Morning ,
I like anagraming things , you often find odd almost explanatory phrases or at least ones that make you raise an eyebrow.
I also study them occasionally as they are used in magick studies and mysticism. Another subject I've always been interested in .
Anyway , I just thought I'd anagram " starfish prime"
"Starfish Prime was a July 9, 1962, high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the United States, a joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Defense Atomic Support Agency. It was launched from Johnston Atoll and was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space and one of five conducted by the US in space."

I found it can anagram to "Seraphim Rifts"
"Seraphim" as winged celestial beings with a fiery passion for doing God's good work.
"Rift" -noun
a crack, split, or break in something.
"the wind had torn open a rift in the clouds"
No real point to this , it was just so cool I had to share it .

"Clint Eastwood" anagrams to "Old west action"
We have a winner!
I think the Virginia Bottomley one still beats the Ginola one.
Famous racehorse runs in reverse to commit capital crime
"Tony Blair MP" is maybe better satire (with increasing irony by the day) as Virginia looks a bit tame on the tory evil stakes these days.
Just for you... I will scold heat
Sell, bugger art!
War, etc.
I just rub a rash; rum!

As a writer, I know only too well that it’s very hard work. But fortunately, I dishonor graft not; and anyway, I’m the daft honoring sort, though I should make it quite clear that I do nothing for rats.
So I spend a lot of my time in my office (aka my ‘draft-honing roost’, which now that I’m writing a biography of my famous air speed record-breaking great uncle is better described as a donnish RAF grotto) trying to turn froth into dragons. But sadly, I often produce nothing better than droning foot trash that leaves my donators frothing.
But I never give up; and while I’m definitely not the font-hoarding sort, I am a bit of a perfectionist and work really hard. I usually like to read aloud what I’ve written, waving my arms around as I do so. It can get quite hot, and earlier this summer I was reduced to wearing nothing but my indoor fart thongs while doing my fond orator’s thing.
One evening I couldn’t find my thongs, so I had to resort to the emergency measure of putting a dishrag onto front …
Knights Templar = Thank Mr Piglets = Mr Gasket Plinth
Dad, why is my sister called Teresa?
Well son, you know how your mum loves Easter? Teresa is an anagram of Easter.
Thanks Dad.
You are welcome Alan.

> Electromagnetic = Conceit Telegram
I don’t really get what is funny or “accidentally clever” with this one. I’d ask you to explain but I think I ended up on your “don’t interface with” list in the small hours of Sunday morning
Good morning,
In the spirit of friendliness blue I shall explain my thinking (although with things like this it’s in the imagination and interpretation that the fun lies) but just for you.
Conceited = excessively proud of oneself; vain.
Telegram = A telegram is a written message transmitted by using an electric device. The message was carried along wires.
Imagine the telegram is boastful of it’s speed and efficiency over a regular postal service .
A telegram is sent via an electronic device = electromagnetic if you will.
To use the old phrase
In this case “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”
Regards
TWS
Thank you. I did understand that you meant the telegraph was conceited, but your anagram is blaming electromagnetism. It simply does not work. The telegraph is the inherently conceited thing; it is a conceited use of electromagnetism.

I don't agree I'm afraid .
Never mind though horses for course.
wireless technology is open to conceit "Look I can get news at home without wires!". Size mattered. The length and girth of one's wireless mast and the supported wire should impress the neighbours.
The putting up af a highly visible wireless aerial in the 1920s was a sure sign of one "getting on" in the world. A phenomenon repeated in the 50s and 60s by the TV aerial and in the late 60s and 70s by a UHF aerial showing who could get BBC2 and see in higher definition than 405 lines.
That is the electromagnetic realm providing conceit at a personal level
Yes but isn't that a bit like blaming the concept of roads, for the phenomenon of people pimping their ride?

Did you say a while ago that you were writing a sci fi novel?
well it all boils down to semantics and personal interpretation in the end. That's the beauty of not trashing the English language.
>Did you say a while ago that you were writing a sci fi novel?
Yes, I wrote a sci-fi novel, got a publisher, but then - for various reasons - I pulled it. I may publish it in a few years time. I've been working on the biography for 7 years now ... probably about a year to go (other things have come in the way).
