You've seen the cute season's greeting
==========================
ABCDEFGHIJK MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
==========================
and apropos of that I saw on the train to/from NYC yesterday some cute
billboards for a famous Scotch Whiskey:
==========================
ingle ells
ingle ells
(The holidays just aren't the same without J&B)
==========================
So in that vein I propose (where 6-12 is a bug-repellent popular in the
USA)
==========================
Hey, Edna, pass the 6-12 please -- I can't get rid of these damn
AB DEFGHIJKL NOPQR TUVWXYZ
==========================
Can you think of any more of these, holiday greeting or not?
Oops just thought of a Latin one...
==========================
Dona
A CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR TUVWXYZ
Pacem...
==========================
Sorry about that...
These things are kinda-sorta like Diginyms turned outside-in, hey?
Anyhow Happy Holidays, all...

My oldest Grandson sent a Christmas card that had on the cover (with
line drawings):
Ephants... Cames...
Inside it simply said "No L, No L"

A few years ago there was an advertisement in the UK something like
==========================
A B C D E G H I
J K L M N O P Q
R S U V W X Y Z
NO COMMENT
===========================
This occurred someway through a long advertising campaign by the
Financial Times, with the slogan `No FT, No Comment'. I always wondered
whether they had thought of this particular ad before the slogan for
the entire series.
