Thumbs up 12 Anagrams - My first try
Hello! I've been enjoying Birdman's anagrams so much that I decided to try some of my own. They took a long time at first, but they definitely got easier.

There is a theme, and a compliment goes to the person that guesses it first. It will probably be obvious once a few are done.

Here they are:

1. PLAN U. - REV TUMULT
2. SO, PUG RESCUER
3. EX-WARD CAWING
4. KING ABE'S ROPE
5. I - A DOG - DEEP-FRY TROUBLE
6. REUNITE? I JUST MOP
7. DOH! RATHER A CASKET
8. LAB WARMIN' GALORE
9. WOW! TELLABLE DIRTY
10. FULLED TOED KERAMIC
11. TRAWLING PAIL? MOW!
12. C.W.U.? SHIN-STRINGED GANTLET

Good luck!
Michael

And I think 10 is supposed to be Plum-Faced Lorikeet, but it looks like you've lost your "P" and acquired an extra "D".

(Been there... done that!!!)

Great set Michael... thanks!
