   I see we have a handful here:   
      
   Steven O'Neill   
   Brooklyn, NY   
   =   
   Lively on net, only bonkers!   
      
   I am reminded of an hilarious short anagram that came up a few years ago,   
   which I had the opportunity to share.   
   I was at a comedy evening, sitting close to the front and in the very front   
   row, there was a New Yorker, who was getting the brunt of the compere's   
   attention. I handed him a slip of paper at the interval which read:   
      
   New York, USA [is an anagram of] You wankers :-)   
      
   I got a mention, and looking somewhat nerdy as I'm sure I do, earned the   
   nickname of Conan The Librarian.
