When you're down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

[tapu]

One time, to distract myself from thinking about my downer, I made a spider out of 100 of those black binder clips with the wire pinchee on each side, you know? Like in offices?

I started with 4 large clips hooked together to make the central mass (body), and then I splayed out eight legs by clipping more clips, first same size and then progressively smaller, to each clip before it.

I didn't put just one clip on the clip before; instead, I clipped one on each of the two pinchees on the previous binder clip. (This is key.) It made, like, long, hairy-looking spider legs. I can make one again and take a picture of it in case you want to make your own.
