Not sure what's going on? Scroll down to the replies and you'll get the idea. Please be considerate and post your solutions in spoilerese (i.e. white on white) like Sui here.

Update: I've changed #40 after Sui pointed out that I suck at life. It's still the same name, just a new (read: accurate) anagram.

Update 2: I've also changed #4. They should all be good now.

Update 3: I just realized (thanks to Sui, of course) that one name is present twice (two different anagrams). I have no idea what was wrong with me when I made this, but consider it a little added challenge.
  1. Drat, Kevin!
  2. A bond
  3. Axial servicer
  4. Not sending
  5. Poor crufty logo
  6. In rear
  7. Is muddy
  8. A slim giantess' shins
  9. Not a blight
  10. Go risk lint
  11. Help a feeler mitt, minx
  12. Shot a green toe
  13. Beneath a murky elf
  14. Bare lot
  15. Most pink
  16. Middle slime
  17. Shoo, imp!
  18. Never clad
  19. A necktie hog
  20. A sushi with hair
  21. A scant dragon
  22. Sunk raft
  23. Icky bear
  24. Chop off cute fee
  25. Sedan
  26. Lark's perm
  27. Jan's loco acid
  28. A longer moppet
  29. A father chews
  30. Adopt a pert cult
  31. Mix a tenth limp feeler
  32. Cow tees
  33. Grilled moth toys
  34. U.K. fry ref
  35. Kiev Rubdown
  36. He's pulp
  37. Dr. or Ma?
  38. Just rue jam
  39. Hot Enid
  40. Show Mao, son
  41. Thy zip or zap
  42. Rip a gut, Dr. Freak
  43. Negligence turns minor
  44. Why hit on yon object?
  45. Intense jot or purr
  46. Final goon
  47. Do a slug
  48. Waxy ilk
  49. Sting no pop
  50. They govern a bed
  51. Joy, a dye!
  52. Cryptic neon byte beeper
  53. Grand sort
  54. Discolor a character
Congrats to Sui, who got all 54 in about two hours, seventeen minutes! Sui wins a nice cuddle with BTG on the Brokeback Futon.

They're anagrams of forumer names! I already found my own, Ikal--ahh, I can't spell! Ikalwyx? Teff, Ramrod, Didymus, I think maybe Strong Rad...

My favorite? "A sushi with hair." XD No idea who that is yet, though.

Ah, you're catching on! I knew you were a clever bunch. First person to post a complete solution gets to [s]be an admin for a day[/s] cuddle on StrongRad's futon with BTG.

I'ma gonna take a wild guess and say #48 is Ikwaylx.

Dang. Sui is on a roll.

And FYI, in a couple of cases I've tweaked people's names to make them easier to anagram or to un-holiday-ify them. However, it shouldn't make them any harder to decipher. I'd like to be more specific, but I'd be giving things away.

Go go go!

Bleh. How do you do a spoiler tag again?
Is it:
Code:
[spoiler] stuff [/spoiler]


or something like that?

There's no spoiler tag. Just do white-on-white:

Code:
[quote][color=white] stuff [/color][/quote]

You know what's funny? In all these years I never noticed that "o" in there. Totally my bad, you've got it right.

AHA! An admin double posted. Everyone yell at him.

I don't even know what Quasi-legal means anyway.

Ah, thank you, as that puts my list at 53 out of 54... dratted "Sinning tong". Even a look through the first ten pages of the memberlist didn't find anything with the right letters, so I think I'll just leave that one and hope it strikes me later today. XD

:blush: Uh... yeah, I totally screwed that one up as well. It's fixed now, and you shouldn't have any trouble figuring it out.

Sorry Jesty. I did remember you, but then.. forgot you again. I like CT's suggestion, but I'd switch it around: Sultry Jane. :D

Lots of people got left out, some because I was getting tired and some because they were more or less impossible to anagram. It's nothing personal.

Good point. But I kind of liked the sound of it, like it was the name of a femme fatale super spy who has lots of Bond-esque flings with gorgeous male supermodels in order to weasel the plans for the Doomsday Ray Device from them...

Well, looks like Sui won. Drat.

Although I can't really say I'm disappointed I didn't get a trip to the Brokeback Futon. :eek:

Err, I was just doing it for the thrill of the chase. The excitement of the hunt. The glory of the conquest. Yes, it was done as a heroic deed, and as a hero, I cannot accept any reward for my services. Nope. Nosiree. None whatsoever.

I think it's a little ironic that the guy who solved them the fastest is one of the people whose name is impossible to anagram.

Here's a special bonus round in your honor:
  1. Usi
  2. Siu
  3. Uis
  4. Isu
  5. Ius

Yessir.

Here a few anagrams from Kingdom of Loathing: (note: most of these are video game related in some way)

#1 A COHERENT NYLON BEE
#2 A NETTLED HOPS STINK (hint: think zelda)
#3 LETHAL TWIN FIN BEAT
