might* splurge and buy myself a certain watch that I like and have been looking at for the past few weeks.
a certain watch that I like
What kind of watch? Do you have a picture?
I have to admit, some watches are quite nice. I like the look of analogue watches but hate to tell time off them. I stick to cheap digital ones.
What kind of watch?
It's an Armitron brand. I've never bought that particular brand before so I don't know how well they hold up. It is a chronometer like my Sector that broke. It looks almost identical.
Do you have a picture?
It's similar to this one except it has a black dial face instead of blue and the band is a little different.
but hate to tell time off them.
I'm old school. I like them and prefer them to digital. Digital makes you lose IQ points. ;P I refuse to dumb myself down. ;P ;P
looks nice. Even for a non-digital watch ;P What does it cost?
BTW did you hear about how tomorrow April 30th the Dutch (non-evil AFAIK) queen will give up her throne to her son? Would never happen in OUAT I bet ;)
What does it cost?
$55 at Walmart. If it's as nice as it looks then it'll be a bargain. I haven't had my hands on it yet since they keep it in a display case and there's never an employee around to take it out and let me get a closer look.
did you hear about how tomorrow April 30th the Dutch (non-evil AFAIK) queen will give up her throne to her son?
Oh, yes. A blog that I read was discussing it on Friday and I had heard about it on the news about a month ago. The blog commenters were getting their shots in(lots of English-types there) and I was tempted to get into it with them. Where do they think Angles came from? They shouldn't mock--they have Dutch genes from way back, like it or not! And share a common root with the language. ;P And that bit about being ruled by William of Orange...IIRC it was by invitation and seemed to work out well, no? LOL
Would never happen in OUAT I bet ;)
Nope! LOL Speaking of which, last night's episode was "The Evil Queen"! I should do a post. I've always been a Regina apologist, but holy shit! WTF? She certainly earned the title! And cognitive dissonance much? The woman is a beautiful disaster.
I'm not liking the preview for the season finale...I'm hoping Snow comes to the rescue. :/
"From what I've seen, your shape isn't too bad--damn near perfect weight and height for my tastes. :D"
Would you two just have sex already!!?
And, yes, I am back home. Been back for six days.
