there's no slaughter rule in soccer?
What's a slaughter rule, and which sports have them?
My mother would be a little mollified if I had a PhD. It's something, but not enough. Certainly not mutually exclusive with the babby thing.
We'll be in our bunk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't link to it directly (stupid Javascript link) but if you go to MSNBC [link] and look a screen or two down, on the left at "Week in Video" they have a clip of that Norweigan penguin that just got promoted. The penguin inspects some troops - cute.
(Penguin footage is the last thing on the clip, which is about 2 minutes long.)

Of course, now I have a baby, but not a PhD, which just goes to show, um, I hope nothing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My parents never bothered me about grandkids. His? Err, yeah.
My MiL started an IM conversation with me while I was at work to mention that if we had any problems, it might have been similar to my FiL's "issues". Talk about a conversation I was never meant to have. EVER. Poking my eyes out at work wasn't an option.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
One reason I like having young parents is my mom doesn't want to be a grandmother any time soon. (I'm sure she'd love having grandKIDS, she just doesn't want to be called Grandma. So no pressure.)

Remember a week ago, when Rush Limbaugh said, “Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents, there's nothing about it that's real…”
Now he's denying ever having said that. [link]

Nope, at least not when I was coaching. Plus, no sport would have one at that level. Those are for rec and youth leagues so no one's feelings get hurt.

"I don't need to pull from my experience for a character, and I've never understood why actors would, except for lack of ability, imagination or research," he says. "I had all three things, so this is a little frustrating to me, because it denies my work and the research that I did."
Joaquin Phoenix reacting to the assumption he was drawing on his experience of mourning a brother while filming the Johnny Cash story. Article.
Uh, why wouldn't you? I'm not saying he has to, just that it's odd to not understand why not using the feelings you've experienced to bring a character to life is a valid choice.
