That's really good. If you ever come up with your own variation and beat a GM with it, i suggest you should name it the Bee-chicken-onion variation of the bendy-o-my-defense 😛

Somebody mentioned to me that the British way of pronouncing "Khaki" is Kar-key or something similar. I told him he was a lying scumbag. Am I right?
