T Map Remixed with Anagrams

mbta_map_anagram.jpgA few weeks ago, Bostonist learned from the ever-awesome (but annoyingly blocked at our office) Boingboing that some clever individual had taken a map of the Tube in London and replaced all the station names with anagrams. We immediately set to work making a Boston version, but some enterprising fellow by the name of Dan Lin beat us to the punch. His map is awesome, though not for those who disapprove of curse words or suggestive phrases. Some of our favorite remixed T stops: Fields Corner = Scorned Rifle; Ashmont = Ham Snot; and Harvard = Yale (not an anagram, we know, but funny nonetheless).

(If your work is blocking Boingboing too (which is weird, 'cause it's not a dirty site), try going here. Boingboing also has a good collection of other cities' anagram maps. If you're too lazy to make your own anagrams, go here.)

Nify. I don't care about rude words, just non-words -- like "Lactern" for Central. Near as I can tell this is a typo for several different words, but most often "lectern".

True, but anagrams can be hard. In my unfinished version, I went with real words for Central - "lent car" - but I'm not sure that's much better then "lactern," which to me sounds like a special podium for breast feeding.

I didn't always use correct words. Sometimes the anagram just sounds funny enough. If you or anyone has any more comments on my choice of anagrams, possible mistakes, or suggestions, please leave a comment on my blog. I address those comments post-haste.

I live at 21088 Commonwealth in Seattle. Been up here before?
