  Slice-stretching effects are discussed as they arise at the event horizon
when geodesically slicing the extended Schwarzschild black-hole spacetime while
using singularity excision. In particular, for Novikov and isotropic spatial
coordinates the outward movement of the event horizon (``slice sucking'') and
the unbounded growth there of the radial metric component (``slice wrapping'')
are analyzed. For the overall slice stretching, very similar late time behavior
is found when comparing with maximal slicing. Thus, the intuitive argument that
attributes slice stretching to singularity avoidance is incorrect.
