From http://www.gocomics.com/bobthesquirrel/2007/06/23/ : "Some
people out there have very little yet alone a closet to put it in..."
I googled this and there are other instances of this in place of "let alone":

"Few managers grasp the true nature of the knowledge creating company
- yet alone how to manage it"

Nobody buys Kia cars yet, yet alone a pickup truck
http://www.topix.net/news/gay/2007/04/facing-truth-of-being-a-gay-christian
you are comfortable and proudly associating yourself with and calling
you self a "GAY CHRISTIAN" yet alone a pastor
And that's just in the first 10 hits for "yet alone".
I've posted this to the eggcorn forum, as it didn't turn up in a search there.
