13th Labour

Nasty encrypted card. Will probably end up with a key of "elephant" and a plaintext containing ASCII art of Kurt naked. See also: Hideaway, Sekrit.

Helicopter-loving sekrit group with a penchant for universe-spanning conspiracies and vicious murders - who are all quite nice, really. You just have to get to know them, y'know?

To scatter oneself over a large radius. See also: Skenmy; Unasplode.

B

Ba-na-na (n)

Sometimes, a kloo is not a kloo. It is, in fact, a ba-na-na. Ba-na-na is not a dismissive term, nor an insulting one, just used to imply that in Perplex City, as in life, things are often all that they seem and nothing more.

BFC

You probably qualify in one way or another.

Billion To One

Card requiring the player to track down a man who was probably happily minding his own business before some puzzle architect took his photo and stuck it on thousands of cards.
