Ana-Grams

Harmonies (not!) = NOISE

Fish milkshake = KLIM

Unknown Madonna = Anon

Marmite couple = Item

Here's one open to some improving:

Spineless Monica = Seles

A one-word definition for Ms Seles would be a better fit than her name but "ex-sportswoman" doesn't do it for me.

Maybe "Spineless stabbee" but I'm sure someone can do better.

I think this is gonna be a big thread, DA...

Absorbent pigs = boars

Celebrity cointoss = icon

Rod's ascendance = canes

Freeloader nightmare = ordeal

Dancers outperform = troupe

Freemason whinges = moans

Badgering redhead = ginger

Carefree people = race

Carsick curve = Arc

Clothing outrage = Gear

game fixing = gin

Beatnik's film = Skin

Taste ripeness = sense

if Reese got a role in law & order:

Detective Witherspoon = snoop

agreed mauve, this has potential to be enormous

dislike spinnerets = resent
post splitends = send
appropriate beatitudes = suited
Gordon's undoing(!) = gin

im sure there's a gordon out there that one applies to

im not so sure about the use of "mate" as a signpost, but here goes:

stalemate distractor = astle

Mayve dg's gin could be mixing drink ?

Perhaps Mayve should be maybe? (not attempting to stand on mauve's toes)

Walnuts rule! = Law

fellow creature = elf
pillow talk = lip
go batshit = stab

ready megahit = game

stop trickster = rest

Created indecorum = coined

Perhaps the shortlist can be based on the alphabet - according to answers?

Nah. I'm just relying on your own filters, sending in the duck's nuts. And so far, that's working: some wonderful clues.

Mr X...suggestion for your Monica-

Spineless backhander = Seles

Sims marathons = Ashton
new marathoner = another
Margaret Fine = great
steak marinade = Diane

martyr torment = try

shoot messenger = green
Nancy's distemper = Sid

Tipperary appeal = prayer

Stewart's highlight = Star

Pygmy demigod = midge
favourable period = ripe
Koori city = Rio
almost Korean = near
lamb korma = ram

This is too addictive...

mnemonic produce = cue
countermand curse = damn
burgers constipate = patties

masseuse network = seams
arouse / stir = oar
bribe spouse = sop
espouse position = pose
misuse dogma = ism

Or:

Spineless lobster?

JPR
Sour margravine = vinegar
Romanoff residence = manor

skips spatterdashes = patters
spindrift bites = nips
remedy haberdash = rehab
adjusts antibacterials = calibrates

ripper salesman = rep

refined villain = fiend

reversed stud = served

intuits oddnesses = senses

Chancing my arm at a few &lits to mix things up (so to speak):

Ocean craft! = canoe
Lovely return! = volley
Bad Santa! = Satan
Poorly filled! = ill fed
Funeral shambles! = real fun
Remote rock! = meteor
Bobbing aloft! = float
Disturbed evangelists! = evil's agents
Latent madness?! = talent
Actor's actor?! = co-star
Ruthless deviates! = hustlers
Nameless deviates! = salesmen

And I know uniworders aren't strictly on the agenda, but in the name of brevity I'm having a go:

Disinfection! = fine tonic
Miswired! = weird

Don windcheater = teacher
Scorns wilderness = sneers
Sunbeam Mixmaster = stream

...and in the category of gratuitous sucking up to the judges...

Fantales celebrity = Astle

ps. Gotta love Sam's shot messenger. Simple, but beautiful.

And in case we're shortlisting according to the alphabet:

Rex, perhaps!? = Xer

or by shortest answer (and entering SK's new category):

Admire headspinner? = DA

perfect psychedelia = ideal
xenophobic cows = oxen

clusterbomb trade = cutlers
fandango ball = gonad (fails the breakfast test!)
margarine dieter? = gainer
elemental shelter = lee

illustrate quality = stature
numbered game = deer
acts desolate = does
escalate situation = case
translate rhetoric = rants

ribald youngster = lad

Finally got the Mac back from my son...

Illegal wind = gale

Detects madnesses = senses

Moisturize mincemeats = steam

Pioneer newsletter = settler

Impulsive sharpie = rash

Deep wreckages = sage

Offensive desires = envies

(losing at poker helped with the last one)

actual currencies = sincere
holy curtains = saint

wingspan curve = swing
jarring smile = grin

Network X = ten
Idle Mobster = rest

Apparently "actor" is stretching it as a signpost, so:

Actor's sidekick?! = co-star

Incidentally I'd find it really helpful to have dud signposts outed in the weekend wrap, rather than just omitted from the shortlist, if you have the energy DA?

Absorbent pigs = boars
incumbent spice = cumin

Veritable mixture= true
cryptic decorum = code

Bag Supertramp = purse
Vampire's father = sire
B-beatbox = beta
sustain turner = Tina
Queensland Narcissus = Cairns
summon Pegasus = page
best counterstain = trounce

Apologies if this one's already been done. Considering we must be well into the hundreds of entries, it's easy to overlook one:

Marsala, unfortunately = Alas

And I think the "spineless lobster" has aced it.

Socialist Bumpkin = Pink

(I think "Bumpkin prick" might be a bit too saucy)

Note direction = tonic
Exile directive = evict
Gee-up stirrups = spur

And I'm with you GymBunnies...some signposts (including some of mine) look a bit iffy. Would appreciate a ruling on the weekend from the Grand Poo-Bah.

Maryland singer = Dylan

Maryland ex-governor = Landy

and, if the hyphen is verboten, then

Maryland runner = Landy

Marshier location = shire

Keep marinated = detain

I'm hearing y'all - see if I can't add a signpost checklist. (Though recently solvers have quibbled my own 'anaginds' - seems one person's service is another's mob...)

Marginal adjustment = align

wealth supertax = purse
not Tiffany = nay
nominal plaintiff? = Palin
resolve rigmarole = morale
pancreas concerns = cares
pathetic pandas = sad
panties' strip? = site
break frypan = nap
data lifespan = files

Obviously there's no exact rule for anagrinds. But what is the rule of thumb? From memory the book on cryptics I read 2 decades ago said an indicator shows something like disorder/reordering (e.g. new)/ something's wrong/unusual (e.g. mad, bad, sad, disappointing, camp, odd) or something about letters or characters, 'off' or 'out'.

I couldnt have 'actors','return' or 'pie' and 'mis-','re-' and 'free' are iffy. But it's all so subjective and veering into aesthetics territory. An official 'Cryptic Solvers of the World' rule would be good but (over)restrictive.

Arrrgh. There is no solution. Like a good writer getting their message across you'd hope the same with the setter's anagrinds. Anyway I go by the 'rule' above

Fit gearbox = rage

Redouble down = blue

Yellow-bellied rattlesnake = sneak

...that should probably be-

Yellow-belly rattlesnake = sneak

(making both definition and answer as nouns...)

sinister rituals = rites
modulates hypertension = intones
hyperspace points = capes
unsexy star = sun
open motocross = moot
support crossbar = bra
comic crossover = Rove
rampant crossfire = rife

unstitch looney = nuts
fast tsarevitch = starve
screen Bewitched = web
earthquake epicentre = heart
Bhutan capital? = hub
Tibetan spice = bite
tangible rot = bilge
tantalised dope = details

Twittered caution = deter
Tarantino-land = nation
tarantulas' food = sultana
tarnishes lustres = shines
Tweedledum quandary = muddle
Olympic megastar = Games
bags superstar = purses

Less freewill = fewer

dissident cuttlefish = leftish
torrent off = rot
indentify millstone = note
tripartite wardrobe = attire
keen developmental = lament
tip wastebin = nib

rose madder = red

... or madder! = red

and can I get away with:

sweeten sausageroll = assuage

Liking your work, Sam. Though does rot = off? Maybe not. How about:

Bilge torrent (3)

Tripartite wardrobe is excellent, and sausage roll [while ineligible for being a 3-worder] is too good to omit submitting.

As for you, dg - a torrent to transcend bilge. Some modern wonders amid your lists. I'm looking forward to assaying all posts.

As for anaginds [anagram-indicators], it is a subjective area. I've collected some fishy samples over the year, and will put them in a new post next week or so.

romantic chateau = manor
Arctic vehicle = car
antiseptic clothing = panties
artistic rise? = stair
erotic metal = ore
democratic ally? = comrade
cosmetic approaches = comes
domestic manners = modes
elastic tie = seal
erratic choice = rare
hypnotic trick = phony
majestic brown = James
monastic artisan = mason
semantic terms = names
plastic loops = laps
stalagmite point = item

thanks DA (and SK earlier) - and yes, bilge torrent is a vast improvement, off was rotten...

and making good use of your vocal antiques link:

directed agonyclite = telic

following on from one of dg's indicators 'cross' - can 'x' be a shorthand for cross? If so:

nix xenon = none
beat suplex = pulse

still pursuing minimalism:

slippage! = gape

thoroughly smoking = hot
tomorrow's car = motor

cross = angry / confront / hybrid

I don't think 'x' means the same

dg - though in plant/animal scientific names 'x' indicates a hybrid?

liked your vampire's father/thoroughly smoking very much!

Heartbreak insulator = earth
Bulldust! = stud

stirring smile = grin

ta, Sam.

Hadrian's weapon? = sarin
entrust some = ten
business ceasefire = faeces
Sapphic grudge? = chip
discharge supply = pus
impart pitch = tar
maritime impasse? = seas
impartial tether = lariat
oldies impression = seniors
improve more? = over
dug Spiderbait = prised
beat shallowly = lash
Cadbury Rose? = ruby

and edit

Democratic ally? = comrade

Brightest hippeastrum = happiest
Dog's breakfast = Staf
Number thereabout = ether
Youse (formally) = y'all

Classy late entries, xobhcnul.

Two more rental ideas:

Apparent father = papa
Transparent spare = spartan

I claim that it is not yet cocktail hour! So:

Inspect eardrum = READ
Transport illegally = GALLEY
Islamabad delicacy = SALAMI

A challenge: devise a clue where the second word, within it, contains a removal indicator. I've just wasted half an hour failing at this, but am sure someone will be up to it. For example: if "Concertndy" was a word (!), then "Concertndy coffin" could clue "trendy" via "Con" (mix) CERTNDY with "C off", meaning "in".

I've just wasted half an hour trying to understand your example JT - in a lovely brain-nourishing way of course!

Good luck with your quest!!

Like...

Congaline goutweed = alien
Newscorp scoutmaster = pro

It's well past Happy Hour and noticed the Spartan's already been captured, but was going to suggest:

Transparent Greek = Spartan

Transparent game?

for the morning after the cocktail hour...

stray hangover = rove

Many good chortles on this thread. :D

Stifflip seizures = FITS
Co-ordinate relocater = CORRELATE
Pull backward = DRAW
Mixed-bag gift = GAB
Sprocket stirrage = GEAR
Switchboard lady = BROAD
Backslap buddies = PALS

Without identification, diva did retro star?

Apologies for the late post DA, but we couldn't resist dealing one final hand:

Dealcoholises revelers = schoolies

(we prefer "Dealcoholises under-age drinkers"...)

Misdealt doctrine = ism

Spoil dealership = perish

harmonise dealings = sing

harmonies! = noise

deallocates sugar = lactose

And apologies to SK, just noticed your premier harmonies.

Сейчас отдам приказ, кивнул тот.
Прозвучавший с неба зловещий смех заставил каждого вздрогнуть. А грянувшая вслед за тем диковатая музыка перепугала многих до колик мало кто из наемников не узнал боевого гимна «Коршунов Ада». Кое-кому доводилось сталкиваться в бою с этим жутковатым легионом, и впечатление у выживших осталось одно ужас, бесконечный, невыносимый ужас. Появившийся над городом в облаке тьмы атакующий коршун окончательно развеял все сомнения в том, что произошло. А потом до наемников донеслись слова неизвестного легионера. Выслушав их, полковник выронил из мгновенно онемевших пальцев визор и опустился на траву, обхватив голову руками.
Так я же ее прочесть не смогу…
Ты действительно не понимаешь? внимательно посмотрел на гостя хозяин кабинета. Или притворяешься?
Понимаю, вздохнул тот, уже понимаю. Мы с Ником многие материалы по социальным вопросам изучили. Ладно, об этом не сейчас, вернемся к нашему разговору.
