'Hester Mofet. It's an anagram, isn't it, Doctor? Hester Mofet. "The rest of me."' -Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) gets the run-around treatment courtesy Dr Hannibal Lecter
(Anthony Hopkins) in Silence of the Lambs.
Going
back in time a little here, let's take a look at Day 24 of NaPoWriMo, and the anagram challenge
they suggest.
I
used an anagram generator, one they suggested, resulting in some ridiculous word combinations.
But I also wrote out my name- MATTHEW TUCKEY- and cut the paper into
slips for each letter. This allowed me to pin down particular words
and see what other words I could create out of the remaining slips.
Here
are a few of the best:
TAKE
THY WET CUM
EAT
MY WET KUTCH
THAT
MUCK WET, YE?
I
then decided to throw in my middle name ALAN to create more combos.
WALK
A NUTTY MACHETE
WHY
LACTATE EMU TANK?
ACTUATE

There
are plenty of totally deranged images to inspire thousands of surreal
poems, including supermodel hyenas, moving parts that abduct insects,
strange reasons to be quiet on a boat, dangerous weapons with
dangerous personae of their own, aquatic lizards, the forced
consumption of seafood and arrogant camels. In fact, there's a whole
Terry Pratchett novel in there. I might come back to this over the
next few weeks.
Why
not give it a shot yourself and see what anagrams your name provides?
