Index page: Long - Misc.

A Tale of Two Beers...
This anagram deals with two wholly different drinks. A complaint to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority about one is transformed into a warning about another.
Second Life FAQs
This anagram takes an introduction to the 'virtual world' Second Life, from the official site for this phenomenon, and turns it into a sales pitch describing what the Second Life environment is really about.
An advanced state...
The left-hand side is the list of general attributes of an advanced state as cited by Marx and Engels in Chapter 2 of their Manifesto of the Communist Party. Drawing fixed phrases from various sources, the right-hand side looks at another sort of advanced state (with quotation from Jello Biafra)...
Nature v. Government
This anagram is of political philosopher Thomas Hobbes's description of the 'state of nature', to which government based on a 'social contract' (as opposed to 'divine right') brings a way out of the madness. The right-hand side considers the idea further, in the modern US context.
Sima recipe
This is one of the long anagrams of which I'm most proud. The anagrammed text is a traditional Finnish sima recipe, sima being a yellow May Day drink. The anagram describes the festivities held in Finland on this day. (The letters were favourable enough that I didn't have to alter the recipe at all in order to produce the right-hand half.
Newgroup message
The anagrammed text is a list of signers of the US Declaration of Independence. The anagram was written after some online arguments caused people to consider splitting the alt.anagrams newsgroup into two newsgroups. The right-hand side follows the required format and general guidelines for a 'newgroup' post, which creates a new USENET newsgoupr in the '.alt' hierarchy. There were lots of horrible letters here.
Modern-day 'Duck and Cover'
After the World Trade Center attacks in 2001, the US government thoughtfully provided instructions for citizens to use in preparing for terrorist attacks. From some of this information, placed online at http://www.fema.gov/txt/areyouready/areyouready.txt , I created an anagram describing the 'Duck and Cover' drills of the US in the 1950s.
Famous last words
This is an anagram of a list of 'last words' that does the rounds in email every so often. My version is a list of last words specific to horror and science fiction films. Each refers to a different over-used plot device of the genre.
One joke into another
This anagram turns one joke into another and constitutes my first attempt at this style. Be warned that the second of the two jokes is rather explicit.
Say your prayers
These are anagrams of each of the 10 Commandments and of the 'Hail Mary' prayer. They're a bit tongue-in-cheek, and the 10 Commandments anagrams are either objections to the commandments or exceptions - antigrams in a way.
Too long to be short
This page is home to a few 'grams that are too long to be considered short but that aren't particularly long either. An example is the spoken intro on Star Trek.
