_adding the occasional apostrophe etc…_

Well, I’m apparently **A Chinese girl’s ho** , possibly the same ho with the strange skin condition - **Her acne sighs oil**. Anyway, I seem to have strange tastes at breakfast, viz; **hosing his cereal** , before heading out to work at what must be the world’s only **garlic shoe shine**. Still, it brings in the $$, so at the end of the day I’m able to **ogle shinier cash** before pursuing more adult activities (next day’s headline… **“He’s in orgie clash”** ).

Too bad I wasn’t able to work in my favourite - **elegiac hiss horn** , which strangely reminded me of **homer’s** wonderful _mackdonna handheld shoehorn butterhorse_ in the unmissable [I just ate 3 mushrooms](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?&threadid=38764) thread.

My name doesn’t anagram into anything particularly startling, but I while ago went out with a guy and in an afternoon loved up-ness, I doodled about and came up with an anagram of his name:

**A Carnal Wish**  
Which of course, he was, at the time.

If he had any decency at all, he would change his name by deed poll now, so that the Anagram Department in the offices of the Trades Description Act doesn’t prosecute him! 😃

Cecil Adams, **is** a **Mecca lad** who owns **acid camels** and **led** a **CIA scam**. But he was cool and like **a clam dices** with death in the **Dacca slime**.

Well let’s see…

I am a **Wry Maniac** , a **Wary Manic** , and **I Warn YMCA** , although I’m really not sure what I should warn them about!

But in a race my **Car May Win** , because I really am a **Manic Awry**.

Great game!

Thanks to the anagram site, I just discovered that **Cecil Adams** is an anagram of a **CIA-LED SCAM.**  
:eek:  
Or also  
**ACID MESCAL  
A CAMEL DISC  
A MECCA SLID  
ACID CAMELS  
and  
ED ZOTTI**  
(I’m not sure how the heck the engine came up with that last one. There isn’t even a Z in Cecil Adams.)

I also thought “that unperceived sky” would be a great name for a novel.

Apparently I am also privy to the occasional **Odd Romantic Pork**

Adding my middle name made that more interesting 🙂

I get **A MIND STRONGLY**  
🆒  
That one had me  
**SNORTING MADLY**  
It looks like I’ll seduce a virgin:  
**LANDING MS TYRO**  
Or even a conservative Brit:  
**LANDING MS TORY**  
Even if they are  
**NOT MY DARLINGS**  
Then I commit adultery  
**GLAD IN MRS TONY**  
My first move would be to  
**AD TINGLY ON MRS**  
:eek:  
I just hope she doesn’t  
**STING MY RONALD**  
Because that would make my  
**MANLY ROD STING**  
Especially if her  
**TALONS GRIND MY…**  
(you know.) She must have been seduced by  
**MY SANDLOT GRIN**  
Or mabye because she heard me  
**SING TO MR. DYLAN**  
Or maybe she just fell for my  
**MANLY STRONG ID**  
If she’s nice, we could go off to  
**ORGY MINTS LAND**  
Where we would have lots of fun  
**TRYING ALMONDS**  
And if I’m lucky I could  
**SMARTLY DONG IN**  
I could invite her to  
**LAND ON MY GRITS**  
I bet she’d be  
**LANDING STORMY**  
If that’s the case, I’m sew out of luck  
**LOST MY DARNING**  
Then I screw it all up making a  
**DAMN LOSING TRY**  
She mocks my failure by  
**LARDING MY SNOT**  
To which I add  
**DANG MY NOSTRIL**  
And I proudly declare  
**GRANDLY I’M SNOT**  
To get back at her I  
**RANDOMLY STING**  
And when she leaves and I’m sad and alone, I  
**MADLY SNORT GIN**

So I get dragged into the IRS office for an audit, and find myself sitting on the wrong side of the desk in some **cruel toad axe** ’s office. Sensing my nervousness, he jams a bowl filled with some kind of repulsive grass flavored candy in my face and shouts at me “ **O relax, eat cud!** ” This **loud, ace taxer** is just trying to put me off my guard, I think. As soon as I eat that candy he’s going to ask me if **Taco Ax Dueler** is my _real_ occupation. I decline the candy, but he goes right in for the kill, asking me if my reported income is only $15,675, how can I afford to be wearing **a tux? Real clod** , this fellow! “And surely you must have made more than $430 from sales of your mortuary beauty compound **‘D.O.A. Latex Cure’**?” asks my **exacter, aloud**. Finally cracking under the pressure, I scream “ **EAT CODEX, RAUL!** ” and beat his face into a bloody pulp with the hardbound Code of Hammurabi I keep in my back pocket.

I was acquitted of murder in court (justifiable homicide, the jury said), but I went to prison anyway for my lesser crime: violation of **a tax code rule**.

My board name isn’t very anagrammable, but my real first name gives some pretty good ones:

Ethnic Sir  
Sin Thrice  
Nice Shirt! (my favorite)  
His Cretin  
Rice Thins  
I Rest Chin  
Itch Siren  
It’s Her!, Inc.
