April 19 S14 Ep2: Hags, Most Horrid!
Greetings, Dear Guests! We have for you this fine evening the opportunity to get to know some...unusual ladies. Okay. Hags. We'd like you to meet and take into your mushy, human heart a variety of horrific hags! We believe you'll find these unique women are often just misunderstood and have been mislabeled by a close-minded society. We also believe you'll find them to be mysterious, unpredictable...and hungry. From Ancient Greece to modern times, hags have been in the very midsts of mankind, and we suggest you warm up to them! Welcome...

How very good of you to visit, dear guest! Do step into the Reading Room and warm your weary bones near the fire.

And argued about to this day...as to its whereabouts. Rest...and hear the tale of its bold captain and doomed crew who dared to make their ship traverse the Northwest Passage...almost 150 years too early.
