Horace: I hate listening to people complain! There are those that just start complaining about trivial matters and keep it up. And it feels like the whine goes on and on and on. Sine: And on.

I don’t think I ever noticed that Sine has a “movement trail” behind him that is a Sine on a graph… I’m assuming that was intentional, but only to be caught by math nerds like me… right? :-s

@burleigh2 Yes, that way you can tell it’s Sine, and not just another bird which would fly in an otherwise straight line.

Why is this strip always so late? Every day it’s updated hours later than the others and I have to go to bed and when I get to see it, everyone else has made all the good comments and I have to think extra hard to come up with one to top them, and by that time they’ve all read the comic and probably won’t come back and read my extra smart remarks, so it’s all for nothing…

Why am I always late? Why can’t I stay on schedule? When will I learn? Why me? … I think it’s because the plane is still in Iceland, because it had to turn back, trying to take a party of Swedes to Yugoslavia. Of course it loads you up there at 3 a.m. in the morning. And then you sit on the tarmac for four hours because of unforeseen difficulties, i.e. the permanent strike of air traffic control over Paris. When you finally get to Malaga airport, everybody’s queueing for the bloody toilet, and queueing for the bloody half-customs officers, and queueing for the bloody bus that isn’t there, waiting to take you to the hotel that hasn’t yet been built. When you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel Limassol, while paying half the holiday money to a license Spaniard in a taxi, there’s no water in the pool, there’s no water in the bath, there’s no water in the tap, there’s only a bleeding lizard in the bidet, and half the rooms are doublebooked, and you can’t sleep anyway, ’cause the permanent are in the jungles in the hotel next door. Meanwhile, the Spanish National Tourist Board promises that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a mild outbreak of the Spanish Conleigh, rather like the previous outbreak in 1616, even the bloody rats are dying from it(From Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl)

And worse, it’s trivial.++++++++Grammar rule 65: Avoid those run-on sentences that just go on, and on, and on, and never stop; they just keep rambling and babbling on, and you really wish the person would just shut up, or edit his work, but no, they just keep going, they’re far worse than the Energizer Bunny; they prattle incessantly and just never stop, they go on forever, infinitely irritating anyone who reads them, if you get my drift—and just when you think they have made their point, they start up all over again and repeat themselves in words that are nearly the same, making the same point in as many different ways as possible but never saying anything new—in fact, they could use a quarter or less of the words to make their point, but no, they just repeat themselves again and again, going on and on and on until you are ready to choke them so they won’t have any breath to speak, because they are so exasperating and Just Won’t Quit!
