The Smiley Smile Message Board

This is where I'll be posting all my palindromes from now on, regardless of whether they're BB-related or not. Needless to say, all your contributions are welcome too!
  
Having embarked on a Love You palindrome and getting really bogged down, it struck me that it might be more practical to make it several smaller palindromes----and a ragged assemblage they are too. Unrelated participants include Rihanna, T.S. Eliot, Renaissance painter Quentin Metsys, Ral Donner, Mozart and rapper Mos Def. You have been warned.  

Name Love You duo, ye voleman!

Anna, hirsute! Let Us, Rihanna

M.C., repel cats (Bonita, KS). Skatin' obstacle per cm

Do ogle me, Carson. Italy Latinos race Mel. Good!

Amen---I Dang Nik. No Honking, Nadine (MA)

Dart sued a manitou, Q. Metsys. Ral: "O Solar System quotin' Amadeus!" (Trad.) <

Fed sometime So-Young gnu. O Yosemite Mos Def!

O geek! I Bet 'E's Nice (LA). Alec, inset e-bike ego

Al: "Let's Put it up Stella!"

I Wanna Tsarina, an Ira (St. Anna, WI)

Ena LP riant at rap (Sparta, TN): Airplane!

Mona, mow a sieve. Eve Is A Woman. Om!

Here are all the palindromes thus far (and in no particular order) that I'm least embarrassed about. Enjoy!


Pop, no eye! Eye on, Pop!

Avid Al stops Bob Lamm: "Am I mammal?" (Bob spots L.A. diva)

Evade Kim, Ryanair. Be curbed, urn, alas in Ned's U.K. Capitol plot. I pack U.S. Dennis, Alan, rude Bruce, Brian (Ayr), Mike, Dave...

Deirdre V: "I ran if Russia is surfin' a river dried."

'Tis Bruce. Lyle curbs it

"Oh, a disk (RAM)----evade!" (Dave Marks, Idaho)

Shoot, o how Tsar Dennis kayaks in Nedra's two hot "Ooh!"s

Now I am a ham (U.S.). Om! OK... O Kokomo, Sumahama... I won!

One nil----or a con? Dogs, pets, sloops, spools, steps, God? No, Caroline... no!!

Loop MGM's LA virtuoso Pete's "Rael", Audree. No iPad? A pioneer dual ear-set epos outrivals MGM pool

Mods, I wonder: Rats, sun, eve, nut? Penn, rut, ass, ram? Deified Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Venus starred----no wisdom!

L.A. Bruce wrote "Rub Race", "Take Red", "Deirdre", "Wendy S", "Susie C" (in minor), "Ronda", "Mona", no "Lynda" (error: read "Nylon"). A nomad, nor Ron. "I'm nice" is U.S., Syd. Newer dried Derek ate carburetor. We curb Al. <

Do good----Anna will. A splay'd New Age moon and stars (Anna's rat's DNA). No Omega, Wendy----Alps. All I Wanna Do... O God!

So reharden, Mike, ego geek. I'm Nedra H. Eros!

Murry tramples a cruet. No, Carl, Audree Neva sinned not. Esme sets a tad ago. Buy an airbrush, soppy-lop! Aesop met a (a tempo) sea polyp, posh "Sur" Brian. Ayub Ogada tastes 'em. Set on Dennis, a veneer dual raconteur-case LP: Martyr Rum.

Al, up----a.k.a... win! Eek! Look slow on wonderful Ullapool decal art. Lunar dadaism row mars L.A. prelims. All racks are paper----ask Carl (L.A.). Smiler pals ram worms. I, a dad, ran ultra-laced. Loop Al, Lulu. Fred: "Now, now... ol' skool." (Keeni waka pula.)

Afterthought:
Moo! Do less, ever I flame 'em... Al! Fire vessel! O doom!

Version II:
Al, up----a.k.a... win! Eek! Look slow on wonderful Ullapool decal art. Lunar dadaism row mars L.A. prelims. All racks are not a saga, sire. Tawny DNA, the less ever I flame. Parsnips pot an air by Brian. A top spins. Rap 'em, Al! Fire vessel, eh, Tandyn? Water is a gas, a toner. Ask Carl. L.A. smiler pals ram worms. I, a dad, ran ultra-laced. Loop Al, Lulu.

Some names from our past:
O, I gall ebullient treble Doe. Macca (p.2) loots Lee Dempsey, Mikie. I, Kim: "Yes, PM Ed, Eels, Tool, 2-Pac, Cameo, Delbert T., Neil, Lu... Bellagio!"

Ode to the Sandbox:

The first one in Look-Ma-No-Hands Mode, a holiday palindrome:
Gage/Dunbar demo's EP (Ayr, Rum, Eigg, Eriskay) for a bar of yaks: "I, Reggie/Murry, ape some drab nude gag."

>REV*L°VER<
Another classic album celebrating 50 years (SOON) and as close to being a palindromic title as dammit! Beach Boys began using WORD-palindromic album titles soon after:
>Smile/Y Smile<
>20/20<   (and then there was:)
>CALIFORNIA SAGA, California<

And speaking of word-LEVEL palindromes & Beatles ... Here's an older Beatles/BB word'drome-tanka poem:

      ->Beatles before long

    created 'the number one':

     "Revolution" <-> BRI's:

   Revo-Lution/Number One ? ...

- created LONG before Beatles'!<-

I saw this band called Tacocat the other day. Does that count for anything?

It certainly does. :=)

And so does this composition by John Luther Adams called Become Ocean:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DwvyCwgelA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Become_Ocean

I had to laugh at the critic who said that "after the first 20 minutes or so, the musical ideas had pretty much run their course, and there were no further developments to justify sustaining the piece". Well, obviously----the piece is a palindrome!  ;D

This quickie is about you-know-where...

With all my other palindromes chock-a-block with people from all walks of life and periods of history, I thought it was time I posted a short one about myself:   

Ho hum----raw sin. Ho f'k'n ho, john k! Föhn is warm. Uh-oh...

And another one about the (West) Sussexy Findon-bloke, now living in Rotterdam deservedly getting his own PALINDROME-forum and a haiku-palindrome! By SMiLErPal*dromerBoy:

->Findon*s PAL IN D'

ROtterdaM: RengaWagneR!

Mad rettor'd. NIL Ap*s! [Nod*'n  IF!]<-

Now I wanna morph these 2 palindromes into one, and in the proces expand my haiku into a renga (or at least the first verse of one): 5/7/5+7/7 syllables. It's gotta be a renga for the RengaWagneR!! Let me take you guys thru' the motions. This should be relatively straightforward:
The first thing is that the word RengaWagneR still has to be in the middle, since it cannot divided meaningfully. Next is to determine which drome is inside and outside, John's or mine. For that we'll have to find middle of them both. In the haiku, it's simple: Rotterdam/mad rettor'd (after putting 'RengaWagneR' to one side). In John's, it's more difficult: "ho/John K."?  John's should go inside. Let me try that:

           >RengaWagneR<                                               (by SPdB & RWR)

     ->Findon's PAL IN D'
ROtterdaM? Ho hum----raw sin:
           Ho f'k'n' ho, J.!
                     ~
         RengaWagneR = John K!  
Föhn is warm. Uh-oh ... Mad rettor'd!
           NIL ap*s! Nod*'n IF ...<-

No, that didn't Work out. Instead it's a double haiku-palindrome/mini-renga!

Who knows? By the time you post it we may have our own "creative" subforum for word games and stories. :=)  

And, by way of conclusion:

Eno, Nero, Mono... One last one----palindromes unite God's exes. Do get in! (Use M or D.) Nil ape, not sale. No! O no more, none!

HAL BLAINE has some reservations about our 50 years jubilee-album Pet Sounds? Michael 'ED' Love chimes in! [Palindromes #112, 169 & 270 BY "ERIC HARSHBARGER":]

    ->->Hal, a renegade ...
Revered HAL BLAINE'd: "Era's TEN>
     [nosy Hal boots too ...
                 ~
      'blahy'] SONNETS are>
denial-blah'd, er... EVER!" 'Ed'>
    (a 'General'): "AH!"<-<-

Palindromes ARE really truthin'! Like one doesn't get rich from (re-)inventing the "haiku-palindrome":

      ->"Moi ? A Dane: Rasmus

Skotte, no. ----- Net(to) k^s*-sums

are NADA!   { I  °~ O M...~°}"<-

That's why I've stopped making palindromes----because there's no money in it. :lol
And they'd run their course. One should always know when to stop. Hopefully one of the Boys will read this and take it to heart.  :hat

But don't you stop, Rasmus. Look upon it as volunteer work. ;D

AWW! So that's what you meant by "conclusion"(?)...
And here you mean  the TOURING "Boys", right!

I mean The Beach Boys----Mike, Brian, Alan, Bruce, Blondie----touring, studio, anything. It's time they stopped----on a high. Just my opinion, mind... ;=)

Point well taken. And for the first time in HALF A YEAR: MORE than a week without a new John K-Palindrome. Now, I believe "it's over now"! Don't want to, but I do. Luckily John's poetic pen can offer so much more still, in other genres ...
So we salute you, sir, with RengaWagner's honorary mini-renga IN BLUE!:

As a final closure and in order to make absolutely sure, I've run our 'palindrome-monickers' thru' the anagram-generator. And the results seem to indicate that we stopped ourselves JUST in the nick of time:

RengaWagner : Raw gangrene!

SMiLErPal'dromerBoy : Problems OR dreamily?

 :lol

I rather like Wren Gang Era. Sounds like one of these group names with three surrealistically juxtaposed words, like Insane Clown Posse.

It's a good thing I look through them now and again. I just found a mistake----it's now been corrected. :hat


One of the reasons I stopped was that it was getting much too technical and much too computer-bound.

First there had to be a theme for the palindrome. Once I had that and had done as much of the palindrome as I could by myself, I had all these online resources to help me finish it. There was a list of words that became other words when reversed, a list of UK palindrome words, a list of abbreviations of US States, a list of country codes, a site where I could type in initials (say RVW) to get full names (Ralph Vaughan Williams), a Wordfind site for word endings and beginnings...

Maybe, just maybe, if a palindrome were to come to me in an advanced form----in other words, without the need for all this paraphernalia----then I might just consider working on it away from the computer and posting it here.  

Well...

This is as unexpected for me as it is for you. Passing through Dunbar on a recent train journey to Edinburgh, my thoughts naturally turned to Murry. (Dennistown and Denny were two other place names we encountered.) Next, it occurred to me that Eigg, an island in the Hebrides (which is where we were heading) when reversed was two-thirds of Reggie and Rum, one of its neighbours, was three-fifths of Murry. Ayr and Eriskay gave me the rest of those two reversed names. The biggest issue was how to make yaks fit into all this. The rest fell surprisingly quickly into place. Luckily----I had no internet, no dictionaries, nothing.

Anyway, here despite itself is john k's holiday palindrome. (I realize that for those who thought they'd seen the last of these creepy word games this must come as a crushing disappointment. Sorry Billy, Howie, everyone.)

Gage/Dunbar demo's EP (Ayr, Rum, Eigg, Eriskay) for a bar of yaks: "I, Reggie/Murry, ape some drab nude gag."   

Do you know this extremely brilliant musical palindrome by Haydn (Symphony No. 47, third movement) ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=516FvPFu7ag

That's amazing! Papa Haydn may come off worst in the First Viennese School stakes (everyone thinks first of Mozart or Beethoven) but his symphonies are a feast. I once played all 106 when working (over a period of days, haha) and wasn't bored for a moment.

But the fact that this movement is palindromic is new to me. Thank you! I've since found other musical palindromes on YouTube but none of them is as interesting (except the one I linked a while ago)...    

Actually, my lone musical composition of any interest is a palindrome. You can find a description of it at my other place...

The task I set myself during the recent brief holiday was to choose a word (or in one case, a number) from the title of each track of my favourite BB album and construct them into a palindrome, keeping the titles in chronological order:  

He puts ace I.D. on water rut----a B-road, Norma. Jeer TM, Al! Care (1957 era) flew. Time's wolf flows emit welfare: 7591-era clam tree jam. Ronda, orb a turret. Aw, no die cast up, eh?

Palindromes never let you have it all your own way. You do what you can and after that it's a question of having to compromise. This one, prompted by the ongoing discussion of who exactly sings lead (or rather leads) on "Mess Of Help", like its two immediate predecessors was done without consulting a single book or online source:   

Nosy Carl, Olga, Brian... a stand-alone? Sure, Vosse made ends look cuckoo. LSD need a mess over us, Eno lad. Nat's an airbag (lol). Racy, son

Trying desperately to come to terms with the Blue Cheese Incident, it occurred to me that the best way to exorcize it is to construct (surprise, surprise) a Blue Cheese palindrome!
What I find fascinating about the result is that the two couplets of the little song at the centre (call it an In Memoriam Lenny Bruce for imbeciles) are identical except for two letters in <bleu> and <blue>. H'mm. Odd things, palindromes...


Des/Ned: "No cheese, Ma? Is red leap (e.g. Amor) fondue floop-all-up?"

"I recur bleu
L. Bruce, R.I.P.
I recur blue
L. Bruce, R.I.P."

Ullapool feud. No fromage, Pa. Elder Siamese, eh? Condensed!

The sad news about Ricci Martin's demise, made me wanna sidetrack John's palindrome and turn the rest into a memorial tanka-palindrome for Ricci and his mentor: 'AGA CARL'!
Also featured: Brian, Michael Vosse, Stephen W Desper (~sd), Alan J. and the endless number: pi(-in-the-sky). Thanx for the inspiration, jk!

>'Y, Carl = Aga!'  Brian:
"A sure Vosse made ends look pi!

RICCI R.I P.

Kool ~sd ! 'Need A Mess' over >
us - an airbag, Al ! RACY"<

You're welcome, R. :=)

I found another cheese-palindrome ALL in french (don't talk it myself):

>Tu l'as trop écrasé, César, ce Port Salut!<
[Which should translate into: You mashed it too much, Cesar, this Port Salut (a french cheese)]

To understand what's so great about jk's palindrome above, I've given it a closer look. [But first a sidebar: What does the words 'leap' and 'Amor' remind us, if we're old enough? later]]
I don't recall seeing a palindrome (which is NOT a word-units one) where whole sentences are mirrored in the text: Like "No cheese, Ma?" later comes out as "No fromage, Pa!"
And the line(s): "I recur blue/bleu. L. Bruce R.I P." twice, are almost identical. Only the words blue/bleu differ. The line itself is palindromic except for that word and only the repetition makes the whole bit palindromic! In my 'condimental version", I've swopped bleu & blue (which ARE palindromic'ly interchanegable) so that the english words blue & cheese are later mirrored by their french counterparts: fromage & bleu (I imagine the two sons Des & Ned having a scottish Mom (living in Ullapool) and a french speaking Dad). "Odd" indeed!
[And back to the sidebar: The Cupid/Amor-popsong: Little Arrows was a hit for LEAPy Lee!]

Love the Leapy Lee reference!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HepkOOM3aok

I'm truly honoured by your analysis, R. And the French palindrome is a hoot!

Here we go again. This was prompted by The Lazenby's reconstruction of Pet Sounds from Brian's original track list (listening to it now):

Mary, no! Be nice! Berry tastes one good Etna vibe. Waxin' my gal? Not me! Nik's hang-on sat, ego sloop. Now, old man, ape raw rep. Put head----nor I made times, Anna. Semi-Ted am I, Ronda, eh? Tupperware Panam'd low on pools. O get a snog. Nah! Skin 'em, tonal gym. Nix a web, Ivan. Ted: "O, O, Geno, set satyr rebec in ebony ram"

This started as a tribute (of sorts) to the Wrecking Crew. Well, six of them made it, so to speak...

"Denial, blah..." (Mike E.). Plas: "No eye, no hole." Putnam tips too. Mere grocer Glen on Ray's Sid Sharp, Oprah's diss yarn on El Greco. R. Gere moots Pitman: "Tupelo honey, eon's alp... Eek! I'm Hal Blained!!"

>'Aye, Carl!  LITTLE HONDA! ...

O.k.a. a.K.o  *AD* !?'

"NO ! Hel'!! ---- T'T, I'll race ya!"<

This stuff will be my downfall. Today's challenge was to incorporate the name of this forum----no easy task. Pity it degenerated into a shouting match:

Mike: "Dragnet! Safari! Today! Rael! Smiley Smile! Bambu!" "Rub, Mabel!" "I'm Sy, Eli!" Ms Leary: "A dot, Ira, fast!" "En garde, Kim!"

"Downfall"? I should hope NOT - then it'll be mine too! Anyway here goes the versified version. Featuring as I see it: 'M(r)s. Leary'/SMILEY SMILE/ "Pete's RAEL"/BAMBU/BB TODAY!/lyricist IRA Gershwin/Mike's wife: KIM & musicians MABEL McVey/ELi/Sy Smith:

>MIKE: "Dragnet! Safari!
TODAY! "RAEL"! SMILEY SMILE!
BAMBU!"  "Rub, MABEL!"

"I'm SY, ELI!"
Ms. LEARY: "A dot, IRA,
FAST!"   "En garde, KIM!"<

Interestingly, if asked who Sy was, I would have said the artist Sy Twombly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cy_Twombly

It's the only Sy I know! And Eli (Wallach?) seems to be getting everywhere these days.

This next sprawling but technically perfect palindrome includes all five spellings of Rieley in just one Smiley topic and dispels once and for all the myth that either of Carl's two sons speaks at the start of "The Trader":

Daryl, lie right! Ron, I hung a red artefactoid. I see Pleyel (Eire). Lo, Jack Riley elpees dissed O'Reiley. Not S, W or N, it's U. (Jonah's eye, Rielly.) Diss idyll (Eire), yes? Ha, no! Justin rows Tony, Eli erodes Sid. See Pleyel irk/cajole Rieley elpees, idiot café trader. A gnu: "Hi!" North, G.I. Reilly----rad!  

Ah, finally a Jack Rieley-renga! Always had a soft spot for this guy. I even wrote him a memorial (non-pal.) haiku:

        John Frank Rieley III
"Are you sleeping, Brother John?"
       'JACK' of many trades

In MY book, he deserves the full 'per verse' treatment (NO, I still don't mean it like THAT - though according to jk, Jack  DID come in but all corners of the world, including 'U') so he'll get the double tanka+haiku-palindrome [featuring DARYL Dragon, RON Wood(!), Carl's sons JONAH & JUSTIN, Pet Sounds-lyricist: TONY Asher and ditto-conductor SID Sharp, Pleyel (composer and/or piano manufacturer) and jk's pet: ELI Wallach. And YES, Rieley did have at least one elpee: "Western Justice" And upon reflexion, it seems like the two G.I. soldiers: NORTH & REILLY can only be the corporals: (palindromic'ly named) >Radar< O`REILLY (from M.A.S.H) & Oliver NORTH :]

>DARYL: "Lie right, RON!
I hung a red artefactoid!
I SEE Pleyel (Eire) - LO!"
JACK RILEY elpees dissed? (O'Reiley).
Not S, W or N - it's 'U'.

JONAH's eye: Rielly?
Diss idyll (Eire), yes? Ha, NO!
JUSTIN rows TONY
ELI erodes SID (see Pleyel):
"Irk/cajole Rieley elpees!

(Idiot cafe TRADER!}"
A gnu: "Hi NORTH {G.I.}
REILLY ---- RAD!"<

A lot of loose ends tied up very neatly there, Rasmus. Yes indeed, it's Camille Pleyel, whose path crossed that of Hector Berlioz with almost fatal results (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Pleyel).

And now... The truly dire "Happy Endings" gets the chop, palindromically speaking (I've put all the relevant words in italics). Regrettably the Easter Bunny is now an exotic dish. Note the curious exchange between Peter Pan (clearly stranded in Never Never Land) and his shrink:  

Ron, I'm "Sur" Richard! Espagnol Boys order deli bunny-ball ulna. Pa?----nap! See Camelots at nasal R. Even Revenger Reign/I.D. Net are ferret epic. I, Van, am in Neptune happy. [pp] A he-nut! Penniman, Avici, Peter... refer at ending. I err, e.g., never never. L.A. Santa stole mace (España). Pan: "Lullaby N, nubile D, red rosy oblong apse". Dr.: "Ah----Cirrus Minor!"

Gary Usher never made it into my BW lyricist palindrome so now the lucky bugger gets this ragged one all to himself, together with eight of his co-writes (in italics):   

Gary: "Aw, an URL!" Lew to Lyle: "No less amnesty!" Belt 'til nets are in upon sandbar ("Chug-A-Lug", "Room" (trad.)). Tips? Secrets? Eh? "Clock", "409"----I lose nine soli (904-k, Colchester Cesspit, Dartmoor Gulag). Uh, crab DNA's no punier as Ten Little BYTs en masse (lonely lot). "We'll-Run-Away Rag!"

Let me be the first. John now has  10 K`s  worth of postings (and counting) to his good name over there in his "NEBENGESCHÄFT" 'running' that other `Beach Boys forum` !!  If that doesn`t call for a H^IQ-PAL.[=jk], I don`t know what does:

>YO! John K[ay]s T*N THOUSAND

             'DNAs` ! U'~oh: TnT`s !

             YAK ?  N°ho : JOY !!<

Thank you, Rasmus. I should imagine you'll be the first and the last. We only make small ripples over there, you know.
 
I should point out that I don't run the other place but just post there a lot, so I suppose it does have my stamp on it to an extent... The other prolific poster there is Cool Cool Water.

Talking of other places, a major player in Beach Boy Fan Land is having his birthday today. This has been celebrated on "my" forum but not on "his". Odd, wouldn't you say?       

This is my desperate attempt (including some of the usual suspects) to palindromically incorporate the titles and BB co-authors of two books that are all over this forum. It does fall apart near the end (where it reads like a Babelfish translation, largely thanks to the major problem of reversing Wilson) but the final sentence puts everything back into wonderful perspective. Enjoy!
 
"Emma, I'd Etna Wilson," I blabbed. "O ogre, have a Danko oblate ponder reef! I (Lyme Regis) rip/rev L.A. vibrations. Yo, Brian! O bedlam... Ron, tame vole! Kim, add A, edit B! Beach, CA, ebb tide: add a Mike Love mat, normal debonair boys. No, I tar bivalve R. Pirsig, ere my life err. Ed, no petal book----nada! Eva her good ebb albinos Li wanted. I am me."

After all the recent excitement, back to boring old palindromes. That said, this iffy one broaches a hot item in its own circuitous way. Perhaps I should add that CILB is the Florida-based Construction Industry Licensing Board:

Flexi ferrets evolve IKEA, it unimparted as gulp, sirrah. Florida, eh, Raja? Dennocrats sneer "Get a leg." Indiana Brupublicans secure P.A. (I pot). Ullapool is at Sinair----bet no Carlivores! Serov: "Il raconte!" Brianistas, I loop all: Utopia, Peru, Cessna, CILB... up urban aid! Nigel ate greens. Star conned a Jarhead. I, Rolf Harris, plug Sade, trap minutiae, Kiev Lovester. Refix, elf!

Yes, you made it , sir (1o.ooo posts)! Over here you've 'only' got 25% of that number (2500ish) - but getting there ... eventually!
beachboysforum.freeforums.org

Neither Brian nor Mike chose the following title for their new biographies - probably wisely so! By the great palindromist WILL THOMAS:

"A Gassy Obese Boy's Saga"

 :lol

Most of the animals in this off-kilter menagerie can be found in a BB song title:

Worms, i.e. Del's Sahara ebony: "Be, damsel." (Gaelic: "I do, cow.") Tempo woodpecker (Idaho), dawg, ibex, a bird rib... Axe big wad. Oh, a dire KC EP----doo wop me! Two codicil eagles made by no bear. A hassle? Deism row

The theme of this palindrome is Mike's notorious rant at the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Regrettably, "interstescene" proved impossible to reverse!      

R.E.M., Mubarak? Nah! Spot pom turbomaniac. Camp Paul fan: "I'm a Jagger." O no! Design ivory ID (Dinah's). Alf (Leo) jams telegram. Did Tina, as harmony, bore Ross/Boss ex-attorney...? OK. O Yoko yen! "Rot, taxes!" sobs sore Robyn. Om, Rahsaan. (It did.) Marge lets Ma Joel flash an ID. DIY roving is e-donor. Egg a jam in a 'flu app. Macca in a mob rut. Mop-Top! Shankar a bummer??

This palindrome features the two other names the Beach Boys have had in their career: 

One S, no I's. (Sap, eh?) Two-rid'n' Al races pals. Diesel a "pendle" if tones unite. Jet in use, not field. Nepalese IDs lapse. Carl and I row the Passions, Eno

After two abortive attempts on the first and last couple of syllables, this may be the definitive version of a 'drome that features three members apiece of two bands the Boys have played with on stage:

He's tendered Durrie wad? Nah! "Sell it, nun----Avici, not Cetera, Garcia, Kath, Gina, Lee," frets Pankow. OK, Napster, feel a night. Akai, crag are tectonic, Ivan----until Lesh and a Weir ruddered nets, eh?

 
Mom: dos ojos, to M. Gage’s uno  

On! Use gag mot(t), so jo’s (thomas) od(d).  Mom!!!

 :afro

Yes indeed. Thank you, sir. It can get lonely on this stretch of the beach.  ;D   

 :hat

One more for ya - happy Friday, john k!

Brian’s canines, adding their own "pet sounds", as immortalized at the end of Caroline, No:

The lyrical deity + immortal sex symbol with the 6-pack, "ab God" Mike Love, talking some gibberish about his favorite record formats, after his infamous apple juice fasting + subsequent high-speed car chase.  The pics, including (Cam) Mott's® apple juice, help tell the story.

 :lol

My way of paying humble (palindromic) homage to krablaw's most recent fantastic slideshow:

EP ("Ah, so great / iron estate") spun. I'm in upset at Senorita. Ergo: shape! 

Next up is "Prayer". It may be just one word but it still required ten to make a palindrome. Its brevity makes this the ideal opportunity for a simplified breakdown:  

- reyarp | prayer
- to prey arp | prayer pot
[I don't accept ARP (as in synth) as satisfactory, so:]  
- to prey arpa | a prayer pot
[arpa (harp) requires another musical term for it to make any sense, e.g.:]
- to prey arpa tacet | tec at a prayer pot
[Az is the the logical addition to tec:]
- to prey arpa tacet za | Aztec at a prayer pot
[It took just one p (after a little thought) to complete the palindrome:]

To prey (arpa tacet): zap Aztec at a prayer pot

Cent, you know me by now - always running with your great ideas (and john's too). Can't help myself. To me, your palindrome sounds like the full PS-ending with old man Murry (Reggie D/Gage) tampering with the speed of Caroline No. How dared he?!:

>Dog, "Banana" made
PS on tape! REG'ger-EP
at no: sped a man??  An *
         ab GOD !!<

Or why not make it a tanka- aka waka-palindrome, the 3 of us together? Like so [by CenturyDeprived/john k (4th line)/rasmus skotte:]

>Dog "Banana" 'made'
PS-tape!  NO, Caroline
No: a Gage gaga -
one-nil OR a con-EP
at sped-a-man?  An 'ab God!'<

Nice, Rasmus. The idea of Murry tampering with the speed of Caroline No is hilarious. We should consider ourselves lucky we don't have sped up chipmunk-sounding dogs on the album!

Not trying to be a jerk, but these are anagrams, not palindromes. A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same both frontwards and backwards, like "radar".  :)

Also, I'm super bad at these, serious props to everyone playing. My mind boggles...

Or a sentence. or a paragraph...

Anagram: a word, phrase, or sentence formed from another by rearranging its letters: “Angel” is an anagram of “glean.”

Palindrome: A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward. Allowances may be made for adjustments to capital letters, punctuation, and word dividers. Examples in English include "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!", "Amor, Roma", "race car", "stack cats", "step on no pets", "taco cat", "put it up", "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" and "No 'x' in Nixon".

I think you'll find all of the above----or at least all mine----are palindromes... 

Well, isn't my face red! If I had a head for these things I probably would have noticed that. Butting ouuuuuut... now.

No problem, SCZ. But if you should see one of mine that doesn't read exactly in both directions, don't hesitate to let me know. :=)

"One-nil or a con", man! EEK, john - you've overtaken me & my BB-OWN-ODD-ODE-ONE palindrome-topic by numbers (views)! NA$E GOING!    (;=}] And again: 'NO PROBLEM'!

P.S.
And I totally agree with "Silken" from that other BB-forum, jk. Not exaggerating WHATSOEVER! And thanks so much for the fine credit ...

R, you're most welcome! And thank you----the way things are going I shall get so swollen-headed that soon I won't fit through the door to Smiley. :lol     

Man, it's so sad to see two forum mods at each others' throats. Perhaps if I construct a palindrome around their names... Nah, it would never work!

Go decide, Billy. Dirk cajoles Lot. I pack Capitol's ELO, Jack R.... Idyll: I bed ice dog

Although drbeachboy's departure was not quite what I had in mind...

I bed ice dog?!?  :lol As in the deceased Wrinkles, on ice at the pet morgue?

Well, you know... palindromes more or less write themselves in the end. But yes----why not?! ;D

Like this one?

That's the spirit, R. :=)

Here's my first attempt at a shorter GV palindrome:

Si, erase----yes, no? I tar bivalve. Remit emo's didgeridoo good. I, Reg, did sometime rev LA vibrations. Eyes are I's

This is in response to that curious remark supposedly made by Dennis about Al:

Tundra----we reign it. I await rope (Panama) for a bus, Tetsu. Bar of a man-ape, Portia waiting (i.e., reward Nut)

There's a danish cartoon/comic book character ("kristers Oplevelser" = Krister's adventures) who talks exclusively in palindromes. Like here, where we have Krister commenting on the american presidential campaign IN ENGLISH palindromic paragraph (hoping this'll work or perhaps jk can help out):

www.kristersoplevelser.dk/bulk/imgpages/076_01.jpg.html


>NOT/NIL, CLINTON !<  [By jk]

It works, R. Did I write that Clinton one?? Interesting...!

And now: When you decide to take just <southern> and <northern> from the lyrics of "California Girls" to construct a palindrome (which ended up starring Ian Rusten!) and find yourself stuck with the unworkable combination <TUOS>, it's amazing what a desperate mind will come up with... 

Fresno's up at southern air, Marat. Author Ian R., eh? Trondheim, i.e., HD. Northern air: oh tuatara! Mr Ian R., eh? T.U.O.S. (tap us on, serf).

A palindrome on Mike's attempt at rewording the lyrics of 'Til I Die to be POSITIVE AND HAPPY THE WAY BEACH BOYS SONGS SHOULD BE

 :lol

The battle for mullet superiority, where Joe Thomas and the ghost of Eugene Ellsworth Landy face off. The two went a bit too far, overdosing their locks with hairstyle products to keep the business in front/party in the back.

Mullet OD wars: JT vs EEL

Or... the battle for the best raw veggies around. Where to shop with Radiant Radish out of business? The new competitor Lee's Health Food? Or Trader Joe's?

Lee’s v TJ’s raw. Do tell! Um…

(In my defense, these awful palindromes do make the work day go by a little faster)


(http://i68.tinypic.com/2lw8948.jpg)

Your palindromes are fine, CD. And anything to help get through the working day can only be applauded. ;D

If only more folks would try their hand at it----constructing palindromes, I mean.

Thanks, john k. Just for that, here's one more  ;D

The scene: the late 1970s...

Mike's producer telling it to Mike like it is: Unless he can lease the master barking tapes from Caroline, No to add to the end of Wrinkles, it will have NO chance of ever being a hit.

Love’s dog track?  Minus barks? It is to be NO no. 1!

Or... during a break from recording, Mike plays with his toy robots, and talks beatnik-style about writing more songs about fun/sun/crustaceans ... maybe even doing a disco song to give KC and the Sunshine Band a run for their money... and then the topic turns to religion.

1 on one! Bots it is. Krab? Sun? I’m KC art! Gods? Evol.

This time, Brian himself tries to re-word only to find that it gets even sadder! The word "a-lei'd" is of course lifted from the BB-album title: "Lei'd In Hawaii" D.A.= Dumb Angel-Stone'bot/E.T.  [Tanka-palindrome by CenturyDeprived/RasmusSkotte:]
[It's come to my attention, that while being {flower}lei'd is still a very sad thing in a song about dying, it COULD be misunderstood as (with a terrible pun): 'getting lei'd'! But that belongs more in a Dennis-song (?) and in all fairness: 'It's Gettin' Laid' was written by Carl!]

>'T.I.D.-rewrite

And to celebrate: let's (re-)visit Weird Al's hilarious BOB-spoof-palindrome-video:

http://www.flixxy.com/bob-dylan-palindrome.htm

Now, I'm going ALL-IN hoping to be NOBEL-LIT nominated next time (;=}] Here with a senryu-palindrome (3/3/3)...

Who came up with that early SMiLE-album-title anyway ? Was it
a) Alan (with egg on his angel face) OR
b) Brian (with mud in his angel eyes)?

>"Dumb Angel"
     All AL-Eg'?
  Na, B-mud !<

I had some trouble downloading this video, but here's another link I found to be working ok:

https://vimeo.com/44024588

But at least the frustration Yank'd yet another haiku-palindrome:

>DYLAN : AL Y'd<

>O go toe-dive MOR',
Dylan in AL Y. : 'drome-
video to GO!<

One may or may not note that "BLONDE" is an anagram for NOBEL-D.
And finally Beach Boys saluting Dylan (from Add Some Music:)

----our-own-BOB-DID-IT our-own-BOB-DID-IT----

"Paul Jay Robbins" of SMiLE-fame, was only 21 years old when he released his book: "Twelve Haikus" in L.A., 1958. Having done so many haikus and palindromes myself, I think It's About Time that PJ Robbins gets one of his own. Some VERY UNFAIR reviews are quoted last, though (IGNORE THOSE, please!) P.s.: can anyone reading this, quote a single Robbins-haiku here - then THAT would be brilliant!! If one happens to DIG both Robbins AND Dylan, here comes a real treat with the former interviewing the latter in 1965:

www.interferenza.com/bcs/interw/65-nov08.htm
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             [haiku-PALindrome dedicated to haiku-master P.J. Robbins:]

>"LA; PAUL JAY ROBBINS :

'Bory'? 'A.J.'? Lua' ?  [-PAL.]<

Here goes Bob's own review of Weird Al's Dylan-parody. He even takes the time to make it a palindrome. Not a very good one, but still:

>Weird Al Yankovic.
Is "BOB"-- [sic !] (=I) --v'* ok?
NAY, lad ! : 'R' iew ...<

Here's Mike's conclusion regarding his and Brian's new books [haiku-palindrome by Will Thomas/rasmus skotte;]

>Tao, BW!  Oh so gone;

a gassy oBESE BOY'S saga,

e'?  No-Go Showboat ...<

CARLs TRADER-2fer; Already, almost two tunes fitted into one song. Question is: real art and/or wee leftist?...

>Re: d'ART, eh?: The Trader<
>>'Red' art, eh?: The Trader<<

And as-if we had been 'doubting Thomasses': DENNISses love song IS the MOSTest, EVERest eternal one EVER! And all FRACTAL-like too!
Hope it's not TOO off-full (?):

>Dennis Inned<

>Forever off-of
ForEver of ForEVER
off-of FOR EVER-of<

Holidays are always good for something and in my case it's palindromes. I turned out a cool six during the past week.

The first one I constructed is dedicated to the famous middle eight that made The Beatles great again:

O Haig! Roe/gut, nab Nino two C's. Omnivores tar a rap. Ukraine: Vidi, veni... Ark up Ararat, Serov in Moscow. Ton in Bantu, Georgia----ho!

This next one pays tribute to a great Henn-Wilson song. Scotland makes a welcome reappearance in the company of an ancient British tribe: 

Loop Al, Lulu. O sunshine----cigar dew! Ol' soulful Ullapool. All Iceni: Danko, ol' man, P. Namlook, Nadine, Cilla... Loop Al, Lulu----'flu (Oslo). We drag Iceni H's (Nu-Soul Ullapool)

During a late shift in his own healthfoods store (after midnight) in 1969, Brian gets a surprise customer: lyricist Tony Asher, who asks if it 'wouldn't be nice',  IF the the two of them got together once more, to write an album like Pet Sounds (referred to as 'Sid{Sharp}art'):]

>"At one ~ 'Radiant

Radish': "uh-huh, 'Sid-art'?  Na,

I dare --- no, T.A. !"<

Not sure who''s the most prolific of us these days, lol.

If the time I take to construct most 'dromes can be measured in hours, this one fell wonderfully into place in mere minutes:

Andrea: Sunrays yarn USA... er, DNA

I'm saving the chronological #4 for Hallowe'en. This fifth one features the last track on Sunflower and the first on Surf's Up, a most unsettling combination when played in sequence on the 2fer: 

Go, cool Gigi. Greta, wet cart near epos. I don't nod. Is opera entr'acte water-gig igloo cog?

Loop de loop. Re-vocallize. Al, Al… Al!

La La La! EZ. I’ll a’ cover. Pool, Ed. Pool!

Great stuff, CD! And all in a good cause (alleviating the pain of work).

This is #6 in this mini-series of holiday 'dromes. Brian's innocent little crowd-organizing piece gets the john k treatment:
 
Mop-top Starr: "Annie Mae, R. Dio's rug is sorta oblate." (Ma wore filth/gin.) A nightlife row, a metal boat (Ros, Sigur). So I dream----"Ein, narr!"----at spot P. Om!

With Hallowe'en being celebrated in our street tonight (absurd----it's not a Dutch tradition, just another way of milking the gullible Dutch public), I knocked together this ode to the most ghoulish BB song in an hour or two. <Solution> being the devilishly awkward word it is to reverse, I had to be creative (again):

Deficit, eh? Tap my solution! I hem, 'tis I. Is it "Me hi"? No, it "U lo"! (Sympathetic, I fed.)

Had to hold this one back for today. And gosh darn it if a witch didn't find her way into it! Don't blame me----I just got the ball rolling:   

Sag on, anti-mega-hero monster. Refract espagnol (olé!). Merc. Rev: "Ol' Graveyard", etc. Craps (s)mash Sam's spar: cc. Ted Ray, Eva, R. Glover... Creme (Lol) on gap-set car ferrets no more. Hag, emit nano-gas!

Given that Rick Henn was a member of 'Murray's band' SUNrays (with their hit "I Live For The Sun"), I wondered if "Soulful Ol' Man SUNshine" could have been Henn's tribute to Ol' Man Wilson(?)...

This is another experiMENTAL(?) haiku-palindrome. A tribute to the 3 great STEPHENs in Beach Boys history. Lyricist (and a fine poet in his 'own write'!: Kalinich. And the two excellent BB sound engineers: Desper (sadly decamping Smiley!) & Moffitt. ["Even Steven" allegedly a working title for Busy Doin' Nothin', which (the first one) may or may not have been dedicated to Kalinich and/or Desper:]

>Never 'Even Stephen',
eh?  pet/s*-Stephen, eh:
pets 'n' EVER even<

John's fine halloween palindrome in a halloween-waka-pal version:

>Deficit, eh?  tap!

"My Solution" - I hem, 'tis

I. Aha!  Is it

"Me, Hi"?   No, it "U, lo"!

Sympathetic I fed<

Thank you, Rasmus. :=)

I'm now working on a more complex 'drome which I hope to finish sometime this week...

Great shame about SWD...

In Brian's new book, he states that HE would like to complete Loop de Loop, although Al did that several years ago, reeleased on an official Beach Boys compilation/sampler? Very confusing indeed! Anyway here's CenturyDeprived's palindrome in an extended waka-'drome remix:

>He: "Loop de Loop; RE-
vocallize, A.J.! Al, AL!
á la L°**, Al, DARN!!!"
"Rad: la-la-la-la-la - JAEZ!
I'll a-COVER pooled pool, eh?"<

>DESPER-A-DO (or
die)? Stephen: "one h° = "Pet*S°****.", e'!
I'd ROO-dare"  [P.s. - ed.]<

[* = Pet Sounds Forum]

And this is it. What began as a paean to the musicians on Surfer Girl ended up all over the place, the Netherlands included:

Spam, Al? "Racine veneer!" "U, a mellow Z!" Taping ELO (Lynne), David's unit solo. Tip a crew, Otto. No mega Mike----esoteric Sid Sharp! One's Selmer amp as an airbag, as lacunae. Keanu, Cal. Saga, Brian... asap, Ma. R.E.M. lessen Oprah's disc ire to seek image: Mo (not Tower Capitol) Ostin. U.S. diva Denny (lol), e.g., nip at Zwolle, Maureen. Even I, Carl, am a P.S.

A palindrome on middle-aged reflections on having quit a certain famous band as a teenager. Gotta make sure not to get in a rut by being stuck in the den for too long, and try to look at the brighter side of life.

Dam! Bye, Dave!  Marks turned 15

51. Den rut. Skram! Evade. Y b mad?

Good one, Cent! And U know the drill: it has to go haiku as well:! (P.s.: Dave got be ON an official Beach Boys album as a band member, 51 years after he joined in the first place!:)

>"Dam'!  Bye Dave!" (Marks turned

15!).   51; den-rut?, Skram??

"Evade - Y B mad?!"<

Now, that John is taking a well earned sabbatical, I would like to make this a well deserved 'paean' to HIM. One of his longest palindromes EVER, here in a revised renga'drome version. [Starring among others: Al.J./ Dave Marks/Mike L & his harpist sister, Maureen (OR is it just David's microphone turned off?)//Keanu Reeves/Oprah, having back pains (like CARL)/former Warner (NOT Capitol!) boss Mo Ostin/The Wilson Bros. & and Carl's former father-in-law Otto 'PoP' Hinsche/Sid Sharp of Pet Sounds fame and flying 'dutchman', the 'K'-ster himself (my input, I'm afraid!:)

The day after ...

Memorial haiku-palindrome:

>On LEONARD COHEN,

eh: O, CD-Ra !  Noel?

No. ++++ '+ ++^++ <

First posted at my other board earlier this week, this 'drome is dedicated to the Rovell family, a safe haven for Brian from the early '60s on:

Reg ("Italia"): Hiya, Marilyn, I've rupees! (King I, reign IV.) Ride us to Noel, Rovell! Lewis, I video denim tops----a "Hen Aid" (Sahara). Barbara has, Diane has; pot mine, Doe (divisi). Well... Lev or Leo? Not sued, Irving (i.e., rig Nik, see pure vinyl). Ira, may I hail a tiger?

Food in BB/BW titles:

E.T. satyr, re H.C. Andersen. I, Reg, natter on. Pure vegetables, Aesop? Rahsaan, tell it----sugar, pea, no bread (nu-speed). Yen... o honey! Deep Sundae (R. Bona EP). Rag us till Etna, as Harpo's easel. Bat, e.g. ever up. Nor E.T. (tangerine S, red N), a cherry taste.

Memorial haiku-palindrome:

>LEON RUSSELL: L.A.

"W. CREW'er"   C.V. ? ALL !!

Less U R, noel <

The phrase "wholly holy cow" has always intrigued me----hence this palindrome:

Wow! O cow! Ten olives mar vinyl. Oh goddess idyll, oh wholly dissed dog! Holy "Nivram"'s evil one-two cow: "Ow!"

For the uninitiated, "Nivram" is a cool instrumental by The Shadows. Very handy when confronted by the letters <niv>...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TALdgXhSTO8

Me too! In fact, I used that very phrase in my Mrs. O'leary's Cow/FIRE videos.

You'd think "Country Air" (the song) and Chamberlin (the instrument, as heard in the song) would be the easiest of words on which to build a palindrome. Well, Air was okay, I suppose...     

Fresh air, Utah. (Wotan, it's O [mid.], C [lt.], Y [rt.].) Nu-octane Rossini? Pah! Chamberlin----"des rêveries" oppose. I reversed "nilreb", Ma! H. Chapin is sore. Nat, country, TLC, dim ostinato... What? Uriah, serf

CenturyDeprived. I'm a fan of your palindromic ideas! Sorry if I ever went too far! I'm stuck in a rut! "Slowhand" made me do it ...

>>#Not pal., Century;

#HAIKU-PALs !! 'Slap' U? °k, I ?? A~h ...

#Y rut °n?  #E.Clapton<<

The sea in BB titles:

Salt a sea! Me, I'll e-frustrate J-Lo disc. I'm on ocean? Nah, I rev a wise water gear. O gnat----Angora egret awes. I wave Rihanna economics (idol jet art?). Surf Ellie Mae's atlas

There may not be a photo of all nine Beach Boys together but this sprawling mess of a 'drome goes some way towards compensating for that omission by combining all of their surnames. As always, <Wilson> was the problem name to reverse, hence the play with L and XL...   

Emu Love? I'm a Johnston! (Knits Rex if Fataar rub a kook.) Nil? Pah! Choose no Marks, Alfred. No Wilson I.D., Enid. "Raja Hostel" big? XL! ("King Nik LX Giblets".) Oh... a Jardine! ("Dino's"? L!) I wonder-flask Ramones. Ooh, Chaplin kookaburra at affixer's tin knots. Ho, Jamie----volume!

This quickie contemplates the change from <break> to <broke> in the Boys' version of "SJB". One way to resolve an impossible combination of letters arrived at by reversing a word is to question them:*

No net timbre? Break a sloop now! (Broke 'em, John.) Ho, J. Meek orb won pools, aka E.R.B. (E.R.B.?). Mitten on!

* Another is to make those letters stand for something, as in >Fresno's up at southern air, Marat. Author Ian R., eh? Trondheim, i.e., HD. Northern air: oh tuatara! Mr Ian R., eh? T.U.O.S. (tap us on, serf)<

My humble ode to krablaw's latest masterpiece took a little longer to construct than I expected. The slightly iffy extremities took me the best part of a day to think up. Away from the computer, of course----in fact, the entire palindrome (with a leading role for Alan) was worked out exclusively on paper and/or in my head: 

Sedan, Alp, see, kill! A G.I. duo yodels "I am A.J.'s Mr Owsley"/"El Paso". Rosa Pleyel's worms jam aisle. Do you dig Al like esplanades?

Van Dyke has had it up to HERE with Brian Douglas' "buffoonery", comparing it to 'Cyrano' de Bergerac's ditto:

>#B*' D., ENOFF e' -

#BUFFOONaRY, 'Cyrano' ~

#(off U B, eff'* one!)~d' B.<

That tantalizing snippet on Hawthorne, CA:

Red days on "Jay Leno". Lonely A.J., nosy adder

We've had fauna in BB song titles and now it's flora's turn, once again featuring the ubiquitous Al. I spent ages pondering the abrupt start and end of this 'drome and eventually decided to leave it as it is. Blueberry being a dreadful word to reverse (yrrebeulb, anyone?) meant resorting to the most desperate measures so far: 

Red is no cotton... Red Neva "log-o-tree" denims (A.J., Ayr). Re: B, EU, lb. (abbrev.). Gnu on noun G: verb B. A blueberry, a jasmine deer to go. Lavender not to consider

This one features the three ladies (plus a cast of thousands) that get mentioned in The Regents' less messy but far less joyous version of "Barbara Ann": 

No rib, Barbara Ann. O dame, use Mal, Boy G., Geppetto, Nylon Sid (L.A.), Betty O'Hare, VU (old Lou), Vera, Hoyt... Tebaldi's no Lynott EP, Peggy. O blame! Sue Madonna, Arab Rabbi Ron!

Two songs on the LDC album namecheck real people. Here they are, in the company of two great 20th-century composers plus the usual rampant insanity:      

A raga (India), SF fungi, Arcana (Edgard IQ)... S. Prokofiev (old), e'er base major termite Tim, Retro James, a Breedlove if OK (or PS). Q: I drag Dean? A: Craig! 'Nuff said, Niagara

Some body parts in BB/BW song titles:

Head an act on heart, amuse masses. Oh pro-manatee, fool a hair, a shoulder----rats! A garden made H. Truman eye Namur. The Damned raga starred Lu. Oh sari, a halo. O feet anamorphoses! Same Sumatra, eh? Not Canada, eh?

Three modes of transport in BB song titles (with a nod to the Tour de France):

No e-cars? Planes iron air data----obverse, Wes. Rev boat, Adrian. O risen Alps, race on!

Why wouldn't there be an evil one? Google this:

"Batman Faces Palindrome"

Ha. As if he wasn't busy enough already!

And now----the seasons in BB titles:

L.A.: Penniman, Tupac, Terragni (R.P.'s "Little" by name)... edit summer or Dennis. May bad 007 fill a fret! N.I.W.? Nil in winter. Fall, if 700 dab yams in Ned Rorem: "Must I deem any belt 'til spring?" [Arr. (etc.): A Putnam in Nepal]

For those who think I make up some of these names, Terragni was an architect who designed iffy stuff for Il Duce and Ned Rorem is a composer who effectively stifled his career early on by publishing juicy diaries.

And just for that, here's a somewhat critical Batman (& Zorro) 'drome, at least compared to Master H.G. (ink-)WELLS:

>Bruce 'NN' Wayne/Z°

El Dark Knight? H.G.: ink-kradle!

Zen-yawn/°NE-curb!<
