I do the air-typing thing as well, over and over. Sometimes I'm pretty sure I made a typo and I'll have to use vi (unix editor) codes to erase and restart. And the screen has to be empty for it to count (must start with a cleared screen in my head).

I also acronymize sentences I hear or say. If I spoke or heard the sentence before this one, I would say 'IAASIHOS' in my head. I've gotten pretty fast at this obviously.

If I see a particularly good grouping of letters on a sign, I'll try to anagram it. When I go to the movies I think about Regal Glare Lager. Red Robin = Rob Diner = Brine Rod. My co-worker has a monitor by some brand "Sceptre", and I was pleased when I found "respect". I'm not very good at it, and I consciously try and get better, which is perhaps the weirdest of all.

i do this, too, with street signs, some of my favorites:

canton medical center -- cannot claimed recent
mobil -- limbo
fitness center -- infests recent
cedar point -- pointed car -- pirated con -- cored paint -- raced pinto
roller coaster -- rooster caller
charter one -- tone archer
etc...
