Montreal Anagram Transit Map

Also of interest: Manhunt Montreal!

Apparently, I’ve decided that ending my weekend by creating an anagram transit map of Montreal is a good thing. I can’t believe I participated in this thing. Even worse, I can’t believe I even finished it.

Two hours later and it’s done. This is due entirely to the fact that Ella did about 75% of the anagram work and came up with almost all the really good ones. Go thank her and read her blog!

We particularly liked: Ezra Mice, A Fête In Porn, Mama’s PC Herd, London Map, and of course, Ella Reign! You?

Pssssst, are you new here? You might want to pick up my RSS feed, it'll let you know when I put up new stuff. Thanks!

    Favs: CRAP and Varicose Squirt.

    Very glad my “home” station is Rail Rue and not Manly Root

    My favourites: A Sacred Maple and Acne Front (the latter sounds like it belongs to a punk band, whereas the former would make a great indie/post-rock band name).

    TTC made the guy take his down with treats of legal action.
    Seriously… that is sad. Hope the STM lawyers have better things to do.

    Argos I Revenge is my fav.

    I began creating an anagrammed map of Montreal’s Metro last night, but haven’t submitted it to Boingboing yet (but now they already have 2, so I probably won’t).

    Atwater != A raw eat. Tell Ella she’s missing a “T”… :)

    Here are two suggestions:

    “Re: A twat”

    Or…

    “Ew, a Tart…”

    That was totally the Julien - I plead not guilty. I like Re: A twat though.
