So, I can cause this to pass just by changing the Bulk trigger value from 200 to like, 10. What I would PREFER to do, is just run an if statement for the SOQL variables that says "if this variable already exists, don't run this query for it." If I just test for whether the variable is 'null', it'll just say that the variable doesn't exist. Well shoot, THAT'S what I'd like to test for, then! If it doesn't exist, do a thing! Or, will that not solve my governor limit problem?

Any ideas?
