Anagrams II - The revenge of ...
http://sophosnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/the-simpsons-d-oh-mini-posters-71133.jpg

Ok more of the same but this time with a Haven Fund twist!
Some of you may be aware that a big part of the Haven fund are the Big prize give aways. In order to get in on the draw you have to either provide one of the giveaways (used in auctions etc) or make a financial contribution to the Fund. Any contribution over $10 gives you one entry into the draw.

I appreciate some of you don't have large sums of cash to give away, but would potentially like to get a shot at the prizes. Here is your chance.

All you need to do is make a contribution of *ANY* amount. could be $1, could be $20 could be 2c, whatever you can afford. Then just get to work solving the anagrams.
Do NOT post your answers here! PM me as you solve them and I will keep a track (I will post 'stats' about who has solved the most so far, etc.)

The winner will be the first person to PM me ALL the correct answers. A contribution will then be made on the winners behalf to give them FOUR entries to the Grand prize Draw!

(Note if you personally contribute more than $10 as your entry to the quiz, that will still count as a personal entry to the draw!)

so to summarise.
1. Only people who PM me that they have made a contribution can play to win (I don't need to know the amount)
2. PM me your answers as you solve them, don't wait till you have done them all
3. DON'T post any answers to this thread
4. The Winner receives FOUR entries into the prize draw, regardless of financial contribution
5. Competition is subject to standard disclaimer*

What you expected a big list of disclaimers? This is a competition for charity! do as you please! :evil:

Master Merlin is pleased with his Goblin Minion and has generously offered to match my Winners contribution. This means you will be getting FOUR entries into the Grand Prize Draw if you win!
You gotta be in it to win it - so get thinking!

Added some 'clues'

2. Barren Tornadoes - Looks like she has the green light to fly
3. Men Got A Cerebral Cheer - definite link to a 'prodigy'
4. kid bad speaker - maybe he should take a deep breath?
5. haunted mob as duet - but the birds give it away
6. Meteorite Growth - PA or something more? it's all in the 'bag'
7. Aural Shags - guaranteed to put a smile on her face!
8. A Farcical Damn Trip - although she didn't find it funny
9. Hoot No Deterrent - it won't be scared away by the horn
10. Rues Jail, begs Me in - it's not jail, it's the bracelets she doesn't like
11. Went in, Chews openly - there are teeth behind that smile...
12. Vocal Galled Us - SSDD
