Baby, It’s Cold Outside. It’s such a fun song as the guy and girl go back and forth. Until you realize that he’s guilting her into sleeping with him. Eww!

Is your refrigerator running? Yes? Better go catch it!

Oh! Sorry, I wasn’t expecting you.

I thought the one on white’s far right was named “'Arry the H pawn”.

“Let’s go to bed so these people can go home.”

There was no one standard pirate flag. Different pirates used different flags, often with similar themes (black, skull, etc). The idea was to be intimidating: it was cheaper and easier if your target gave up without a fight.

Their favorite letter is “arrrgh”.
