Do check out those movies I clipped. Fascinating Art.

btw, Strandbeest is dutch for "beach-animal" or "beach-beast"

Wow, I wasn't even a clipper back then.
Btw, it was your fourth clip ever.
Here comes the pop.

Ah, of course, the calendar. I always forget about the calendar.

It's weird when old clips get popped. Back then, POPs didn't even exist and comments didn't bring clips to the top, so just being on the front page was excitement enough. Old clips couldn't even have dreamt of being POPped so now they hardly know what's going on and are just hanging on for the ride.
