So very sad.

Strong Sad occasionally starts a sentence with "I'm sad that...". The original quote is "I'm sad that I'm flying", and each subsequent appearance replaces one word of the original quote ("sad", the second "I'm", or most often "flying") with another word or phrase, sometimes rhyming with the original.
