See why I picked him for a username? Next to Jesus and John (who, according to legend, converted him), I have more respect for him than any other man. 🙂

But you’re forgetting…my real given name is David. I just don’t use it on SDMB: what with you and SoulFrost, it gets confusing enough! 🙂

Dear Mr. Firefly,

What is an anagram?  
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Sara, an anagram is a rearrangement of letters making up a word or phrase to form another more-or-less coherent word or phrase. For example, your name, Sara C. delaFleur-Wells, will produce “Sure Fall Sell Law-Card” which, though it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, is a more or less coherent English phrase with the same letters in it. It’s a form of word game that can be a great deal of fun.

David, I thought you were a divinity, rather than mere man. (BTW, ask Melin what being a divinity means!)

Well, since he was using “Jesus” in there, I figured he was using an all-encompassing version of the word, “man.”

But I am most certainly not a dessert! (Although they do say, “You are what you eat.”)

Polycarp & Sara,

When I finally heard what an anagram was, my ear callus swelled far.

Oop! Should’ve added RTFirefly to that list!

Would it be safe to say that when we flame on people with animal magnetism in the BBQ Pit,

We scald feral allures?

Just wondering.

Okay you amateurs…

[http://www.won.net/channels/bezerk/acro/acro-play.html](http://www.won.net/channels/bezerk/acro/acro-play.html)

(1) Download game (Unless you’re on a Mac, in which case, you’re SOL, pal!)

(2) Create identity

(3) Search for me if I’m online (My ID is **Satan\_\_666** )

(4) Join the game I’m in.

THEN we’ll see how good at acronyms you’all are!!

Gee… I hope that sending people this link turns out better than the last time I sent people links to a new place… 😉
