    Yep, that Sweden alright. We're strangely obsessed with the weather. We also have a myth that if you kill a spider it's going to rain the day after.

      @@kellylundy5115 Not surprising as I recall a lot of people from The Emigration settling in Michigan, and the Midwest overall. I also remember that in the 1900's Chicago was the largest "Swedish" city in the world after the Swedish capital by population.

    I find it weird to see the Business Blaze setting and not have Simon talk about cocaine. I wonder if the lamp is in some way related to, or in cohorts, with ETA.
    Also, I'm Swedish so i SHOULD know this, but this is completely new to me. How have I missed this glorious king?!

      Now that you mention it, lamp is kinda looking menacing towards Simon - would not put it past ETA/Charles to cleverly insinuate an ally on set! btw I think ETA is going to make a comeback soon because Winter is coming... :-)

    I had a hat when I came in
    And I hung it on the rack
    And I'll have a hat when I go out
    Or I'll break somebody's back
    Casey wore his brand new hat
    To Murphy's wake last night
    Someone stole his hat and
    Boys, it started up a fight;
    Casey smashed the furniture,
    The radio as well,
    He nearly woke the corpse up
    When he began to yell:
    I had a hat when I came in
    And I hung it on the rack,
    And I'll have a hat when I go out
    Or I'll break somebody's back
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    And I don't want to shout
    But I had a hat when I came in
    And I'll have a hat when I go out!
    Casey kept on shouting, boys
    They couldn't keep him quiet
    Someone phoned up for the cops
    To come and stop the riot
    Two cops rushed into the room
    But Casey laid them out
    He fired them through the window
    They both heard Casey shout
    I had a hat when I came in
    And I hung it on the rack
    And I'll have a hat when I go out
    Or I'll break somebody's back
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    And I don't want to shout
    But I had a hat when I came in
    And I'll have a hat when I go out!
    Casey kept on shouting, boys
    Till one-eyed Paddy Flynn
    Socked him on the whisker
    With a great big rolling pin
    He knocked poor Casey senseless
    It was an awful clout
    As he lay there unconscious
    Casey kept on shouting out
    I had a hat when I came in
    And I hung it on the rack
    And I'll have a hat when I go out
    Or I'll break somebody's back
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    And I don't want to shout
    But I had a hat when I came in
    And I'll have a hat when I go out!
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    I'm a peaceful loving man, I am
    (I had a hat when I came in
    And I hung it on the rack
    And I'll have a hat when I go out
