What’s hot on the ‘Net today? Anagramming transit maps. I thought “No way could Tokyo’s subway map be anagrammed, ” but I tried today while waiting for Hello Tokyo renders. And I was surprised at the good anagrams I got. Yotsuya = You Stay!
Here’s the Marunouchi line from Ikebukuro out to the branches past Shinjuku:
- Our UK Bike
- I Toss A Hunk
- I Dam Agony
- Korean UK
- Change Homo Son
- Inca Hum Zoo
- Oh CIA Jaw
- Omit Each
- OK Toy
- A Zing
- I Game a Uk Kiss
- Jim Kodak Agio Ike
- Make Saki Ask Tau
- You Stay
- Mushy Ocean Toys
- Gymnasium Hue Joke
- Haunches Join Musk
- Hi U.S. Junk
- Juicy Sushi Ink, Huh?
- Hush, I Injun Ski
- Kane Oak Sauna
- Enough Jacksonian Hookum
- Banish Omaha Skin
- Hijack Foam Union
- Ann Hooch
- Hosannah Kin
- Hiking Shoe JAI
- She Join Kin
- Gamy Asia Mania
- Go UK Bio
Do you want to do the Ginza, Hibiya, Tozai, Chiyoda, Yurakucho, Hanzomon, Namboku, Askausa, Mita, Shinjuku or Oedo lines?
The reference map is rosen_eng.pdf and you’ll find the Anagram Server is a big help. If you put your anagrams in the comments, I’ll change the text on the map and publish it here.
