Too bad the indeed-great styling of the text on this website doesn't carry over when I clip it — it's severely gemful! I recommend this as a must-read for all avid clippers, especially since we can relate when we go about our bite-sized rounds!

Lots of fun, and the article itself is appropriately short.
