Sarah Palin-dromes

Posted by Jon Harmon at 10:20 PM

Flip, a friend-of-a-friend, is officially even geekier than me, at least in one respect. He has invented "Sarah Palin-dromes", ie palindromes involving McCain's VP pick. He launched this game with the somewhat cryptic

"No Kay, AK? Kayak on!"

He has also submitted

"I hot sarah, as saharas to HI."

Never one to back down from a geek off, I came up with

"de veep: yen more of know-how; woh, wonk, foe Romney peeved."

I cheated by not quite exactly using the verb "yen" properly, and by misspelling woah, but I'm still pretty proud. Well, "proud" isn't exactly the right word, since it's a palindrome which was only written for a pun, but you know what I mean.

If you have your own, post 'em in the comments.

How the heck did we miss this one? I just saw Wasilla written, and saw it immediately:

All I saw was... I saw WASILLA.

It's the reaction of anyone who knows anything about Wasilla to reports about Palin.; 8:16 PM, September 03, 2008
