Fun Website Find

I'm a big fan of Lost. It is one of the few shows that my husband and I sit down and watch together and on the night it airs most of the time. If you are a fan of Lost, you know that many of the business names and such that are seen on the show appear to be anagrams, planted by the writers.

In reading up on Lost, my husband came upon this fun website that generates anagrams for whatever phrase you would like.

For a great recap, check out Rocks In My Dryer's weekly Lost post. She does a great job with recapping the episode, provides a quote of the night and many of the comments provide links to other recaps/theories. I find that if you read a recap, often times you read about things that you noticed, but didn't pay much attention too. I think it helps me more fully analyze the episode.

Fun with Words

I'll admit this came to me today in an e-mail, with no source information. I removed a couple of the words.

I am a sucker for word and number games, so this was right up my alley. I love to play Scrabble and figure out words to build. I like playing how many words can you make from "xxx". I've even played a version of that game at a baby shower, where you try to build first names for baby out of "MomName and DadName LastName". You can get some pretty interesting names for baby that way.

Someone had some free time to come up with these. I found these entertaining, hope you do too...
