I always had trouble memorizing the acronyms and like Frenchy, I found that in the time it took me to dig the acronym out of my memory and decode it, I could do a complete sweep of the cockpit and switches and reference my custom cheater checklist.

O Blimy A Freakin' Gorilla Killed Mom.

That's the only way I can remember it by order.
