Barkman, if you meant me, the answer is "yes." And, as I am sure you probably know, delirium tremens often includes "formication" in the process.

OK, ~Me, you sick thing! The word "formica" comes from the Latin for ant, so when you think you have bugs crawling all over your body, like when you get the DTs, it is truly called "formication." Don't you BE sassin' me, now! >:-(

"Formication" is one of my all-time personal favorite words, next only to the phrase "butt ugly." :-)

for a nanosecond there, i thought i saw "oleander cafeteria" which would have been a tacky name for an eating establishment as oleander is highly poisonous. i wonder who olander was... looks like i have some homewirk to do....
