According to anagrams of my name, I am either a **shaky, deceptive runt** or a **dusky, retentive hunk**. Poetically, I like to think of myself as a **psyche adventure kit** , living under **that unperceived sky**. ---

Evidently, I have an **elfin rear**. How svelte of me. Unfortunately, I suffer from **renal fire**. After that, I had to add my middle name to get anything interesting. Masses flee in **inferable terror** at my **ferret brain lore**. I leave you with this advice: **Refer rot el brain** ---

Apparantly, I’ve got BLACK NERVES. Or, failing that, i can have a VERBAL NECK. I also tend to SLACKEN VERB hmm. I’ve too short a name, I think… ---

My real name generates a vast amount of anagram garbage, with one “real” phrase outstanding: **When Elks Tip**. I think it can be the basis of a Fox “reality” show. They’d follow forest creatures into fancy restaurants and see how big a gratuity they left. My SDMB name gives **Calm Ham Ace** , and we all know what cheap tippers _they_ are. ---

Thanks, **Early Out** – a much better site than the ones I checked. From it, I learn that my real name also gives **Nephew’s Kilt** and **He Knew Split** and **Whitens Kelp** (“Madge! How do you get your Kelp so White?”). It also makes **Help Stew Kin** (“Where’s Uncle Dave?”) , **Help Wet Inks** (“Somebody get me a paper towel!”), and **Help! We Stink!** (no comment necessary). Not much better for **CalMeacham** , though, which evidently has a bad set of letters. **Clam Am Ache** suggests a subliterate sequel to Green Eggs and Ham. ---

i’ve tried to anagram my real name, but it never added up to much. Elvis Costello’s real name, on the other hand, Declan Patrick McManus, is an anagram of “ **A damn Celtic punk…scram!** ” ---

With my short SDMB handle, I can only get “ **Annex E.T.** ”. (manifest destiny, anyone?) Short name, I guess I can give **Meal Hints** , or if I want to go with my full name, I’m reminded that: **Laugh In? Live in asthma** , or perhaps **In evil laugh - In asthma** Words to live by. ---

What I learned from that site was that a “z” really limits your anagram possibilities. All I can ask is, **Did Zeus stink?** ---

I come up with **DELVE EN GO** , which sounds like a phone-in excavation service, and **EDEN GLOVE** , which is either a chic 1940s glove manufacturer or a condom. . . . Oh, yeah, and \*_GELD EVE NO_. I’m not gonna _touch_ that one . . . ---

Apparently, I was well named, for anagrams. These are some of the better ones. CALM LIVENED - the philosophical me, I guess CALM NED EVIL - the peacemaker me - just chill, Ned CLAM DEVIL NE - great name for a seafood restaurant! CAN MELD EVIL - one my many talents MALDEN CLIVE - my lame poker playing nickname MADE VIC NELL - and, don’t think Vic was happy about it, either! AC MIND LEVEL - I just really like this one - haven’t figured it out, yet CLEVELAND MI - Dammit! I’m lost, again! VENDACE MILL - sounds like a winery, to me CAVILLED MEN - aren’t all men nagged? DECAL MELVIN - I don’t know what Melvin did, but this sounds like a pretty extreme response ---
