Smuggled Goodies

To kick off, from a literary critic:

Finnegan's Wake - INANE
The Da Vinci Code - HEAVE

Such a shame we can't pay Julia Gillard (JUGULAR)...

Oprah, of course, would be even better if WHINY - but I'll take OPINE.

Let it go, Anthony. I've only just stopped sooking about CHRISTMAS cheating me on CRASS.

Here's another:

Evander Holyfield - EAR HELD

Shirley Strickland - SHE RAN

This should be fun...

Osama Bin Laden is MAD (and BAD)

...And I'm about to get on a plane to LA, which made me think of AN OLD SHAGGER (the Governator)

Schapelle - CELL

(but Ivan Milat is not quite an INMATe)

Julian Assange= an ass
Wikileaks= weak
Richard Morecroft= charmer

I remember MAD Magazine did this during my primary school years.
All I can remember at the moment is "A VERY BrADy SEQUEL"

Nice boxing link DA. It's a pity Britney Spears never entered the ring (apart from all the other crazy stuff) and BITE EARS.

And Diego Maradona was EGO MAD (still is)

A couple of Labor PMs-

Paul Keating had many PUKING, and Gough should have had the GG HIT.

Is it just me, or have SK and xobhcnul just set the bar above our mortal heads? SHE RAN and AN OLD SHAGGER are stunning.

Game on.

Oh, and Nib's CHARMER is a belter too. Let's pace ourselves - we have till Thursday!

struggling on this...

THE ROLLING STONES = HEROES
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band = INTENSE

They ain't easy, dg. Hence my shock at the early pace. Some humbler offerings by contrast:

Stephen Hawking - SEEKING
Kama Sutra - AMAS/AMAT

And on to reflect on the under-funded Aussie film industry:

Animal Kingdom - MAKING DO

Oscar Wilde - card

A bit obscure, but road signs were a common raw material used in her artwork:

Rosalie Gascoigne - sign

SK says Osama Bin Laden is MAD (and BAD)

but he's also (for the purposes of this storm) SANE and ABLE

MATTHEW FLINDERS - THE FINDER

Paris Hilton - PAIN
Reg Grundy - RE RUN
Norman Gunston - NONG

The Sixth Sense - I SEE (dead people)

NICOLE KIDMAN = NICE KID

BAZ LUHRMANN = BARMAN

James Garner = MEGA

Homer Simpson = HOON
Cosmo Kramer = SMOKER
Green Day = RED (left-wing), GREY or perhaps GAY

Jackson Five = JIVE

Devil = evil
Albert Einstein= best
Marie Curie = a cure?
Spice Girls = pigs

Sixth Sense = tense
Passion Of The Christ = pass on this
Inception = inept
The Godfather = he got her
Lord Of The Rings = long

When can we reference Naomi Watts? NOW

Christopher Skase: CHASE; RISK
Salman Rushdie: SANE, RUDE, MUSH, RUSE

Thought Naomi Watts could be an OMIT this Storm!

Paul Jennings = PUNNING
Budweiser = BEER
Glenn McGrath = LENGTH

And xobhcnul, for Paris Hilton, PRISON

Friedrich Nietzsche = FRESH

Christopher Hitchens is HISTORIC, TRES POSH

Rupert Everett is equally good playing a PEER or PERVERT

Adolph Hitler is definitely A DOLT

Jacques Cousteau is bilingually watery: AQUEOUS EAU

Those who contemplate David Foster Wallace's characters will discover ALL ARE SAD.

Depending on your politics:
ROBERT KATTER = BRAT or BERK

(MATT) PRESTON = PESTO

AGATHA CHRISTIE = AGHAST

DOROTHY MILES (a sign language poetess) = RHYMES

Can I twist the format for
CAMERON, JAMES = CAMERAS

Depending on her character:
ANGELINA JOLIE = ANGEL IN A LIE

Too obvious?

Cate Blanchett plays Blanche

We now know Hugh Jackman isn't indestructible. He's only Human

SOCRATES = ORATES
EDWARD CULLEN = DULL
RENE DESCARTES = ENDEARS
EUCHARIST = CHRIST
WILLIAM ARCHIBALD SPOONER = I AM A RIBALD ONE

THOMAS EDISON = MASON
and his doppelganger:
NOSIDE SAMOHT = NO IDEA

Some humdingers, Nib, while Cousteau and Pesto Preston sit as high as Human Hugh.

Maybe I'm lowering the mood with:

Haiti = HIT
Steve Bradbury = STEADY

Lasseter's Reef - assets

William Buckley - lucky

And Shane Warne can blame all of his exra-marital activities on his name:
HE is AWARE A NEW 'SHE' is NEAR HERE.
WARN HER
HE wants his SHARE.

Its taken a while to get one with Ms Watts but:
King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie has NAOMI

Back to cricket, Dennis Lillee = LINE

LINE is there, but only if you look at Dennis in hindsight, robskee - just like the quickie's own backward glances.

We never learn the name of the wife in Rebecca by DAPHNE DU MAURIER, but she is DEMURE.

Kid's these days will read a book about magic and wizards? You must be JOKING.

Who shot down Manfred Albrecht von Richtofen? Letterwise not Brown, Popkin, Evans or Buie - though RED BaRON is almost in there...

Noted. Also I should have specified:

In retrospect, a close reading of David Foster Wallace's characters reveals ALL ARE SAD.

You might bump into Indira Naidoo at an INDIAN DO, and Joe Hockey doesn't have the build for JOCKEY, but David Schwimmer is an AVID SWIMMER.

Likewise, Layne Beachley didn't win all those titles as she LAY on the BEACH, and Steve Elkington was once the TEE KING.

Turning to cinema, a list of academy awards will show Martin Scorcese's MAIN SCORES. Tom Hanks gives THANKS for his success, and Anne Hathaway has A NEAT WAY of acting. Julia Roberts terrorised JURORS and LIARS in Erin Brokovich (if you could stop looking at her LOBES).

As for movie titles, the Oscar went to "No Country..." NO CON, TRY FOOL ME. And after a couple of alien abductions, the actors in "Close Encounters" would LOSE COUNT OF THEIR KIN.

My thoughts on a few films:

Sherlock Holmes: Shlock
The Jungle Book: Junk
To Kill a Mockingbird: Lacking
The Truman Show: Trash
Wild Hogs: Dog
Planet of the Apes: Plop
There's something about Mary: Threshing about
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Candy(!)
The Day After Tomorrow: Daft
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Avid punks
The Karate Kid: Hated
Anger Management: German men?
Fantastic Four: Anti-fur
The Proposal: He pops
Paris Hilton: Liked PRISON but she's also A SH*T
Pretty Woman: Petty man
What lies beneath: Whales?

Boniface, welcome. Some more:

David Bowie - A VIBE
Maria Callas - ARIA CALLS
Charlotte Rampling (with echoes of David Bowie) - HOT TRAMP

David Hicks = AVID HICK
Heather Mills = HATH ILLS
Weary Dunlop = WARD OP
John Clarke = JOKE
Gary Ablett = GRAB

while WB Yeats should have joined ranks with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg

Not sure if this got through...so apologies for any duplication-

Music- Joe Cocker was always a JOKER, and Supertramp took the UP RAMP. If you want to seduce an OLD LAY put on some Coldplay. Locally, Eskimo Joe have good SKI MOJO (in between taking party drugs), and we saw Powderfinger POWER FINER than ever in their final gigs. But will silverchair still be playing when they have SILVER HAIR?

US politics- George Washington would never have envisaged what GORE WAS INTO, and Sarah Palin sure is A PAIN. Rumour has it Bill Clinton is hiding a BILLION.

If you're right:
EDWARD BAILLEAU = DARL

If you're left:
TED BAILLEAU = DILL

Either way, at present
BAILLEAU = ILL

...and JOHN BRUMBY is probably NUMB

Although we know SARAH PALIN is A PAIN, she also has SPIN

CLINT EASTWOOD at LEAST, knows his LINES and the CAST

Here are a few Victorian Ministers

(Police) PETER RYAN, will need to PEER and PRY

(Water) PETER WALSH = PEE and WASH

Will TERRY MULDER become RULER OR RUDER or will he just TRY MUD?

HUGH DELAHUNTY has a big sister (Mary) but does he have a HUGE AUNTY?

DR. DENIS NAPTHINE = SPINE

Been out of range (Optus) on the west coast of Tasmania all week so have missed all the action (liked your scrolling cryptic though, DA)

Australia = USA

Gday Mauve - going bush, huh? Great part of the world, west Tassie.

Serena Williams = SLAMS
Laurie Oakes = LEAKS
Janette Howard = JET TO WAR [I wonder...]

If DR. DENIS NAPTHINE were a plastic surgeon, then NIP, THIN

the current line-up at the High Court:

Chief Justice Robert French - BENCH
Justice William Gummow - LAW
Justice Kenneth Hayne - KEY
Justice John Dyson Heydon - CONDONE
Justice Susan Crennan - SANE
Justice Susan Kiefel - SUE
Justice Virginia Bell - VIBE (a la The Castle)

Prince Charles = EARS! (Couldn't they PIN EARS back back then?)

Camilla Parker-Bowles = COW

More royalty...

Freddie Mercury = FIERY

Pavlov - Pal

PiRates of the Caribbean: The CUrSe of tHe Black Pearl

featured RUSH

@dg: hee hee ... COW also fits Duchess of Cornwall & Princess of Wales ... coincidence? ... I think not.

Hugh Hefner = HUG HER

William Shakespeare = washes ear
Pamela Anderson = panders

ANAGRAMS:
Pamela Anderson = panders on a male
I'm Pamela Anderson = name's a palindrome

According to this approsch, GORE is still in GOveRnmEnt

Or AL GORE in local government.

Looking forward to sifting this contraband and celebrating the top-shelfers on Saturday.
