正经八板

正 = 一 + 止 : Mnemonic symbol: a stick-figure with straight lines. James II of England (zh) really has to use the engine's bathroom ((e)ng4), but there's a stick-figure (正) blocking the stalls with a barrier (止). The stick-figure measures with a flute (一) whether James is tall enough to go. James stands very straight (正) to make himself as tall as possible.

经 = 纟 + 又 + 工 : Joan of Arc is boiling with indignation when she sees a silk worm (or rather a book worm?) looking out of a hole in her sacred tome in front of the engine. To drive the worm out, Joan of Arc attached a boxing glove to a steel beam and gains momentum for her sucker punch.

八 = 丿 + ㇏ : Mnemonic symbol: an eight-ball.

Beelzebub (b-) wants to find new ways to lure people into playing pool billiard. To this end he is meditating on top of an eight-ball (八) in front of the Ashram (a1). He uses a finger (㇏) and a banana (丿) as incense to create the right atmosphere.

板 = 反 + 木 : The protester (反) was protesting against the Christmas tree (木) in the anthill (an3) when Beelzebub (b) Just wanted to enjoy his drink at the bar. Beelzebub was so annoyed that he set up a plank (板) on the bar and made the protester walk the plank (板).
