I thought I was on to something with Steven Hawkings, but clearly I am not. Can't wait to hear the answer
2005-10-12 18:07:57
4.   For The Turnstiles
Who is Lewis Carroll?

(Just a guess based on the clue. I'm stumped on the anagram itself, unless it's "Ken arneson th' wack vile scrbd leapt")

Ah, got it:
"The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"
from Jabberwocky

Turnstiles, you got it again...the board is yours.

So the answers don't have to be baseball related?

And I'd love an explanation of the anagram.

In this round, the answers are baseball and/or poetry related.

"invents words": Carroll's poem Jabberwocky is full of nonsense words.

"blank cat": refers to the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

I was going to guess Barry Bonds ("he lacks peer") - oops.

I'll be glad when this anagram category is finished! Turnstiles, you've earned the lead and then some. Nicely done.

Anagram Lines 800 please.
I wouldn't count on the other categories being any easier, Shaun.

hah, VORPal blade. it's baseball related!

Yeah, here's the instructions for Double Humbugardy: "I will provide the answer, you provide the question. The answers and questions will all be related to either baseball and poetry somehow, but not necessarily both." I didn't realize it at first either; I spent some time looking around Baseball Reference to find out what Lewis Carroll did for the Grand Old Game.

Hey, if it's "VORPal blade," then Shaun P was right with Barry Bonds.
