Mark Saltveit Posted February 18, 2012 And now for something completely different! My other big avocation is writing palindromes (and I run this magazine, The Palindromist ). Check it out if you like that kind of thing. Â My big news is, on March 16th I'll be competing in the first ever World Palindrome Championship in New York City, organized by Will Shortz, the New York Times Crossword Puzzle editor. Â You're all going, right? :-) Â Tao banana boat! Â Mark Saltveit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Saltveit Posted February 19, 2012 Funny! You guys are dirty (don't get me started). That's amazing that you just made one up, you should post it on The Palindromist in the forums there.  I have another somewhat spiritual one, it's kind of my motto.  "Wary, alpine zen; I play raw!"  I'm also a standup comedian; here's a YouTube clip where I incorporate that and some others onstage. Not easy to do in a club full of drunks expecting dick jokes, let me tell you.  http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/nationnow/2011/11/11022011-palindromes.html  Mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted February 21, 2012 Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog! (and it's true!)   Level   Madam, I'm Adam! (but that's not true)   Racecar   and others, i cant remember, they're good. love 'em. Why isn't the word palindrome one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Saltveit Posted March 7, 2013 Why isn't the word palindrome one? Because words are symbols and not the thing itself. Not a fun answer but the real one. Â Hey, this palindrome discussion kind of tailed off, but I forgot to tell you, I won, and now I'm the world palindrome champion. Seriously! Â Anyway, the exciting news is that I'm hosting the first ever SymmyS Awards for outstanding palindrome acheivement for 2012. If you're in portland, northern avid judo ant, you should come! 8pm Sunday, Funhouse Lounge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not easy to do in a club full of drunks expecting dick jokes, let me tell you. "You expect me to make dick jokes now, don't you? ... Well, I could ask most of the men in this room to line up on the stage. Would that pass as a dick joke? ...... I'd have to leave the stage though, because ... well ... SPOILER ALERT! Haha!"

Mark Saltveit Posted March 8, 2013 Go Hang A Salami, I'm a Lasagna Hog The guy who wrote that book, Jon Agee, is one of the competitors. And "Weird Al" Yankovic, who made that the final palindrome in his song "Bob," is one of the celebrity judges (along with Demetri Martin, comedian Jackie Kashian and John Flansburgh from ). Look, Osho saw I was oh so kool!

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) WOW!!It's too bad I'm not a palindrome man... but i dig the anagrams to no end MY NAME is perhaps the most powerful anagram i have ever worked on Edited March 8, 2013 by Northern Avid Judo Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owledge Posted March 8, 2013 Â MY NAME is perhaps the most powerful anagram i have ever worked on What do you mean? An anagram needs at least two parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owledge Posted March 8, 2013 Ah, OK, so your new name and your old name are an anagram. Cool that "redundantjovianthor" even makes so much sense ... in itself even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apech Posted March 8, 2013 My screen name is an anagram of 'cheap' ... which is about right ... or 'peach' ... but I have to know you really well before I'll let you call me peachy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Gold ewe. ) -> Weld ego. -> We El God.    P.S.: An "analgram" is a pair of words that both consist of the same letters, except one has an additional "l". Just made that up.
