This is the most creative use of palindromes I’ve ever seen: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nej4xJe4Tdg) Being a fan of both Bob Dylan and Weird Al Yankovic, I may be biased. What are your favorites? ---

My favorite, because I knew a guy of that name, is _Re: Mark Kramer_ I know there’s one floating around that’s similar: _Remarkable Melba Kramer_. One that I like because it’s so long, and seems less contrived (it was the title of a book of palindromes) is: _Go hang a salami! I’m a lasagna hog!_ ---

The greatest palindrome of all time is: \*\* T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I’d assign it a name: “Gnat-dirt upset on drab pot toilet.”\*\*" ---

On another board a few days ago, a poster hit 10001 posts and noted that his post count was a palindrome. Another poster joked that he should post only in palindromes until his postcount was a palindrome again. And. He. Did. There were witty and relevant, not just post-padding. I’m sure most were not original, but some definitely were. It was jaw-droppingly awesome. ---

Marge lets Norah see Sharon’s telegram. Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas. Dog, as a devil deified, lived as a god. To Idi Amin: I’m a idiot. My girlfriend has a freaking weird name: Eman Driewgnikaerfasahdneirflrigym. Most long palindromes are pretty unreadable. Demitri Martin’s 224-word poem [“Dammit I’m Mad”](http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2009/02/demetri-martins-palindrome-poem.html) is almost readable, and truly amazing! ---

I’m sure most were not original, but some definitely were. It was jaw-droppingly awesome. And here I thought I would be able to use some of those. Forgot all about you! Edit: My favorite from another thread on that site was “No, son! Onanism’s a gross orgasm sin – a no-no, son.” ---
