I hope you're not implying anything about the Grant. Not that he requested the memorial in the first place, having been writing his memoirs in his final days.
Also, chocobos.

You don't have to be wealthy to want one, just to get one. :(
I want a pyramid...
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I most certainly am not implying anything about the Grant.

I want an enormous equestrian statue of myself. But not the standard type, I want to be carrying the horse on my shoulders, to confuse the hell out of future archaeologists.

Quick. Get a degree in archaeology, I'll wait. It'll be worth it to complete my goal while still alive.

What is the symbolism of a man carrying a horse on his shoulders...?

Indeed. That is a good idea. Let's build a giant gothic pyramid decorated with social realistic drawings but all done in a Goyesque baroque dark color and theme. Embellish it with gothic ornamentation and statues of men carrying horses. All this done entirely in cubism. Like a giant rendition of the Guernica in 3D expanding and dominating the landscape. Scarring little children and blotting out the sun at certain times of day.

If I were a script writer, I would steal that idea.

I can just picture archaeologists thousands of years from now, trying to discern just what the hell this was meant for. It's perfect!

Now just the one. And the prosthetic ball I guess. I wonder if it just sits there, or does anything. Like, maybe it has some LEDs in it and gradually blends between colors. Worst/best nightlight ever.

I once read a poem about that.

There once was a man from Belfast
Whose balls were constructed of brass
In stormy weather they'd clang together
And lightning shot out of his ass.

I wonder if you could make one that works like those christmas lights that play music when you turn them on.
