Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.

Yreka is the name of a town in NorCal. If you go there, you might look out for the

I’ve been there! Did you know the town has a mascot called Francis Fireweed? Tell you about it later.

Cain, am I maniac?
Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog.
Sex at my gym taxes

Okay, but remember, you asked.

A toyota’s a toyota - simple, yet so true. :slight_smile:
BTW, words that can be read upside down as well as right side up are not just palindromes, they are also known as ambigrams.

cmkeller, Aviva is such a lovely name in every way, it makes me wish I could have one more daughter, kayn ayin ha-ra! You were cool parents to choose that name. Hannah is my personal favorite because it’s etymologically the source of my name, my sister’s name, my mother’s name, and my maternal grandmother’s name. Really runs in the family. That it’s a palindrome too is just icing on the cake.

Or its longer version:

Naomi, sex at noon taxes, I moan.

The on campus zipcode for my university is a palindrome. When I got my housing information for my freshman year, I immediately exclaimed, “My new zip code’s a palindrome!” My dad gave me a funny look; I can’t imagine why.

Alas, I am off-campus now. I have working heat, but a boring zip code.

Does “Today I’m talking in palindromes:|:semordnilap ni gniklat mi yadot” count?

If we can allow that, we’ll have to allow
A Fool, A Tool, A Pool; LOOPALOOTALOOFA!

I like:
