Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
Below is a list of anagrams. The anagrams are in capital letters and each anagram represents a person. (The story bears no relevance to the anagrams; rather the story is merely a thread to bind the anagrams together).
There are two tasks to perform here: Each anagram is a person, and your task is to decipher and discover their name. The second task is to work out what occupation these people have in common?
"Do you know my so-called friend called me A MONSTROUS GIRL?"
"Really?" replied my sister, "that's what I call VILE SADISM. I think HE IS A WART!"
"By the way", I said, "I had another friend who thought I looked like A CUTIE SNOB. Personally, people who are really nice, resemble a GODLIKE TUNNEL".

Sorry guys ... but thanks for your nice comments anyway.
Jazz, I love your teasers, but I'm so lost when you do them with musicians, because in that area, I'm totally ignorant, except I knew Louis Armstrong.
(I mean I knew who he was, not him personally, of course.)
That was hard, but I got most of them. Good one Jazz.
Sorry blondie....
