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.

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. |

We're supposed to unscramble these, right? 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! |

or something like that? |

Quasi-legal double post... Sui wrote: Oh, err, Jones? One's got me confused here...
Quote: "Ham swoons" is a single letter off "Swooshoman". Did you forget the o, or is the correlation a coincidence? You know what's funny? In all these years I never noticed that "o" in there. Totally my bad, you've got it right. |

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 |

WHY DOES NO ONE REMEMBER ME ANYMORE? Sorry Jesty. I did remember you, but then.. forgot you again. I like CT's suggestion, but I'd switch it around: Sultry Jane.
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. |

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... |

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. |
