Original Palindromes Newest

After the senior officer’s recent rhinoplasty, the decorated soldier couldn’t help but notice.

As it turned out and for other reasons unknown, Delia was marked off the list simply because Fiona arrived by boat.

Somehow, elephant never seemed like a word that could fit into a palindrome. Nonetheless, one day I typed it into the Palindrome Composer and boom! Reversed, it's tnahpele. I quickly saw the words nah and Pele. Those worked perfectly with elephant.

Elephant? Nah, Pele.

I added wow to both ends, expressing surprise and implying a loud noise or shaking ground.

The young Camelid, having been curious of his ancestry, informed his mother that the results of his recent DNA test indicated that his bloodline did not include alpaca, as he had once suspected.

Someone seems a little insecure, though I’m sure the band was loved—and hated—by many.

It would have much more sense if the game “Marco Polo” had been given this name instead. Most kids learn something about the Venetian traveller but it seems that not many learn about palindromes.

I started out thinking of knock-knock jokes and how to make a palindrome in that theme. I combined James Joyce’s tattarrattat with the question “Who is it?” To me that seemed like a decent simulation of the classic knock-knock joke. After that, it was just a matter of expanding “Oh, W” into something more meaningful. But not by much.

Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias may have replied with this answer when asked what provisions he would like to bring along when he became the first European navigator to round the southern tip of Africa in 1488.  I would think it likely that his ships carried them.

Strange fare, but don’t knock it until you try it, I suppose.

The existing palindrome that inspired this was “No melon, no lemon.” I credited Johnny Depp with my altered words as the explanation for a longer palindrome I submitted earlier. All I did was remove an extra N in the middle. Think of it as a rejection of melon and an ode to lemon. Pucker up!

After I wrote the Semi Times palindrome, it rattled around inside my head for a while. Driving a truck tends to rattle everything around.

I thought about how we refer to magazines when we talk. Mostly we say stuff like, “I saw a cool headset in Semi Times.” So I wrote that down.

in Semi Times ni

Then I looked up words that start with ni in the Palindromedary. It’s a long list. I found lots of potential palindromes, but they mostly didn’t make any sense. When I saw the word nipped, inspiration hit. It occurred to me that Semi Times could also be the name of a film.

Depp, in Semi Times, nipped

So Johnny Depp in a film, or maybe a magazine photoshoot. I wondered what he might be nipping. Eventually, a weird little story came to me.

On the set of Semi Times, Johnny Depp wandered by the catering table before his next scene. With the cameras rolling, he spoke his lines. Then he pulled a lemon from his pocket and nipped it. Later, when the director asked why he did that, Depp only said, “No melon. O’ lemon!”

Since Amos couldn’t unsee it, he thought that sharing it with someone else might be helpful.

Needless to say, Neil’s wife was very surprised to see what had emerged from the object hovering over their wheat field.

A semi-trailer is a trailer with no front axle. So it's a partial trailer, a semi. I reversed semi and got imes. Well, Times is a word, and Semi Times sounds like it should be a magazine for truckers. There you go.

I have a T-shirt showing a T-Rex holding a long-handled, T-Rex-head-tipped grabber in each of his little arms. At the top of the shirt, it says, “NOW I AM UNSTOPPABLE.” While looking at the mirror, I saw that the reverse of “Now I am” is “Ma I won.” Just took a few more minutes to work a llama in the middle.

This palindrome has sort of an English “ring” to it, as Elba hails from the UK; Sir Isaac Newton was also from the same general area.

Which “Di” could they be referring to? Hmmm... and “Cassi” is a shortened name for Cassiopeia, which makes the whole thing astronomical, more so if these four ever met and were involved in any court proceeding!

“Issac” is a variation of the name Isaac.

Was it the conviction of Tyson that the small child was eager to learn things he should not know or was it only the prima donna’s perception of Tyson?

No, this is not an excerpt from “The Waste Land” by the famous author.

Thoughts of a soccer mom...

An advertisement for a new start-up company, with locations in three states. Only cola, so far, though. The business will most likely add other flavors like grape, citrus, etc. if this one is a hit!

Hal, a once so-so director, made it known that he was still proud of his abilities, even if it meant being involved with a theater in decline.

This conversation includes things about the sea and water, as well as the mysterious “Enola.” The somewhat science-fictional “Prawn Warp” must assume that everything Nemo says is a sign of his soothsaying abilities.

This palindrome started with the word abalone and grew from there several days later.

I was counting on it. And to think I traveled all that way for nothing...

I like “No iron on Orion” by itself but the additional words seem to help it make more sense.

Iron ore is often red. Cameroon has it but doesn’t mine it. I wonder why?

If “Ankle Elks” actually exist—which I’m sure they do—then they undoubtedly announce themselves to their grandmothers with a Middle English opening! This one seems a little unsure of himself.

If your truth-telling sometimes goes astray and your name happens to be Ed, someone may ask you this.

One of the Starship Enterprise’s crew has set up shop and is selling traditional ulu knives of the Inuit and Yupik people.

Are these the song titles of a rap artist named Suga, or are Suga’s knuckles being used to tap out the words in Morse code? Hmm...

This palindrome started during a trip to the produce section of a grocery store.

The word “Slay” is being used here to mean “strongly impress” or perform exceptionally.

The first speaker played for the Dolphins, so it is strange that the subject matter subtly names another team, the Rams. Marion just may win the argument.

Fields like to do nothing and just sit there all day. That sounds so relaxing. So if you’re stressed out, just diddle if a field did.
