I have a memory like a steel trap. Everything that goes in gets mangled
beyond recognition.
From the comic strip "Frank & Ernest", I think.

I was thinking winter/summer. As opposed to Spring/Fall (one
vowel each). Mind you, Autumn would mess that plan up.
Solstice cards works, too. One of the solstices with two vowels
in the season specifier. :>

Mind you, Autumn has three vowels in it, so that still works...
(yes, I know any word with three vowels in it has two vowels in
it by definition, but you could just say "only two vowels"...) >> Stay informed about: ABML Holiday Card Exchange -- the third (fourth? second? w.. |

Non-mangled posting email address, I hope? I got your email
from the 'From:' field of this newsgroup post; that's where the

If you are really picky you note that 'autumn' has two vowels, one of
them used twice.

We had dinner at Outback last night. Hanging from the Ceiling was a
banner, advertising their "Aussie Autumn" special.

I wonder how many times a night those poor waiters/esses hear
that. They're gonna hate that particular advertising special

Sounds like a nice evening out, though. ;>
