Failed Palindromes

[Frylock]

From John Hodgman's The Areas of My Expertise


WHEN WRITING, PLEASE AVOID THESE FAILED PALINDROMES

Slow speed: deep owls

Desire still lisps: Arise! D.
A man, a plan, a kind of man-made river, planned.
Hobos! So!


The game for us is to come up with more failed palindromes.

My first entry is lame (but not as lame as it looks). From the "it kind of looks like dialectical English, and I wish it really were" department:



'E mord 'n 'i lap: "Palindrome!"

[Wheelz]

'E mord 'n 'i lap: "Palindrome!"Isn't that a successful palindrome?

[Frylock]

Isn't that a successful palindrome?

I think a successful palindrome would have to actually mean something.

Mine's unsuccessful in a different way than Hodgman's, to be sure.
