If you had a monument made to represent you, what would it be?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) November 13th, 2014

There is only one rule; it can’t just be a statue of you.
It has to represent you, or something about you. If you like cars, it could be a statue of your favorite car, if you like books, it could be an epic library named after you, if you’re an angry person, it could be a giant fist with a lightning bolt in it. Get it?

For example, my monument would be a zombie Viking hugging a pillow. And it doesn’t have to be a statue. A building, a plaque, a type of tree, I use the word monument lightly.

Something that represents your personality, a part of your life, a passion, can be symbolic, or not so much.

A Mafioso pointing his machine gun to a laptop :p Or the same guy pointing the gun to a bandit while a normal person next to the bandit looks at him in admiration.

I guess an M4 carbine
Maybe a guitar

Biodegradable. A compost pile.

A statue similar to those civil war statues of soldiers, with my favorite .22 rifle cradled in one arm, my .22 pistol holstered on my left hip (right handed holster!) my good old dog sleeping at my feet, and a good medium width brim fedora on my head, looking towards the setting sun!

An 8 ball impaled by a screw while clogging a toilet.

I’d be the blonde Snow White of the farm and forest. A statue of me sitting with multiple critters at my feet. Geese, ducks, cats, little birds and rats perched on my shoulders, horses hanging over me. All creatures great and small Coloma loves them all.

An AA-12gauge

A theater comedy mask. It would be made of mirrors.

A television with all 700 stations.

A potato sitting on a couch, gesturing at a stray cat to get off its lawn.

Me, holding an opened umbrella, to protect the statue from pigeons.

It would resemble a huge pile of papers. It would be meters tall. Something like this but much, much taller.

A 42” diameter bronze chocolate chip cookie.

I read this question several hours a ago, and dismissed my response.

It’s now the same. A 12’ tall roll of toilet paper, recreated in stainless steel. Angel Soft pattern.

I might not have amounted to shit, butt I covered my ass.

@Earthbound_Misfit Is there any room on that plaque for my name, too?

zenvelo's avatar

A giant empty gin bottle, on its side, representing my sobriety.

Here2_4's avatar

A bird sanctuary, with lots of room for many nests.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

Absolutely @dappled_leaves! We should probably go for more than one pile. A collection. That’s my reality. I’m pretty sure it’s yours too.

@Symbeline Mine would be your avatar, except flipping the bird with both hands, with BOC Astronomy playing in the background, then Sweet Emotion, Hell’s Bells, Back in Black, and similar stuff.

ucme's avatar

Maybe one of those giant Easter Island head thingies, sucking on a giant tit with Made in England tattooed across the forehead, yeah, that sounds about right :D

Berserker's avatar

@ucme I’d build that if I was a sculptor. :D

@Adirondackwannabe There’s a shopped pic of my avatar where he’s flipping both birds. But with my device I’m denied the ability to copy paste. :/

ucme's avatar

@Symbeline I’ll be your muse :)

This is my monument. A video of a turkey vulture in flight. The vulture represents my not so good qualities, while the soaring flight represents my better qualities, accompanied by background music of Santana’s Greatest Hits.

jonsblond's avatar

It would be a 5’3” snow woman wearing sunglasses and holding a camera in one stick and a rolling pin in the other.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@jonsblond I’d send you a $50 for that pic.

jonsblond's avatar

It’s a deal. I just need some snow.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Hey, and we have the snow. 19 degrees this am. :) Hang in there lady.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ You have my sympathies.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Ought oh, I’m on the hook for a verbal contract?

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ It will freeze solid before you have the chance to do anything. ;-|

It would be a full nude marble statue of myself in the same scale and pose as Michelangelo’s David with a sling on my shoulder. Only I’d have the artist give me a hilariously large penis—we’re talking 24 inches or thereabouts. I think it would probably be among the most ridiculous things ever made, like the complete anthesis of a platonic ideal.
