Welcome to this group = Writes up hot gem. Cool!
Entertainment Nom.
If you've been lurking you'll know our welcome is to anagram your name.
Mike Keith = Kith me, Ike!
So your name's not Ike and I don't usually speak with a lithsp, but 2 Ks in your
name!

In that case you get your name anagrammed. A middle name would help but
"I milk cheetah" has a certain surreal quality to it.
Rearranging the letters of 'Michael Keith' gives:
Cheat like him. I'm hi-tech leak.
Eh! I thick male. I'm a hi-tech elk.
Hi! Ahem! tickle. Eh! I am the lick.
He thick, I lame. I milk cheetah.
Eh! him like cat. Make the chili.
The following are the longest words made using some of the letters:
Elamitic malekite
ethical cat-like
climate cheetah

As I've said, I'm no fan of surrealistic anagrams--too easily
found in the meaningless output of anagram programs. But
this, which I'd guess is not program output, made me laugh
so hard I lost my towel. Hee!

I think the term "surrealistic" needs a little more refinement.
By analogy to art, Dali was the archetypical surrealist, the first
step in painting's descent into the netherland of modernistic
unrealism. He still dealt with recognizable objects, and in a
rather amusing and fascinating way.
Let's take a phrase which has already been beaten to death:
The Microsoft Corporation
The following would be an example of an unrealistic set:
I format this poor concerto.
Come snort horrific potato.
Chronic timer of poor toast.
(Even these didn't jump out so easily from the list
produced by Anagram Genius.)
There is no relationship to the original. Words are
to sentences, as pigment is to a canvas, and just as
you might think you see something in a picture that
has been produced by hurling paint wads across a room,
any connection to reality has to be tortuously imagined.
I suppose there is an even lower rung of anagram Hell
inhabited by those who would add to meaninglessness,
ungrammaticality. But those are regions I do not care
to venture into.
In contrast, the following are from one of Wayne's great
surrealistic sets:
Sorry! The Scots are NOT mean... =
Aye. Northernmost Socrates. (The Shetland Greeks?)
Ye canna storm the roosters! (They'll rip yer pate off)
(Commentary is often integral to the appreciation)
What anagram generator is going to have "canna" in
its dictionary? It takes a mind that is warped in
just the right kind of way to come up with beauties
like these (perhaps from too close proximity to those
fourteen flavor changing neutral current lepton family
number violating decays of the charmed D+ meson)
By the way, while I was working on the Microsoft set
I happened to stuble across the following:
Profit corrosion to the Mac.

I'm honored, except in the UK and dominions, where honour reigns. As I've
written before, though not where any of you on alt.anagrams could read it,
it's all in the dictionary, unless you happen to have a nice surrealistic
grammar tree handy. In fact my "From Polychords to Pólya" anagrams were all
machine rendered, some minor formatting being done by hand. The human part
comes in having phrases like "Tory MP" and "hoopy frood" available to work
with, and then having an eye for possibilities as they scroll by. That
phrase, in the context of the program output, looked like this:
Royal School of dorty ppm
far too sloppy chromyl do

far too sloppy moloch dry
far too sloppy CDROM holy

Well, my dictionary, in fact. Thanks for asking!

Guilty as charged (+/- 2/3 e). Speaking of warped, it looks like
Richard's been inhaling the ten-dimensional wookie smog again.
Or studying QCD. But then, science is stranger than fiction.

Certainly, I agree that surrealism is a slippery slope to unrealism,
ennui, and boredom. Hence, I won't post all the intermediate junk
that shows up between the points of apposition in my generator's stream
of unconsciousness. Which brings up Letterman's opinement:

My inflated ego notwithstanding, I'll certainly continue posting anagrams
I enjoy, regardless of their chances of "success" in the Anagrammys, getting
published in books, producing fan mail, or getting an invitation to the
Letterman show. ;-) My point wasn't that I was toning down ("realing down"?)
my submissions, but that my tastes had improved, due in part to my
participation in this newsgroup. I still find my collection of 333 anagrams
of IBM to be fascinating, even if Philip wouldn't. Most of them have nothing
to do with Big Blue, but I can see where they could have a surprising meaning
to someone else. I keep the web page available for those serendipitous
moments when someone with a search engine discovers that a personally relevant
phrase anagrams to IBM, which may also be relevant. It may never be that
"So, Sam Nunn's in the Israeli cabinet?" achieves relevance in anybody's life,
but I lose my towel over it. But I'll never (except for this once, I promise)
post "Establish unicorn inanimateness", because, even though it's a real
anagram, I dare say most of you would find it boring. "The Stones: luminaries
in cannabis" I might post, but only in the right context. Often, the context
has to be manufactured, as in the commentaries with some of my posts. These,
in fact, I would prefer not to include, since the anagrams should stand on
their own. But sometimes, a bit of history is in order, and sometimes, you'd
never imagine what I was thinking if I didn't give you a hint.

I have to agree wholeheartedly. Enough rambling for now!
