8. Give up, ask for drugs.

Heh.

Or there's my shorter version, which is delay going to the hospital until this ep of Party Down you've been watching on Netflix is over and then by the time you get there and have filled out all the paperwork for an epidural it will be too late to actually get one.

It sounds to me like we're getting kicked out. Which amounts to the same thing.

Yeah, when the Iraqis refused to extend the legal coverage the troops have for anything they do, I figured we'd be outta there soon.

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

Your link is broken, Tom. You're missing the httpery.

Man, I hate talking to people that don't understand me. What's up with them? Why can't they read my mind? Why did I type "minds" initially?

We will have a huge staff for embassy in Iraq, far larger than a traditional diplomatic staff, many of whom will carry guns. Still means most of the troops will be out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh god don't read the comments x100000. The amount of bullshit pseudoscientific CRAP that women are told about childbirth is just unbelievable.

So true. Although maybe I'm just saying that because I didn't have that magical experience of falling asleep to the gentle rhythmic ache of labor, and waking up an hour later to the sounds of my newborn baby, who popped out on her own (oh, the little overachiever!), cooing gently at my side. Of course, had I been, I'd probably be mildly envious of the women who actually manage to acheive orgasm during childbirth.

Because books.

I'd really have to see that one to believe it, Burrell.

SERIOUSLY.

I just hope the people considering water births are reading the comments that mention The Pooping and will put two and two together before they actually subject their newborn child to taking their first breath underwater in a tub swimming with fecal matter. Sorry, should I have whitefonted that?

That could make for one hell of a kink.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Whoa, there's cell-phone video of Gaddafi being beaten bloody by the crowd, and dragged, shirtless and barely conscious right before they shot him in the face.

Reminds me of Ceausescu's end.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow! And I thought the burst of energy and euphoria after the fact was pretty cool. I was very surprised to see how I was sound asleep between contractions on the video. Who knew? Alas, no surprise orgasms.

It sounds to me like we're getting kicked out. Which amounts to the same thing.

Yeah, that is what it sounded like to me too. But still a fan of it happening.
