Although I think a palindrome is usually a phrase - "Madam I'm Adam", "Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba", "A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama" and so on.
I was thinking of the Montey Python sketch. But yeah, in the sketch one of the characters says it doesn't work:
C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswitch.
A: No, this is Bolton.
C: (to the camera) The pet shop man's brother was lying!!
A: Can't blame British Rail for that.
C: In that case, I shall return to the pet shop!
He does.
C: I understand this IS Bolton.
O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?
C: You told me it was Ipswitch!
O: ...It was a pun.
C: (pause) A PUN?!?
O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?
O: Yeah, that's it!
C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
My brain is still not working. Send espresso, a trepanation kit and a funnel....
Is it wrong that my mind boggles at the fact that David Boreanaz is on Broadway?
And woo hoo more MSCL dvd release news!!!! October 30th AND it's affordable.
(BTW, JZ - when I saw that article re: Gothiness - I KNEW Buffistas had to read it.)
Good for DB -- I'm glad he's getting to try, you know,
real
acting. :-) But seriously, live theatre is a whole different experience for an actor, and one that with his jump directly into TV, he can't have had a whole lot of.
Anagram. At so early in the morning, it just wasn't penetrating into the musty recesses of my brainfolds.
sumi, that's awesome news about the MSCL re-release -- which, with the extras, I now MUST HAVE. Plus, I can actually give people sets as gifts instead of reluctantly, with fear and trembling, lending out my precious generic no-extras set and waiting (sometimes for months) for its return.
Generic set, off to eBay as soon as I've got the new one.
They'll get my lunchbox when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands, though.
I know! I can actually
afford
the new set when I couldn't even
think
about the lunchbox set.
PS, brenda: Go monkey, choose monkey!
I would highly recommend that people check their milk for freshness before pouring it on their morning cereal, as my first clue that mine had spoiled since yesterday morning was a mouthful of raisin bran. I guess the power outage yesterday was a lot longer than I'd thought, if it could go THAT rancid in 24 hours.
On the plus side, a state trooper jumped the median in front of me this morning to catch the guy that had just zoomed past like I was standing still (I was doing maybe 77 or 78 at the time). Schadenfreude tastes much better than sour milk.

That, IMHO, was the biggest advantage I got from switching to soy milk for my cereal in the morning. It takes weeks and weeks for it to go bad!
Thrakazog.
I watched that one too, and really liked it (though it was a bit mucus-filled for my taste). But the villain was great.
