Storigram VI
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Below is a (very) short story with 10 capitalized words or phrases which are anagrams of words that all fit in a certain category. Can you find the anagrams and determine the category?
NOTE: One of the answers contains two words.
A recently PAROLED man named Ari was going to ROB A PEARL boat of all of its FIG FARE. The boat was just off of the SHORE. He put on his BALM and donned his TOGA to SNEAK aboard. ARI GOT ALL of the NEAT HELP he needed from a safety pin that kept his toga IN PLACE.

Posted by sabrefang on Aug 25, 2006 This was easy? I found it hard... then again, I'm not too good at teasers... |
|

|
Posted by bradon182001 on Aug 25, 2006 I found this teaser easy. Once I figured out goat, it was simple. Good wake me up this morning. Thanks for the fun.  |
|
Posted by kman613 on Aug 25, 2006 I like anagrams - a couple were very easy, making the category easy to figure out, but a few took a few minutes. Liked it - thanks! |
|
Posted by marschie on Aug 25, 2006 Fooled me: For the two word one, I got "GORILLA AT"  |
|
Posted by Badger on Aug 25, 2006 Lots of fun! Great teaser! Almost thru in the towel on "in place", but stuck with it and it finally popped. Thank you very much for submitting. |
|
Posted by ItsJustWildman on Aug 25, 2006 Unlike Badger, I threw in the towel on IN PLACE. I lived in Louisiana for 2 1/2 years and still couldn't get pelican!!  I enjoyed this teaser! Very Good! |
|
Posted by Scitchr on Aug 25, 2006 Like the two part solution. |

|
Posted by RRAMMOHAN on Aug 25, 2006 I love anagrams and could get all except polar bear! Silly of me. The story was quite good, and it must have been hard work to think of all the links. Great job done, and I appreciate that.  |
|

|
Posted by Pizzazz2u on Aug 25, 2006 I am NOT much of an anagram man, but this was very entertaining and good for a morning lift. You put some heavy effort into this one and I commend you. WTG! |
|
Posted by FeaerFactorY666 on Aug 25, 2006 Very nice! |
|

Posted by blondebookworm on Aug 25, 2006 Anagrams are so much fun! I got most, but missed a couple. thanks for the great teaser! you put a lot of work into it!  |
|
Posted by calmsavior on Aug 25, 2006 i kinda found it easy but it was very fun!  |
|
Posted by heyman on Aug 25, 2006 Pelican was the hard one. Great puzzle. |
|
Posted by jabdr on Aug 25, 2006 This was great! Like others, didn't get pelican but was very clever. |
|
Posted by iteachkids on Aug 25, 2006 S Very Clever! |
|

|
Posted by bluehawk on Aug 26, 2006 oh...my...god..., I didn't get a one Better luck next time 4 me. Good job. |
|
Posted by utnative on Aug 26, 2006 i got 4 out of the 10. first i had to look up anagram in the dictionary.   very good teaser. you must have worked really hard on it. great job. |
|
Posted by vlerma on Aug 27, 2006 As everyone said Phrebd, you did a super job of putting this story together and the two part thingy made it just that much more fun. I figured out the animal part as I did get some of them right, just not all of them. This was fun. More, please! |
|
Posted by Qrystal on Aug 30, 2006 yep I couldn't get pelican either ..... i just toyed with the letters, mixed this way and that, and gave up after 49 variations. The one that sounded closest to actually being an animal was: "lepican", which, now that I know the answer, was painfully close. Anyways, I had fun, and I enjoyed actually GETTING the rest of the anagrams! I think I may go seek out the rest of the storigrams just because.... |
|
Posted by luvdoritos706 on Aug 31, 2006 nice one....i got the theme but polar bear and pelican got me...good stuff though |
|
Posted by Interpreter2 on Sep 05, 2009 This was fun! I figured out half of them rather quickly, and came up with animal as the category. But I didn't have time to figure the rest, so I had to cheat and peek at the answers. Thought Polar Bear was Boar something! Great fun! |
|
Posted by doehead on Sep 05, 2009 Easy and good. |
|
Posted by auntiesis on Sep 05, 2009 Once I read the hint I started to make headway. Without knowing it was all animals I was stumped. Even with the hint I missed giraffe. Great quiz, made me think. |
|
Posted by UptheHill on Sep 05, 2009 |
|
Posted by wicked_one on Sep 06, 2009 Got them all but some of them made me think more... Nice!! |
|
Posted by Babe on Sep 06, 2012 Good teaser ove figuring these out |
|
Posted by HABS2933 on Sep 06, 2012 I really enjoyed this teaser. I didn't look at the hint until it was mentioned in some of the above comments. Didn't need to. GOAT and LAMB were easy to figure, which gave the category. After that, it was pretty easy to finish. |
|
Posted by gaylewolf on Sep 06, 2012 Loved this one - thanks! |
|
Posted by iggy39 on Sep 06, 2012 really fun and i did't get polar bear and i gave u[ on pelican because i thought that one was two words. |
|
Posted by eamon on Sep 06, 2012 I got CAPELIN for the last one ( a small fish like a sardine) instead of pelican. |
|
Posted by Maggiethe8th on Sep 08, 2012 Missed a couple , but enjoyed the whole thing! |
|
Posted by makani on Nov 30, 2012 I love these stories. The concept is fun, and the stories are entertaining. They remind me of mad libs, where you can make the story funny without making real sense. Now if only I could actually solve these''' Anyhow, thanks for the entertainment. |
