Simpsons plus Word-nerdiness equals Happy Wren

The keen eyes of a friend found this recently and knew I needed to see it. From 1995, Lisa in Wordland is a comic featuring many beloved Simpsons characters and much word-nerdiness. It is even more pertinent, as I have been thinking of word play [almost] non-stop for the past week or so.

Some of the priceless phrases: "If bombastic periphrastic grandiloquence be the music of life, then rattle on, I say. Rattle on!" courtesy of Sideshow Bob. Or maybe you prefer palindromes (from Otto, of course): "Tired nude man in a pajama I am. A japan I named under it."

But since a picture is worth 1000 words check these out.

If you're into palindromes, you ought to give a listen to Weird Al's song "Bob" off of the album "Poodle Hat". The whole song (http://www.alsongs.com/index.cfm?view=alsong&songnumber=170) is just a bunch of palindromes, which he sings like Bob Dylan... I just introduced my girlfriend to Al's zaniness and she loves it!
