I'm into anagrams again. I've already told several people about my brilliant English essay, so obviously I will tell more people here:
Christmas
Crams shit.
Of course, that's not original. It gets exactly about 125 results in a Google search. That is how I measure the originality of my wordplay: I do a Google search. All of my ingenious plays on words have, up to now, yielded exactly 0 results in a Google search. Until now, I have not come up with an ingenious anagram of a common word that I thought was worthy enough to input into a Google search. I don't think any meaningful anagram of a common word could be unique enough to get exactly 0 results in a Google search, so that is a consolation. However, I certainly could come up with an anagram of a phrase that would get exactly 0 results in a Google search. It wouldn't even have to be a common phrase, since an uncommon phrase can carry much more strength than an uncommon word; and, there is so much more I could do with a phrase, compared to a word. Of course, it is more work, but I have just explained why this is a good thing.
I try to put clever plays on words into my blog entries. I usually can't input them into a Google search, because their meaning depends on the context of my entry. There is no way to input Context into a Google search. I wonder how many people pick up on these clever plays on words. I wish I had an example in this entry, but no opportunity has appeared so far for a clever play on words.
This is not a play on words, but it is just as good: Second paragraph, second sentence of this entry. In a draft of this entry I explained how that sentence makes sense. The explanation was lame, so I deleted it. As a justification-in-hindsight: if someone isn't capable of understanding the Second paragraph, second sentence, they probably would have been very confused by my would-be explanation and have read it without thinking, and then they would have thought they had read my entry completely. If I was not so cynical, I think I would be disgusted by this: that people could have thought they had read my entry without understanding the things most worth understanding. Of course, if I was disgusted by this, then I would be disgusted by average human behaviour. It's easier not to care. Though, I think everyone can understand this (and look, I even made a new paragraph):
Everything I say in my blog makes sense, and probably the more confusing something seems, the more brilliant it actually is.

Steven Karp's Essays.
Stevy K.'s an ass preen.
You replaced an "s" with an "n". Try again.
LOL I'm an anagram freak too. Well, I remember a few I read in a book a few years back that are pretty cool. You probably have heard of THE EYES and THEY SEE, and THERE WE SAT and SWEETHEART, I really like how TEACHERS are CHEATERS; however, this one I DID get 0 results on google:
"To a merry Christmas and prosperous New Year."
becomes:
"Happy days return; no more scares or war times."
pretty cool huh?
Matt is back
anagrams are stupid, a waste of time, and computationally expensive to compute.
and you say poetry is a waste of time?
Tim is a little to enthusiastic for my likeing.
That is very good. I will have to outdo you, sometime.
Thank you Matthew for your unsubstantiated opinion and for begging the question.
Tim spelt correctly, used punctuation, and made only one grammatical error.
(I'm just stating facts.)
While Stevy K.'s an ass preen is not an exact anagram of Steven Karp's Essays, I agree with the spirit of the attempt.
So do I. Now I will conclude that you respect me regardless of whether or not you believe you agree.
I don't understand how you came to that conclusion, but you certainly are an ass preen.
Because I am proud to be an asshole. I'm not entirely clear on what a "preen" is.
I'll try again.

I do not think you can outdo Park Events Line. It has the spirit of the anagram on the higher level of words (as opposed to letters), as well.
