References

• "Let's ask Mr. Owl" in the haiku is a reference to a classic commercial for Tootsie Pops, where a kid is told to "Ask Mr. Owl" for the answer to the question "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"
• The maypole attack message is a pun on the Baha Men song "Who Let The Dogs Out".
• The wax lips attack message derives from an Internet meme and image macro that features a photo of a snowy owl with the words "O RLY?" superimposed over it.
• The Lucky Tam O'Shanter message refers to the fact that Snowy owls can turn their heads up to 270 degrees.
