Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Statue of the Legendary Poster known as Cobalt Kid

Hmmm ... I wonder if Cobie is going to mind having a piercing there ...

ing classic threads is fun

The original statue and still the greatest

It's fun to look back at old threads and chuckle at posts made under accounts that had different names at the time.

The tourists aren't stopping by Cobie's statue as often as they used to. Legion World NEEDS tourist dollars!

Maybe putting Orlando Bloom's head on the statue would get some of the tourists back.

It wouldn't be the first time the lovely and talented Mr. Bloom graced a statue.

I just thought I should clarify something; I didn't mean Orlando Bloom's ACTUAL head.

Rocky, is the ice sculpture of Orlando Bloom still around, or has it turned into an Orlando Bloom slushee?

Because if it's still around, we can use THAT to draw in the tourists, and then put Jake Gyllenhaal's head on Cobie's statue.

It's a win-win!

Good question. It was on Earth-4, which the Evil Emperor Pyngwyn has since turned into an ice world, but that was much later. Of course, I can always make another ice sculpture. Perhaps of Mssrs. Bloom, Gyllenhaal and Cobalt together?

Rocky, you're truly inspired! So, essentially a statue of Cobie, Jake and Orlando would be like this -



- but a little bit different. The tourists would be throwing money at us hand over fist!

Yes. That's about the right pose. I don't think they should be wearing their hair up, though. Not too long, either, or it may cover things that oughtn't to be covered. Now who gets to be the one in the middle?

Naturally, I would be front & center

<looks at Cobie statue>

Damn, I love him like my brother, but that statue NEVER gets to be less of an eyesore! Might have to look into legal about that....

<scribbles a note on his Omnicom>

Many LW posters do not realize there are five official Cobalt Kid statues & threads and several unofficial ones spread throughout Legion World.

When Legion World needed a hero, I was there. And I always will be.

<startled>

Damn! It TALKS?!?! Grife, does it have a motion sensor or a string in the back?!?

You should see what it does around females!

Quoth the Rhino: *GASP!*

What's all this fuss about a fancy bidet? Is it because of where the water comes out? 'Cause I'm totally over that. Sure, the first time is a bit startling, but Cobie's "statue" knows its way around Uranus!

Is'at stupid statue all dirty again? *HIC*

I suppose I'll get around to cleaning it one a these days... *HIC*

Mebbie Tomorra... *HIC*

Rereading this thread was fun!

Random Statue of Cobalt Kid fact: in early 2004 to play a joke on me, moderator Stu moved the thread to the Science Police Forum; Gary moved it back. But when he did so, he created a duplicate copy of the statue thread by accident. So of the original thread "The Statue of the Legendary Poster known as Cobalt Kid" actually has become two threads! And then both kind of went on their own with their own set of posts over the last 7 years, though this one has remained the main thread. So Stu's joke created another Statue of Cobalt Kid!

Of course, longtime Legion Worlders remember that in addition to this thread there was the Second Great Statute of the Legendary Poster known as Cobalt Kid created by Pagan Lass during one of the most fun eras of LMB in-character shenanigans ever, as well as Third Great Statue of Cobalt Kid which was hilariously locked by Lash during the 'win a chance to have a thread headlined week' in Fall 2004.

During this period of immense statue building (before the controversy), Founder\'s Park was created which contains a 4th Cobalt Kid Statue (you can note the slight outrage at this in the opening posts).

There is an additional statue hidden from public view at the Psyonian Embassy for Cobalt Kid's role in the helping Psyonia in the Ggrrgg/Psyonia War, but you'll have to ask Crujeckie about that. This would be the fifth or sixth depending on where you place the duplicate statue created by the thread convergence mentioned earlier.

Yes, Legion World sure does love its greatest and most legendary hero! This doesn't even go into the statues of bidets and Michael Jackson Pov put up all over Legion World to distract the masses.

Jeepers! Abin, you could look like you could use a trip to Cafe Cramer!

I believe you're right, Cobalt Kid. He just had a conversation with Pov's butt.

Why? *HIC* Has Cramey sharted spikin' th' coffee? *HIC*

Wazzat his butt r his head? I kin never tell... *HIC*

No fault of his own... I'm often told I'm talking out it.

I think Cobie's ego hasn't been massaged nearly enough lately, so we need to erect yet another statue in his honor. Since it's wintertime, I'll be glad to make another ice sculpture. Would twenty meters tall be big enough?
