Golden Tickets #8 & #9 “Score man! Oy! Yo’ name rocs!”

Where have the Golden Tickets been you ask?? We don’t want ya’ll to think we been slackin’. Over here at WHY? Inc. things have gotten a little hectic. The boys spent a month and a half recording new WHY? songs in Texas, Yoni, Josiah & Liz spent another few weeks recording vocals back home and then Yoni was off to Atlanta mixing with Graham Marsh! We’ve got a small window of free time (well, not exactly free) to hold a quick two-fer Golden Ticket contest. What does it all mean? Here’s the scoop:

“POT SONG”
-”Uh, Allah, sir? A secret sin: I mate!”
-’Godless- even I was so, to toss a wine vessel. Do get a minister, Cesar.’
-”I shall! A hug?”
-’No! Stop!’

Doug is Palindrome King (what, you didn’t know?). Fifteen years ago today Doug wrote his first palindrome on the back of an empty crisp packet while vacationing in Europe with the McDiarmid clan. Over the years he’s honed this rare and fragile gift. Today we honor his tremendous skill with words and back-words with a 72 hour (EST from when this is posted via Facebook) palindrome contest. There are 2 tickets and 2 winners. The winning palindromes will become the lyrics to each of the Golden Ticket mini songs. We will review the submissions and notify the winners via email.

RULES:
1) You must write an ORIGINAL palindrome. It cannot be copied, written by your friends, or your mom.
2) You must use YOUR NAME in this palindrome. It can be your first, last or nickname (if your real name is not palindrome-able). If you can use your first AND last name this will be considered highly advantageous.
3) Your palindrome can be anywhere between 10 and 100 words.
4) Only 1 entry per person.
5) Email your submission to admin@whywithaquestionmark.com – be sure to put your FULL NAME as the subject heading (not “golden ticket entry”, not “hey here’s my palindrome”, etc.).

  4. Andrew Number One

    Now I know I’m too late (I would never have won for cries of nepotism) but your contest inspired this:

    “Ahem, any metallic son o’ Diarmid? Ae, robot. To bore a dim raid, on oscillate my name. Ha!”

    Also, belated congratulations on the Michigandic nuptials!
