As featured on Mefi back on <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/19113">aug 13, 2002</a> and <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/22139 ">Dec 6, 2002.</a>
Amusingly, the post from Dec 6 mentions it being mentioned before. </a>comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.35857-740611Mon, 27 Sep 2004 07:52:05 -0800warholBy: Blue Stone

I searched for a few different permutations of strandbeest, (which is included in both previous mentions) using both the google and mefi searches, and got back nothing, nada, zip, bubkis. Someone might want to look at that.comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.35857-740626Mon, 27 Sep 2004 08:07:14 -0800Blue StoneBy: cyrusdogstar

Despite the fact that I remembered the original post(s) when reading your FPP, Blue Stone, my immediate reaction wasn't "double post!" but "I remember that, it was wicked cool!".
So hopefully there will be some folk who never saw it back in '02 and will get a chance to look at these crazy things for the first time =)
<small><small>Of course, 'double post!' was my <b>second</b> reaction. But I try not to be mean about it, so...;)</small></small>comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.35857-740637Mon, 27 Sep 2004 08:18:16 -0800cyrusdogstarBy: wsg

Kind of cool stuff, after reading the post I was thinking of the guy from American Beauty who films the plastic bag in the wind but this far, far cooler.
If he hasn't taken these to Burning Man yet then he really needs to make plans to go. Then again, so do I.comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.35857-740648Mon, 27 Sep 2004 08:30:18 -0800fenriqBy: Shane

odd, I simply searched for "strandbeest" and <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/searched.mefi?option=2&search=strandbeest&date=4">found the hits</a>. I did need to change the scope of the search from "the last year" to "since day one".
Ah well. No biggie.comment:www.metafilter.com,2004:site.35857-740885Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:35:58 -0800warholBy: DenOfSizer

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
