Have any of our lawyers or librarians or others done immigration work?
I think Stephanie does something related -- but you might try reposting the question in bitches, what with Frisco's effect on her posting time.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks Amych!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The one ultrasound I recall having was borderline painful, but that owed more to the technician pressing a piece of plastic right between hip and thigh where I'd caught myself with a table corner than to the actual ultrasonic waves.
The standard thinking these days is that Metropolis is NYC. Gotham is in Jersey.
Gotham may be geographically located in New Jersey. I think in a metaphorical sense, it was definitely based on New York City, and Metropolis probably owes mostly to early 20th century NYC as well although the newspaper setting is probably Chicago-inspired.

The status is NOT quo.
I've had a number of different types of ultrasound and never had any pain. Just goop.

Grammar question:
Is it "Department staff maintain..." or "Department staff maintains..."? The former looks right to me, but Word's grammar checker is disagreeing.

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 say the first looks right. The second seems to me would only be right if there is a monolithic entity called "Department Staff."

Unless they won't let you--like those bastards at NY Methodist!
That must vary by department, because I saw all of mine. I have the printouts on my desk right now, AIFG!

Oh I'm sure they let you if you are pregnant, that's why that "legal" talk was all bullshit. And actually, I understand the whole "we don't want to scare the shit out of you" argument. But persisting when I clearly knew what the hell was going on? Annoying.

Oh, ugh--I just looked at my flight itinerary for tomorrow closely, and noticed that the plane I'm supposed to take on American is one of those MD-80s that are being inspected right now. From their website, it looks like the flight is still scheduled, but that might change by tomorrow. I hate possible flight cancellation!
