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

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 |

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.
