Rathergate story, told in anagrams of "Instapundit."
Regular readers will have noticed my fondness for anagrams. I recently started anagramming the names of some of my favorite blogs, and made an interesting discovery: I could tell the entire Rathergate story using only anagrams for Instapundit. Here it is.
Disputant in
Unpaid Stint
by
Titan du Spin.
Dan puts it in.
“Tut, Dan!” I snip.
“Dan? Nut!” I spit.
I stand, input.
I sit, punt Dan.
Stint up, Dani!
Dan in tits-up.*
I'm going to attempt the same feat with anagrams of Little Green Footballs and Powerlineblog. I'll post what I have as soon as I've completed it.
Update: Glenn says I have too much time on my hands. Guilty as charged, m'lud!Update: Check out the new set: Rathergate story, as told in anagrams of "Little Green Footballs."
Update: Now the Powerlineblog anagram story is up.

Perfect. Anagram reporting seems exactly the right note to take for some stories.

Wow! I did not think it was possible to do such a thing. My kids and I were pretty happy with this palindrome when the Iraq war started: Mad dash, eh, Saddam?

I'm afraid that, yes, anagramming is one of my hobbies.
And I'm a she. But I guess I do kind of write like a man, at that. :-)

Perhaps too much time, but wonderfully wasted!
Thanks for the larf.

Apologies, Ma'am. *tips hat*
I suppose if I'd paid attention to the right column about section, I would've known your gender. :-)

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

Initial thoughts on onpeing the box were that it was presented in a rather amateurish fashion. Second thoughts were it is rather amateurish! However, for all its simplicity, on actually playing the game (with a very competitive husband), it is quite addictive. The rules are very few and simple, which is one of the plus points. If you like word games you will love this.
