Lego is a toy, a wonderful, whimsical, readymade way to create things. And so, I've designed this actual sized travel chess, in Lego. It's contemporary art, built from recycled Lego, each set is unique and made to be permanent. The Lego has been welded together to form a board table and independent chess pieces. The game pieces are all stored inside the board table. The pieces use Lego technology to defy gravity, sticking them to the board. Play chess like Kasparov. Play on trains and in automobiles, space shuttle cruises and trips to the moon. Anytime, anywhere, the game is yours.-Copy Cats are Dirty Rats

Neato! You're a lego man alright :D Lego innovator.
Duchamp ain't no chump
but crushed the decoys
put the spin on the suckas
just like a b-boy
with those spinning toys
he left optical pleasure
packed salons all
rocked beyond measure
with his ready-mades
made the high court cower
used art as a weapon
and took away the power
The big wigs flipped
and all the suckas choke
repped with G. Grosz
repped with Hannah Høch
with his all-star crew
brought 'descending #2
So tell me Rob-C
How they different from you?
or different from me?
rejecting the Guv,
it's all love
hey-yo
check this on out
when the dogma bit
It left nothing but a stigma
art's for the elite
now cop that enigma
With his Dada crew
he laid down the ground work
controlled the enterprise
just like Captain Kirk
You can't flex on Marcel
he had arsenal
turned them on their heads
like that urinal, it was final
made all the heads
rotate like vinyl!
word...
(ya heard?!)
That's some inspired couplets
Mr Hobo Divine. Purely delicious.
Suffice to say, that in dissing the late Mr. Duchamp, I've not been entirely fair. It's the institution-
alization of Dada, found as the base of contemporary art, which is toy.
Context is not everything.
Form and content are of equal importance.

I agree,
let's make pax my friend.
