Palindromes are rasemordnilap

I know quite a few, but I can only come up with one at the moment. That would be the classic one. Able was I ere I saw Elba. I will try to wrack my brain for some more, but it hurts when I think that hard.

-haras (if only my name were ssarah!)

Que ssarah, ssarah! Whatever will be, will be.... the palindrome's not ours to see, que ssarah, ssarah!

I am in a quandarry...am I Bed, Eibbed, or Harobed??

Two r's in quandary? Didn't know THAT "Britism."

Anyway, I vote "Harobed," though it does sound a tad like harridan, which would make a terrific word for the day.

Sorry....typo!!!!
My ex would probably define harridan as me(or should that be the other way around?)

Either way. And palindromes are not backwards words, they are backwards words that are also forward words, meaning we're straying a bit from Meridee's premise.

Otto (I left out the "man" for Sarah's sake. Once she gets going on that ottoman story, there's no stopping her.)

aww-- you've already got part of my personality pegged :) I like "good ol' days" stories and reminiscing-- it's one way I feel connected (even if it is through my WiFi broadband satellite internet provider).

My palindrome for the day:
Never odd or even

Dr Grammette says that should be 'Never odd NOR even' which tends to stuff up that palindrome quite nicely!!

Right. And here I am wondering, "Who the heck's 'Banana Boy'?" before remembering what thread I'm in.

Yo Walter! Welcome! Why don't you shoot over to Introductions and shake hands! Are you a new member or a recently revealed lurker?

Welcome Walter!

Wasn't me!!! Was Dr Grammette!!! (Dolly did it??)

not a palindrome, but I noticed that Clive Barker's Abarat is presented as an ambigram
