Time for the old Friday Ripoff. Today, we've got a little contest. Hip hip!
Being the kick-ass parents that they are, Keith Daddy and wifey Alena have remodeled their basement from its former use (the "Brendan Consistently Bumps The Back Of His Head On The Bookshelf Above The Couch" Room) and turned it into a playroom for the little monster. Included in this playroom is a kick-ass table made of Legos. I tried to convince Keith to make the entire room of either Legos or Nerf, but he balked. "Fire hazard" or some shit like that - I don't know, he starts up with the "safety concerns blah blah blah" and I sort of tune out.
But the Lego table leads us right into our contest. In honor of our nation's birthday (September 1, 1863 according to Wikipedia), Nate and Keith each built Lego replicas of the Statue of Liberty. So I figured why not turn this into a vicious competition to drive yet another wedge into the already tenuous childhood friendship of these two idiot manchildren?
I won't tell you which Frederic Auguste Bartholdi is which. It's up to you (that's right, you!) to pick the winner and more importantly, the loser. Sounds like fun? No - not so much? Well, tough shit - here we go.
This is Statue of Liberty numero uno:
And this is Statue of Liberty numero dos:
The winner will get a kiss on the forehead from me, while the loser will be pantsed in the town square for public derision. Who's it going to be - Keith or Nate? Come on, Scamper Nation - who do you love more?

Fascinating.
Not a good fight here.
this is tough: #1 obviously hoarded all the blue blocks to get the color right, and made a better foundation (including the borderline metaphoric gates! very nice) but the face looks like a duck, and there's no crown, and frankly no torch either. so i gotta go with #2.

Hey Jonny boy, have you ever seen the Statue of Liberty?
While a great musician and a wonderful guy, Jon Gorey was tragically born colorblind.
Wow - those are both fantastic. I'm going to go with number 1. You know why? Its more patriotic.
Could the next contest be lego eiffel towers?

Why do you hate America, Hogg?
but the face looks like a duck
Haha! My thoughts exactly. When I looked at it, I thought it was Donald Duck.
So if we're voting on the most resemblance to the Statue of Liberty, I'll have to go with #2.
got to go with #2 as well...
The first one is Bert and the second one is Pippi.
I'd say #2 because it looks identical to the real thing. I've been there.

Superlative!

We've got some creative-ass readership here. Well done.
I don't have an opinion on the lego statues, but Keith's basement has some upside-down ass electrical sockets....
#2 has my vote.
I agree that #1 looks far too much like a duckbert (a duck and bert).

Did it ever occur to you that we attached the statues to the ceiling to take those photos?
Because we did.
In the nature of the contest.. I think you should let Jason chose the winner

My apologizes.
Keith's basement has some carpeted-ass ceilings and high-ass electrical outlets.

Jason said: "I like Diggy's better." But for the sake of anonymity, I can't reveal which statue it is.
