What is your favorite palindrome? Why?
My personal favorite is: "Massive Levi's, Sam!"

Note: Palindromes (a phrase you can say backwords and forwards) are not for people with aibohphobia.

The Wikipedia article on Palindromes is one of my favorites.

And of course there's the TMBG song, I Palindrome I, which has this great (palindromatic by word, not by letter) verse:

Quote:
"Son, I am able," she said, "though you scare me."
"Watch," said I. "Beloved," I said, "watch me scare you."
"Though," said she, "Able am I, Son."


And I always watch for palindromes on my odometer, but usually miss them, which makes me sad.

Do you think "Lim" is a name? If it was, I'd change my middle name to lim and then my name would be a palendrome. Maybe I should change it anyway. My new location makes a palendrome.

"Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog!" is one of my favorites.

I also like the "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm" one


Oh, and there's

"Aibohphobia" - the fear of palendromes

My favorite palendrome is Stanley Yelnats. That's the first full name that's a palendrome I know.
There's 4 of 'em. Stanley Yelnats's that is.
Sorry. I'm kinda hooked on Holes as of late.

My Friend's daughter's name is "Nella Allen". For my name to be a palindrome, my last name would be "Bocaj"

You use it's wrong and spammed.

Fear of palindromes? That sounds like a "ARRRRRRRGHHHHBLBBLBLBLBL" incident... (I am a palindrome! Here to haunt you FOREVER! MU-HAHAHA!)

"So, Ed, I vow to do two videos."

"Ed, I saw Harpo Marx ram Oprah W. aside."

All of mine involve Ed.

I can just imagine some conversation:

DOCTOR: I'm afraid you're suffering from a fear of palindromes - aibohphobia.

PATIENT: Aibohphobia!?! That's a palindrome! AAARRRRRGGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL!!!

OR


DOCTOR: I'm afraid you're suffering from a fear of long words - hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

PATIENT: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!?! That's a long word! AAARRRRRGGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL!!!
