 I recently saw My Big Fat GrΣΣk WΣdding 3. OK, typing that every time I need to say it is going to get exhausting.

Therefore, as I have a modest following (read: 2-3 people), I thought I'd ask you if you remember it and what it's from. If you do, please say so in the comments below. I vaguely remember it being Basil Brush, but this hasn't yielded any results. I'd
