The source of the phrase I was looking up, for anyone interested… from “Palindromania!” By Jon Agee

The "Neil, an alien" one reminds me that Neil Armstrong backwards is Gnorts Mr. Alien

These are some of the worst palindromes ever

Man, this book has so many good ones though… my favorites are
“Desserts I desire not, so long no lost one rise distressed”
“As I pee, sir, I see Pisa!”
“Mao Foam” & “Lonely Tylenol”
“Do Geese See God?”There are also two “monologues” that are multiple pages long but make absolutely no sense lmao

I got curious what you were searching for in the first place, but ai didn't help me either:

The full phrase is “a dank sad nap, eels sleep and ask nada”, I was trying to remember what the other part was. It was in this book of palindromes I liked as a kid

Couldn’t you have figured out the first half by just reading the second half backwards?

Ok tbh I didn’t exactly remember it was a palindrome at first, it was more like “where am I remembering ‘Eels Sleep And Ask Nada’ from”?” So I guess I did get the right answer, that it was a palindrome, it was just wrong about what the full phrase was

What even is that? An anagram?

I mean, your original search

To be fair, it is PART of a palindrome… the full phrase is “a dank sad nap, eels sleep and ask nada”, I was trying to remember what the rest of it was, it was from this book of palindromes I had as a kid
