Here's A Picture Of An Awesome Lego Sculpture


Discussion Questions:
-Is this the most awesome Lego sculpture ever, even when taking into account the existence of Lego Batman?
-Upon seeing this, can you now die with no regrets, secure in the knowledge that you've lived a full, rich life?
-Why yellow?
-Can we all just assume that this thing comes to life at night and kills people?
-Anyone else creeped out by his Lego guts? Because they're giving me a case of the willies like you wouldn't believe.
NOTE: The person with the most correct answers is clearly the best among our ranks. Therefore, he or she will be elected Ruler For Life.
Check out the CNN (of all places) for more crazy Lego-ness.

yes, but only if that cape is not made of legos. if it is, then no, it is the second best lego sculpture.

yes.

because it is scarier that way.

the gaping hole in the chest is giving me goosepimples.

Jew - there's no way that cape is made of Legos, it's too fluid. But that is pretty freaking awesome.

-That is a pretty freaking awesome Lego sculpture. Most awesome ever? I dunno, I'd have to see more to compare it with. It's up there though, I'd say at least top 10, if not top 5.

-Eh, not so much.

-Maybe that's the only color the sculptor could find enough pieces of the required sizes in? Or maybe he's color blind and thought it was red.

-I'd have to say definitely yes. Made even creepier by the fact that it has no legs, and therefore has to drag itself along the floor, scraping along with its yellow innards dragging behind. *shudder*

-If you squint at them just so, they kinda look like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Mmmm, yummy!

I did make a mean two story house once, but that might have been the preschool duplo blocks so I am disqualified so the answer is yes

-Upon seeing this, can you now die with no regrets, secure in the knowledge that you've lived a full, rich life?

No, I want to check out this new live action Star Wars TV series I keep hearing about first. If that's not very good then possibly after Indiana Jones 4 comes out.

-Why yellow?

Well my first reaction was that this was a lego Kal-El (superman to the layman) and he was tearing away his Clark Kent Suit to reveal the "S" but this time in his haste he tore to deap and look what happened. He turned yellow from embarrasment (the color of embarrasment on Krypton).

-Can we all just assume that this thing comes to life at night and kills people?

Not if my Kal-El theroy is correct

-Anyone else creeped out by his Lego guts?

Yeah, but only because it would be like me ripping open my chest skin to only have more skin fall out of my chest.

Jew... Yeah, sadly, I think the cape is an actual cape. Which makes Lego Batman just a little Lego Lame.

Lioux... I was told never to eat Legos, even if they are made of delicious waffle.

Giggleloop... Seriously, I think this might be the last thing I see before I die.

Midwesterner... I'm thinking you might be the Ruler For Life, if for nothing else than your comment's abundance of Superman references.

Where are his legs?

Short answer: Hell. For the long answer to make any sense, I'm going to need a Bible and about 45 minutes.

Your little 'discussion' posts totally remind me of this program I was in in elementary school.

I think this Lego Escher is pretty groovy.

I totally want to buy some Legos now. Or as I like to call it, Stocken Blocken.

Um... are you talking about Special Ed?

Blogger Big Daddy said...

Ha!

Sorta.

I was special. In fact, 'gifted and talented' was what they called it.

I was ahead of the other kids in my class, and got bored easily, so I and other 'special' kids got to go to a special teacher and learn abstract stuff.

ok, THIS is the thing that was waiting to grab my ankles when I wanted to get out of bed at night to pee! I am ninety percent sure! Can you please send a copy of this to my parents and also to that special doctor they had me go talk to every Saturday between ages 4 and 18? thanks!!!

Scary innards guy aside, there are few things as painful in life as stepping on a damn Lego block in your bare feet. Good lord. I imagine that must be what it feels like for you dudes when you get kicked in the nards. Or at least somewhat close. Amirite?

Ah! Maybe it is a sculpture of Superman, as imagined by '60s pop idol Donovan. Get it? Sunshine Superman.. heh... yeah.

Yes, yes, because he could, yes, no comment, I win.

This post just makes me feel inadequate. I think back on my time playing with legos and realize what a fraud I was. How pathetic was I as a little kid thinking I was making stuff with legos. I suck.

- Superman could kick Batman's ass.
- I didn't realize I needed to see this before I died, but now that I have I do feel fulfilled.
- Because yellow is always left over in the bucket. I was always a fan of the blue and reds.
- Yes. Yes we can.
- I can't take my eyes off...

Big Daddy... I see; I was in a program sort of like that, but it was more focused on getting me to stop eating paste.

Stewpid... Be happy to... (rips off mask) PIGEON!!! Haunted carnival, meddling kids, etc.

Giggleloop... Not even close. A shot to the balls is the most painful thing that can happen to a human body outside of a bone break. Also, I know this dude from England who is OBSESSED with Donovon. Ergo, your joke made me laugh.

David... You have to show your work!

Bill from Gainsville... First off, welcome to ZFS! Love your commentin' on Midwesterner's site. Secondly, don't feel inadequate; the guy who made this is clearly some sort of Lego savant, with all that implies. It's like being bummed because you can't dunk like Michael Jordan, but with little pieces of connectable plastic.

Todd... Superman would DESTROY Batman.

I was proving I could be a decisive leader. Who need to explain when you become Ruler for Life. I would also say that Gout is the most painful thing the human body has ever endured. Try it one time and you will agree.

Blogger Clinton said...

I'm going to go ahead and say "no thanks" to your offer of trying some gout. Rickets, maybe. But no gout.

I don't know about gout, but my husband had shingles once. Good lord, it was painful for me to deal with his shingles, I can't imagine what it must have been like for him.

Glad I could make you laugh - although you can really thank XM, as I was listening to the 60's channel while posting and that song came on, ergo funny. :)

There's a life-size Lego sculpture of Chewbacca at FAO Schwartz.

I had shingles this Spring. Like a couple weeks ago. Is there some shingle epidemic in STL? It wasn't that much fun, but gout would probably suck worse. I think the worst torture known to man, though, has go to be dinner at my mom's.

ps I was also feeling inadequate about the stupid Lego hospitals and stuff I made but then I realized that Lego doesn't come up a lot in adult life, so I felt better. I've failed at MUCH more important things. Phew.

I'm just mad about saffron.

Blogger Clinton said...

Giggleloop... I didn't think people actually got "the shingles" anymore.

Colleen... Well I know what I'm doing on my lunch break.

Stewpid... Apparently, though, I was wrong.

Big Daddy... Yeah well, Saffron's just mad about me. So suck it.

I don't know...that lego batman is pretty awesome. But this is pretty amazing too...

And yes, I am rather creeped out by the lego guts...

It was supposedly stress-related. His grandpa had it a couple times too, forever ago, so maybe it was hereditary? I can't remember now, but I think shingles is another type of the herpes virus, like chicken pox. Basically it's a really painful nerve infection. He was miserable. But it went away and never came back, thank god.

And isn't that just great conversation?! :D
