It's "mom, pop, mom" upside down.

The twin-peak theme is expressed in the dual points of the W/M, and in
the double W's of "wow", and in the double-wow's of the palindrome.

Just as the double-W's of "wow" represent the twin peaks with the town
of TP between them, the palindrome as a whole represents the twin
"wow"s of the lodges with the mundane world between them--and Bob is
in the place represented by the mundane world.

The reversed-ground version of "mom, pop, mom" is "pop, mom,
pop"--Donna's dilemma.  And the two "pop"s are the "horns" (i.e.,
peaks) of the dilemma.

I can keep this shit up all day.
