sensei Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) How could I have lived this long without knowing this? Thanks. I am now going by the name "Enlightened One". You'd better get this copyrighted before someone starts plagiarizing again, just like in the "You know you've been in Thailand too long" thread.

brahmburgers Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 dear Sensei, it's just a simple word game. such things can challenge the player and exercise the mind - somewhat like calesthenics. Perhaps it was no fun or no challenge for you. Congradulations on being so smart. Such word games can also spice up a teaching gig - by challenging students to think 'outside the box' - something that's sorely needed in Thailand. That's why I chose to include it in this category.

spectrum Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Is there a name for such a thing, as there is for pallinodromes? No idea ... any suggestions ? A Thai-type name could be good. If you like wordy stuff like this, a great site is www.fun-with-words.com . And if you don't, go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Brainburgers, When you put something up on a public forum, you are submitting your thoughts and ideas to the public's scrutinizing eyes. You should be willing to take both the good and hurtful things that people will say about your post. I have read a lot of your posts here and honestly, I thought you were a fun kind of guy who can GIVE and TAKE a joke... Just to prove that i truly enjoyed that word game, I have a word to add to your lengthy list... A $ $. Lighten up! See ya later, mate!
