I think they're anagrams; what of, though, I'm not sure...

Concentrate on the third one.

Meanwhile, here are three more.

Ah, I get it! What do I win? 😛

Unfortunately, the odds were even money, so you get whatever amount you bet.

 

[Hungarian21]

bet?:weird:you could bet?

Oh yeah! I see it now too (I always manage to get the answer once it's handed to me)! Clever stuff!

PS: I'm having trouble working some of them out. Hope you plan to supply a key at some point.

Thanks. Best I could do with yours is BAG IT, LI'L DEE.

Yeah, I'll translate them all after a decent interval.

Keen! 😀 I love it!

Hey wait a sec....#4 is my name!!

 

[Yet_One_More_Idiot]

You're quick tonight, Nessie. 😛 Mine is number 3. I can't work out numbers 1, 2, 5 or 8 though...make that 1, 2, or 5. 🙂

 

[nessonite1]

Ohhh so there is a pattern now....Ill let everyone else figure it out XD

A computerized anagram generator! We truly live in a brave new world! This goes instantly onto my Favorite Places list. Though, when I typed in my screen name and got over 7,000 possible combinations, none of them was the one that Ignatz devised! It's a comfort to know that a human can still out-think a computer on occasion!

 

[Dussicar]

Hey! I got just about all of them!

Very clever, KOOPACOOPER.

This has got to be one of the coolest threads in a while...Erm...Mostly because I understood what's going on, of course. Finally, for once. 😀

Glad you liked it, Dussicar. Best I could do with yours is I'D CUSS RA (which is what I'd do if I were an ancient Egyptian suffering from sunstroke).

Nessie, thanks for that link. I entered my real name and got a great one I had never thought of (although the computer missed a good one, too.)

Koop, I'll tackle your anagrams when I've had more coffee. Longer ones are tough as nails, but a lot of fun.

If any of you enjoy anagrams and poetry (or even if you suffered mightily through the poetry in your English and American lit classes), you should check out a book called "Holy Tango of Literature" by Francis Heaney. His premise involves the great poets composing works whose titles are anagrams of their own names. "Toilets," by T.S. Eliot, "Hen Gonads," by Ogden Nash, "Skinny Domicile," by Emily Dickinson, etc. He has deftly captured the style of all the poets he parodies. He even includes a few playwrights like Tennessee Williams ("Ellen's Siamese Twin") and David Mamet ("Dammit, Dave" a hilarious and obscene spoof of "2001: A Space Odyssey").

Skoalma...?

...

 

[Ignatz]

Skoalma...?

...

"Skoal" is a popular drinking toast, derived from the Norwegian word for bowl.
"Ma" is a popular nickname for one's mother, derived from "mama."

Hence...Skoal, Ma! (Cheers, Mother! Mud in your eye, Mom!)

GAAAAAA!!!!! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!

Here I am patting myself on the back for finally getting one of these games right on the first try, and then I have to flubb it up by saying the wrong username!

It actually wasn't a mistake of identity, you understand. I knew it was you, ingatz01, who made this thread, but the last username that I saw before posting was Koop's. Really, it was a freudian slip. In my head, I was thanking you but my fingers were typing his name instead!

You know, I usually pride myself on not letting my subconcious get the better of me. I hope you understand my stupid transgression and I promise it won't happen again, goodieluver. 😀

I can guess what that one it! 😛

Got the first one! (Now that damned song will be stuck in my head the rest of the day.)
Still no idea on #2.

No sweat, son. I knew what you meant.
