Never Underestimate the Importance of Body Language

This started as a question from a goofy little show about Pirates.
Our Flag Means Death (streaming on HBO)

If I could make a candle that embodied the Gentleman Pirate, what would his Co-Captain smell like?

What does Jeff the Accountant smell like? (We weren’t going to go for a realistic attempt at Blackbeard because…gross… pirate… horrible person in real life… so lets go with goofy fictional bisexual pirate zaddy instead.

I had this sample of Black Sea fragrance oil that I’d been waiting to try out. And I thought of this captain who wears fine things well. Who appreciates a rather exquisite cashmere and looks damn good in plum.
A Kraken, borne of the ocean, surrounded by smoke and leather.
Poor unfortunate souls…

Whoever put Taika Waititi in the Mad Max jacket deserves a freaking cookie and the key to a city. Thank you.

And watch this sweet little show. It’s a layer cake of fantastic and then you can drool over Season 2 coming with the rest of us.
