(moderation:
Okay, by (un)popular demand, here it is: Einstein's very own, totally separate from the one on the server in Berkeley, jumbled word game.
Simple rules:
Winner posts a jumbled word or phrase.
Other people try to unjumble it.
The first person to do so, after it is confirmed by whoever posted it, posts the next word. If the poster doesn't confirm it within a reasonable time and the solver is absolutely sure, he/she may post the next one without confirmation.
Multiple posts, and multiple guesses within a post ARE allowed.
Silly definitions of obviously incorrect solutions are optional but usually appreciated.
If no one gets it after a day or two, the poster may give hints.
Discussion of anything posted in the thread is allowed at any time, although it should stay at least somewhat related to the posts.
It is highly suggested that the poster either write down the correct word or send her/himself a PM with it.

So close, and yet so far. That is incorrect.

*focus on point above David's right shoulder* These may be a little... advanced for even the most modern dictionary but I'll give them a try anyway...

One more rule I forgot to mention: use of an internet word scrambling/descrambling site is considered cheating.
Needless to say, none of the guesses so far is correct, however entertaining they've been. (Especially the silent b one.)
