You can replace this line with:

  sed -i.bak -e 's/anarchist at blah/entombednerds at blah/g'

-i is for in-place. And use .bak as the old, and the new filename as
the new.

Or as Onno pointed out, just grep for it in the first place, then
you don't need to have the backup files lying around to find out.
