17. javalina...

I rented a vacation home in Tucson a couple years ago and the owner warned that we must keep the short gate locked so the javalinas didn't get in... I thought "what the hell are javalinas?" never saw one but looked them up online... sorry about your attack!

14. "Even or odd, of all days in the year, Come Lammas-eve at night shall she be fourteen."

When I hear of Lammas-tide, I always think of Romeo and Juliet. Haven't seen the movie in years (the Zeffirelli version) - I'm about due to watch it again.
