G.) in the waist, two-pocket (Tupac-it) on the back. Call them Lu-vi's, O. G.'s covered in blue dye. View quote

Thus use your frog...Put your hook through his mouth, and out at his gills;...and then with a fine needle and silk sew the upper part of his leg, with only one stitch, to the arming-wire of your hook; or tie the frog's leg, above the upper joint, to the armed-wire; and in so doing use him as though you loved him.

I had a bike accident a few years ago, and I went to the emergency room, and I had to have a gash sewn up.
