Cleavers fret that the crafter elves, having joined the carver fleets, will suffer fecal reverts. This will bring out the fact revelers, who, by far cleverest of all the calve ferrets, will discover that what they thought were rectal fevers are indeed SCARLET FEVER!

Maybe a bit technical.

" a bit technical he says..."

18 letters, 2 words... my brain is strained..

Nurse comes handy mun... that's all I've recovered, and I know it's not right... HELP!

In case you expert anagramers (I don't post here much because I just don't have your expertise!) missed Bob's plea in the Written Word to help him with L5 of an acrostic/anagram limerick, I will alert you here. For some reason the site won't let me search tonight so I can't link to that thread. If you want to have some fun, see if you can write a more sensible L5 for Bob.

Thanks!

Now...continue with Hab's 18-letters, 2 words, "a bit technical" anagram!

Hint: does the name "Rudolph Raspe" ring any bells?

CHAUCER ART I -- a great class for lit students

Do you mean "CHARICATURE", the cartoon-like drawing that captures the essence of the subject in just a few strokes?

The prescriptivist in me says it's a spelling demon, and doesn't have an H in it, thus CARICATURE. OneLook.com has it without the H.

The ultimate descriptivist may be Google; it just hunts and counts, even misspellings, as long as they're out there. Google has 14,400 hits for CHARICATURE but 1,770,000 for CARICATURE.

Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choice. (Or "cherce," if you're from Brooklyn.)

BALD MENTOR - a proper noun, even if it is in common use among certain groups

TEMBLOR, MAN... earthquake, to a hip Berkeley student

BRAND MOTEL... as opposed to the Holiday Inns, Howard Johnsons, etc. ?? I'm at a loss.

MANDELBROT

I had a sudden flash of inspiration!

VOILA! ER... SI? Punctuation is only to make it read better. Another proper noun, different field.

MANDELBROT
Nice one! You did say "group," didn't you...

VOILA ER SI
variolise - that means "to infect with smallpox," of course (run-for-the-exits emoticon)

and it's also "Olivier as...!?" - the do-it-yourself theater billboard. Even uses all the punctuation.

Since I have never heard of Mandelbrot or Variolise... ! And no one left me a word to unscramble... I give you the newest of Nancy Drew.. she left Bess and George behind, one too many times.

NANCY TRIAL

It's LAVIOSIER.

I put made-up words in not-bold font so you can recognize a tongue-in-cheek proposal from a serious one. VARIOLISE sounds reasonable but I made it up out of roots and suffixes. ("Suffices"? And what's the plural of "apteryx"?)
