Great choice, I don't think I have ever been here.
And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift...

Shouldn't that title read "Living Legendary Poster"?
Don't underestimate the importance of statuary! Perhaps this thread should be permanently headlined. Dr. Brian Osbourne of Queens University (obviously a big brain) explains that statues are important as statements of our culture. They serve the didactic purpose of presenting, in simplified form, who we are as a nation.
However, "who we are" can change over time.
Space is slow and time is fast, explains Osbourne (what a great line! - FC) - so perhaps stuatues should be first built out of "ice cream and candy floss" - then, if they stand the test of time, cast them in bronze.
This may be why Cobie's statue keeps getting destroyed and rebuilt - it is reflecting the evolving consciousness of Legion World.
(I'm rushing right over to my statue now to rebuild it out of ice cream - rather like that idea...)

The Statue of Cobalt Kid, a.k.a. Cobiemandias
I met a poster from another board
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the MMB. Near them in the thread,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose pout
And puckered lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its poster well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Cobalt Kid, king of posters, Double Trapper:
Look on my post count, ye n00bs, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The inane, one-word posts stretch far away.
