War of The Robots <...> Tucson's Mister Roboto Meets San Diego's Mister Bananagramoto
Note: After Aunt Teena pointed out these are not Scrabble tiles, I asked what this really is. Its actually a game called Bananagrams. It comes in a banana shaped zippered pouch.
Here's their press release

My Grandson Menachem's anagram creation game, on my dining room table in Tucson, Arizona, reminded me of Arizona Ballet Theatre's The International Language of Dance performances...
Funny how my mind works...;))

I bought this table in San Diego, California when I worked there in 1978 - 1982, on Nuclear Fusion Reactor Design at a company on Torrey Pines Road. Bob Bussard's miniature Tokamak fusion reactor was originally intended to be the size of this dining room table...;))
Bob Bussard is well known in science fiction circles for his space ship fusion drive. See below.
I love San Diego. I'm beginning to love Tucson too. I never thought that would happen, because there is no ocean here. The local mountains are beginning to grow on me. The growing mountain pun is pure serendipity...;))
Here's a little more on anagrams and Bananagrams:
“The anagram game that will drive you bananas!”
Bananagrams is the first in the bunch, the game that started it all. Players race against each other to build crossword grids and use all their letter tiles. There's no turn-taking to be found here—it all happens at once and it’s a race to the finish. No matter how old you are and how many anagram games you’ve played, Bananagrams is sure to drive you absolutely bananas ... in the best possible way!
The made up word Bananagrams is a play on the plural word anagrams
an·a·gram [an-uh-gram] Show IPA noun, verb, an·a·grammed, an·a·gram·ming.
noun
1.
a word, phrase, or sentence formed from another by rearranging its letters: “Angel” is an anagram of “glean.”
2.
anagrams, ( used with a singular verb ) a game in which the players build words by transposing and, often, adding letters.
verb (used with object)
3.
to form (the letters of a text) into a secret message by rearranging them.
4.
to rearrange (the letters of a text) so as to discover a secret message.
Origin:
1580–90; probably < Middle French anagramme < Neo-Latin anagramma. See ana-, -gram1
Related forms
an·a·gram·mat·ic [an-uh-gruh-mat-ik] Show IPA , an·a·gram·mat·i·cal, adjective
an·a·gram·mat·i·cal·ly, adverb
[I add:
an·a·gram·a·tize, verb]
Example sentences
To indicate an anagram he added “(anag.)” to the word concerned.
My guess is that this text is English language text that has been run through
Each fake staffer's name is an anagram of their title plus one extra letter.
