Palindromes and Anagrams, oh my

I discovered this while naming an excel report today with Saturday's date. In the format YYYYMMDD (year month day) it is 20100102 which is called a Palindrome. It also works as 01-02-2010. Had to Google it cause I couldn't remember what those were called. Anyway, I got on Wikipedia and eventually linked to anagrams (rearranging letters to form other words). I found out one of my favorite movies, October Sky, is an anagram of the main character's book called Rocket Boys. So after about an hour of playing with the letters, I came up with this:

Chevy Camaro = My Race Havoc

I tried "Chevrolet Camaro" and "Twenty Ten Camaro" but haven't come up with anything interested yet.

Chevrolet Camaro = Catch Roamer Love or Clear Metro Havoc

P.S. October Sky was partially filmed in Harriman Tn. How do I know? They set up cameras in our front yard. The film crew played ball with our dog during breaks. The jail scene was actually Harriman Public Library, 1 block from my FIL's garage. Thay came in and took over our little town for the summer. Pretty cool.

That is cool. Its such a great movie. I was infatuated with model rockets for a while after watching it, but I never really got that much into the hobby besides looking at them at the hobby shops.

Hmm Who seen this poem?

Dammit I'm Mad"


Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.

Twenty Ten Camaro = Attract Enemy Now, Menace Ratty Town, Romance At Twenty, Twenty Meat Acorn,
