SEX AT NOON TAXES: A short report from the National Palindrome Championships. Sadly, the winner receives neither a Race Car or A Toyota.

  1. They should hold the awards in Tulsa, home of my favorite palindrome:

    Tulsa nightlife: filth, gin, a slut.

    Kudos on the post, TPE.

    I loved this final line, which is perfection: "A press release from organizer Saltveit notes that the awards ceremony will be modeled after the Oscars, though any offensive musical numbers will be limited to singular “boob” references."


    Palindromes hold a special place in the heart of my marriage, as my husband insisted early on that the famous Panama one included a plane ("A man, a plan, a plane, a canal...."). I got exasperated, yelling, "there's no plane!," a phrase that is now our #1 inside joke.

    The longest one I've memorized is this,which is both palindromic and vetrically symmetrical:


    AIM A TOYOTA TATAMI MAT AT A TOYOTA, MIA.

    A twitter from John Wesley harding: "I have decided to rechristen the word "palindrome". Henceforth it will be known as "wordrow". OK?"

    Looks like you and I might have read the same issue of GAMES magazine a couple of decades ago.

    Me too! That was the winner, but someone I knew in town had an honorable mention and I was boggled.
