Transcript:
Danae: So you won't cross this little bridge? Lucy: Not 'til it's inspected underneath for vampire slugs. Danae: There's no such thing, you nut-job! Lucy: Then you won't mind going down there to check it out. Danae: But it's muddy and yucky down there! GAH! Lucy: Yep...perfect conditions for vampire slugs.

Leeches were a problem in Vietnam. At night they would slither their way up the leg until they reached the crotch. We used the lit tip of a cigarette to burn them off. Nasty things.

Typical horse behavior put into words, for a big animal they’re afraid of everything.

Poor Lucy, listening to tv fantasy again. Maybe Danae will just havta look under that muddy bridge; but what for? Those ancient legends are great for story plots..

I hear that if you saute vampire slugs with some morels, they aren’t that bad….Add a little troll hair for a spicy dish…….

BTW, the funniest thing about equines. They often find things scarier on the ride out, then they do on the ride back. Especially, the closer to dinner time it is. Stomach wins over fear?
