   I'll leave the less easy one in here for further head-scratching.

   Them's the little lights that bedeck Christmas trees and so on.  For   
   those tasked with untangling the beasties or determining which bulb   
   has made the whole string go dark, they may also represent   
     frailty (sigh)   
   And, if overdone, strung every which way, they may   
     fit garishly.

   And now there's the matter of the traditional welcome to alt.anagrams.   
   Which is rather tricky in the absence of a middle name or similar.   
   The nominative determinists might be forced to conclude that you   
   operate an   
       Icky convent cam   
      
   If we go with 'Mister Vincent Maycock', we get:

         Mentor? Mystic? Nick Cave?   
            (or  Most men cry it: "Nick Cave!" )   
         Tricky name convicts me   
            (other options:  'Tricky convict' means me   
                              Meany! Tricks! Convict me! )   
      
   Perhaps a new thread is in order.
