Original Palindromes Oldest

I know what you’re thinking. It’s impossible to find a red nun who would get in a bus and allow you to drive her under a submarine. Believe me, it’s easier when the sub is dry-docked!

Alligators need lots of instructions.

Muse: one of the nine ancient Greek and Roman goddesses believed to be in charge of particular arts and sciences.

Mime: an ancient dramatic entertainment representing scenes from life, usually in a ridiculous manner.

I can’t say what the two of these would equal (sum), but they seem to be well matched.

???? Time keeps on slippin’ into the future...

I don’t really have a story for every palindrome I’ve thought of, especially since many of them were over the last couple years.

While there are so many that I enjoy that make me laugh, I really like this palindrome because it actually makes sense.

I’m sure Jonathan has figured this one out before!

Was that a rod on a rail? Nope, just an odor. Weird.

I know... this one is all over the place. But how many palindromes talk about Star Wars?

Somebody had to do it, right?

Another story about the rare, red nun. This poor nun has been put through the wringer. And for what? That’s just not right.

Dirty volcano!

Please, handle my paintings with utmost care.

Just another ordinary day...

I have no defense for this one.

This could go on forever. But then you may end up sounding like a little frog in the distance on a warm spring evening.

We could all use some help now and then but we probably shouldn’t scoff or  laugh at the one we are trying to help.

I was opening a recreation center, and all the materials I needed to build the gymnasium were falling off the truck that was supposed to deliver them to the location. Thus, I politely asked the driver to help me secure them.

Uhh... a golfing fisherman beat his catch?

A pacifier is one who brings or restores to a state of peace or tranquillity. The rest is subject to interpretation but would probably be given great insight from a wise, old sage.

It’s ok to admit it. You would, too if you were a megastar.

Gum stew? Doesn’t sound very appealing, but the fact that Tim has to get to the top of a soggy adjective seems like a daunting task.

One day I realized that “Tahiti hat” is palindromic, which I think is a good stand-alone palindrome. That same day I had been playing around with the word golf to try and make some sentences. That’s how it usually works with me. I think of random words and see what potential they have to make other words. Then I make a list of them and go from there. Anyone has the potential to flog a Tahiti hat, but it would take a really wise man to flog his golf names!

This palindrome came about when I was experimenting with names that were familiar to me. That is how our dog Walter came to be in this one. Although he does like to ride on our kayak (not so secretively and always obeying all known laws), I assure you he does not do it in a cesspool!

I always liked mom’s rolls, biscuits, buns and other baked goods. Dad’s not so much. Whoever turned their nose up at mom’s buns just doesn’t know how a proper bun should taste.

For me, explaining how I do it is more difficult than doing it and much less fun. For this palindrome, I had compiled a list of words (mostly in twos) I had thought of that are palindromic. In this case, I started with “snot tons” and it grew from there. I also just wrote down random words to see if the ends of them could be made into a word, reversed. It took me about 0.5 hours for this one and I laughed out loud when I finished because it is so nonsensical, but some words just go so good together. It doesn’t hurt that I go by my middle name, Ed. Just did this today, 02/25/2021.

I was scribbling a few thoughts about how to organize my first palindrome anthology. I wrote down some category names and one triggered a nascent palindrome. Artistic or Bonkers was the name, and I focused on artistic.

First I reversed it.

artistic c it sit ra

Of course, there are other ways to split the reverse, but I tried that one first. Then I swapped the forward and reverse. I added a D to avoid the doubled-letter A in the middle.

c it sit ra artistic
c it sit rad artistic

As I knew from previous experience, many words end with C. I got lucky when the word mastic popped into my head.

Mastic it sit rad artistic it Sam
Mastic. It sit rad artistic. It's a.m.

Building materials as art. What will we think of next?

If you’ve ever taken a road trip through the south or parts of the Midwest, you undoubtedly have seen the occasional signs every 1/8 mile or so so along the way: Sweet Corn, Fresh Molasses, Saltwater Taffy, Tee-Free Deer Feet, Roasted Pecans, etc.

Wait a minute... WHAT??!

Somehow, I don’t think Les is going to get any awards for this....

I have no excuse for this.

I guess we all have questions from time to time. I started this one with “ruff fur”. Neat that dogs do this and have that.
