The Palindrome Topic

[rasmus skotte]

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):

>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).

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)

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

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

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

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!]

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"

One may or may not note that "BLONDE" is an anagram for NOBEL-D.

"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:

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;]

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

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!

[JK]

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. !"<

[JK]

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

[JK]

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?

[CenturyDeprived]

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

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

[JK]

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!

[JK]

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.)
