1. I was at the festival of the vernal equinox...
...and I had a bit too much mead. Maybe this can help?

2. wouldn't one want to
put the leeches on the knee, then?

I could use a good spinal bloodletting.

Anyone got Steve Martin's phone number?

3. what's really odd about this picture is she's wearing make up
and has several leech bite marks. Just doesn't seem to go together.

6. Odd, when I was in the military, I had dozens of leeches on me
and I still hurt from head to toe.
I don't recall the natives being too damn fond of them either.
