Anagram Contest

Dates

This contest ran from 12/18/99 to 12/28/99.

Prizes

The winner and first runner up are awarded a brand spanking new official RinkWorks ball point pen each. The winner is also awarded, in addition, an official RinkWorks honey dipper.

Rules

Come up with the funniest and strangely appropriate anagram for one of the RinkWorks site names. Anything that appears as a link in the Site Index on the RinkWorks front page may be made into an anagram eligible for this contest.

You may use an anagram generator such as http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/ or http://www.easypeasy.com/cgi-bin/anagrams/r-us.pl. The trick, of course, is to pick a good one out of the sometimes thousands that these anagram generators produce.

Because of the sheer number of possibilities for this contest, you are limited to eight official entries per person. I welcome more, however, and so please feel free to submit any number beyond that, but please denote which eight are your official contest entries.

Feedback

I've long been a fan of anagrams, and so this contest was particularly interesting to me. I was going to attempt a throw-away subpage of RinkWorks that included anagrams of the various RinkWorks site features. Then I decided that a contest would accomplish the same thing, be more complete, and provide you folks with something more to do here. The contest was, as usual, difficult to judge. I received many wonderful entries from you all, and I thank you for your participation.
