ORIGINAL: Terminus That, of course, is why the mytical 1.8 patch is so late. The developers are all sitting around in padded little rooms, wearing very long-sleeved white jackets, painting on the walls with their feet and drooling like sheepdogs... (how's that for a run-on sentence?) I am decidely underwhelmed. If one, guaging the time to be appropriate, should actually endeavor to create that wonder of the English language called a "run-on sentence", several different parameters must be decisively engaged in the process of creating the aforementioned "run-on sentence", the exclusion of which would be extremely deliterious to the actual accomplishent of the fore-stated goal, namely the "run-on sentence", which of course must seem to ramble on forever without actually making a point which can be discerned by anyone with an sembleance of an absolute certainty, while, at the same time continuing the explicative effort around said non-existent point without yielding to the always ubiquitous predilection which reigns in those who are enamoured intellectually, or otherwise, with the weaving of the language, toward the pomposity which is always and everywhere concommitant with such an exquisite endeavor, and is, naturally, the omnipresent hazard of all of those whose goal in life it to push the bounds of expression in the English language, which, of course, finds its impetus in the inherent human propensity to communicate, sometimes exhaustively, from the depths of our being those thoughts, which though entirely valid to ourselves may, in themselves, not be germane to any other living homo sapiens currently living on terra, yet which drive us to this goal of completly illucid and utterly inconsequential verbosity whichs seems to be to the unitiated simply interminable, and which, to those of the cogniscenti, is an art form in itself, sublime and without superior, except for those whose life is devoted to the ultimate excercise of that most honorable form of human communication in any language - the pun. That is the beginning of a run-on sentence.
