You can, too. Just go here: http://www.anagramgenius.com/server.html , type in your name and presto, instant anagram.
I typed in a few WAE blog writer’s names just for fun. Because really, what else can one do on a Saturday night?
Result:
Steve Safran = Fervent as as
…..I mean, Steve Saffron = Fervent of ass
Deborah Bancroft = Breach of not drab
Chris Marobella = Balmier Scholar
Bradford Akerman = Freak random drab
Siobhan McGowan = Now bash on magic
Me (Krissy Blom) = Smirky Slob
Oh, but you should see what happened when I typed in Tim Hoyt’s name! Go see for yourself! http://www.anagramgenius.com/server.html
She trashed my summer, too. Apparently, she only wanted to be in “Study” with me for her own advancement.
I feel so used.
Reading Steve’s iTunes playlist, invaded by his children’s Shrek 2’s soundtrack, struck a chord with me. My sons are constantly intruding onto my computer, my iPod, my cell phone, etc. They even have me staking out my local video store.
This afternoon, after wondering around BlockBuster, I picked two movies and went to pay for them:
Young BlockBuster Associate (YBBA): “Find everything, M’am?”
Me: (Cringing from being called “M’am”) “Uhhh, no actually. Do you have the new Nintendo Wii Mario Brothers game?”
YBBA: “I don’t think its out yet. Do you know the whole title?”
Me: (Thinking: What a dork, he doesn’t even know it?) “Let’s see, there’s Super Paper Mario and there’s also Super Mario Galaxy. Uh…..this is for my sons.”
[I knew the game titles. Now who’s the dork?]
YBBA: (Checking the computer) “We don’t have Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy isn’t out until June”.
Me: (Looking aimlessly around the store) “Oh”.
I proceed to pay for my two movies. YBBA hands them to me, enthusiastically pointing to my receipt: “Here’s a coupon for a free rental of any item in the middle isles of the store!”
Me: (noticing the Nintendo Wii games are in fact in a middle isle of the store!) “Really? Can I put that towards a Wii game rental?”
YBBA: “No M’am, just the movies. But your BlockBuster Rewards account has also earned you a free rental at the end of the month!”
Me: “And can I put THAT towards a Wii game?”
YBBA: “No.”
ME: (Sigh) “Oh.”
Somewhere peppered in between the Nintendo Wii games, soccer practices, birthday parties, parent-teacher conferences, swim lessons, preschool art shows, dentist appointments, and car pooling, I have my own life with no intrusions from my children.
But really, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some humor to start your work week
Poor Ed, By Unknown
Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.
His wife was really angry.
She told him, “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds
….AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!”
The next morning, Ed got up early and left for work.
When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box, gift wrapped, in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back into the house.
She opened it and found….
A brand new bathroom scale.
Ed has been missing since Friday.

Watch this video…..it’s kind of fun.
How nice it would be to get paid to dance in many exotic places around the world! And in the end, he is just a regular guy dancing with his kids.
(Hopefully I uploaded it correctly – please give me a minute to fix it if I didn’t).
