Overboard by Chip Dunham for November 10, 2012

“You can’t fool Mother Nature”, . . . And so the light dusting snowflakes will get their revenge by ratcheting up a Nor’Easter!

You could set course for Australia, Nate, otherwise you’ll be California Dreamin’ for the next 5 months.

Good Morning, Crew!

Good Morning Crew,It’s true ! It’s true ! Snowflakes do have thoughts.Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S,and for tomorrow Happy Veterans Day and for our Canadian Cousins Happy Remembrance Day. Thank-you for your sacrifice and Great Courage through out the years.Instigator20

Not that I particularly want to get into the grammatical issue, but, from Dictionary.com:

“Usage note Although sometimes criticized as redundant on the grounds that “from” is implied by the word whence, the idiom from whence is old in the language, well established, and standard. Among its users are the King James Bible, Shakespeare, Dryden, and Dickens: Hilary finally settled in Paris, from whence she bombarded us with letters, postcards, and sketches. From thence, a parallel construction, occurs infrequently.”

“Hater?” Be careful snowflake. I’ll turn the blow torch on you and your little friends!

Good morning Crew!

Wouldn’t “where you came” be better anyway?

Still, I won’t criticize, he’s got the right sentiment.

Why harping on grammar is important, from someone no comics or cartoon fan will argue with:

"I think you must learn – if you’re in any filmmaking – you must respect the single frame. And there are twenty-four of those per second. If you don’t respect that single frame you’re in the same boat with a writer who does not respect a sentence or a phrase or a single letter or whatever. You have to find the smallest unit and you have to love it and believe that one will make a difference. One frame to me will make the difference between whether the thing’s funny or not.”— Chuck Jones

good morning crew.happy, happy, happy.whence?how do you spell that?i honestly dont care whence, from whence came from.

For whence I agree with you!

Allan Long and cold for you maybe! I have my blow torch!

Whether the grammar’s right or wrong, I’m with Nate on this one.

Good Evening, Crew.

Sir Walter Scott used “from whence” in the following:Breathes There The ManBy Sir Walter Scott

Breathes there the man with soul so deadWho never to himself hath said,This is my own, my native land!Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned,As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand?If such there breathe, go, mark him well;For him no minstrel raptures swell;High though his titles, proud his name,Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,Despite those titles, power, and pelf,The wretch, concentred all in self,Living, shall forfeit fair renown,And, doubly dying, shall go downTo the vile dust from whence he sprung,Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

From whence cometh the grammer police? Heigh thee to a nunnery, I say, and be gone.

Sheesh. I think it is hilarious that these snowflakes all THINK alike, even if they don’t LOOK alike. Whither do they go, and whence are they from? And I hope this is alright, as I am not about to look up the usage of these words tonight. You get my drift. SNOW drift, that is.
