Seeing the thread title [OK who works for Turbine?](http://208.100.26.199/sdmb/showthread.php?t=464302) I couldn’t help but wonder if the OP had anagrammed the **Chicago Tribune**! Seeing that that is highly unlikely (after looking into the thread’s contents) I wondered if we might have some fun looking for other neat anagrams of such things. Unfortunately, no others spring to mind at the moment, but I figured some of you word-fun people might enjoy the challenge. What you got? ---

Not quite a true anagram: Are the New England Portraits a good team? ---

From what I understand, the **Turbine** does have a lot of fans. ---

You know, a clever pun loses a lot of effect when the company in question already uses it. (I decided to check out the Turbine site, and discovered that they already have a similar tag.) ---

I used to visit my ex-wife’s parents down in LAREDO, Texas. It’s not a coincidence that it’s an anagram for ORDEAL. ---

‘Washington DC’ anagrams to “Don’t shag in WC” This isn’t mine but a pal pointed out that: 'Britney Spears" anagrams to “Best PR in years”
