I'm trying to decide whether or not the whole concept of a "legacy" here is laughable. I doubt that there are too many of us who would be given a second thought should we "mysteriously" disappear.
YOUR LEGACY IS GETTING YOUR ASS KICKED BY ME. (on a regular basis, I must add)

I admire your modern art interpretation of the presence of all light. It is filled with hope. ;)

::sigh::
Oops! My comment is longer than you're post. I hate when I do that!
But I won't!! :)
With that out of the way, I want to thank CrazeCzar for reminding me of what some modern artists sometimes do. I have seen several "pieces" that look like Ms. Surly's legacy. But the one that takes the cake is "Soft Wall," by Robert Irwin. It was part of the show "SoCal: Southern California Art of the 1960s and 70s from LACMA's Collection" but was originally created for another installation. Here is a description of it (from http://www.caroldiehl.com/WRITINGS/Writing_features/7.htm):
The piece was titled "Soft Wall" and consisted of a length of scrim stretched floor to ceiling about 12 inches in front of the far wall of the gallery. Glimcher, who now calls Irwin "the most important influence on my esthetic," remembers it fondly. He says, "The room was lit in an even way, and the scrim only infinitesimally more. When you walked into the space and gave it the time required--the way an Ad Reinhardt requires time--suddenly you noticed one of the walls was out of focus, almost as if it were snowing in front of it.[3] Irwin recalls that "ninety per cent of the people who walked in thought it was an empty room. But there was a presence there, nothing you could put your finger on, yet if you gave it enough time you could figure it out. In that way it could have been the definitive scrim, and it was done a long time ago."'
My daughter, the art history major, hated it. Oh, well, genius is oftentimes misunderstood... :-)
(Sorry for not using italics and embedded links. If someone can point me to a tutorial, I'd appreciate it.)
I promise to credit you properly, surly.
Well, similar anyway. I was going to post "20 Years on OS: A Look Back".
Then literally paste in all my posts.
It is nonetheless a good clean space on which we can frolick in our imaginations!

Repent, you no talent bitch!
It's in jest, it's in jest.... just in case.
Please go to ER @ K-Street and 5th Ave.
Legacy? You need to get EP for 2 X 6 legs.
The feeling's mutual but I can't quite reach
Thankyou surly, not that you meant it.
Scoubidou is back, and the thylacine is his avatar. That's what reminded me. And here we have the opportunity to open the whole thing up.
It's an interesting arrangement, for the following reasons :
It's a marsupial carnivore,
and it's extinct. They lived in Tasmania.
As you'd see from scoubi's avatar, they had a weirdly wide mouthspan. Apparently it ate everything.
If it were alive today, it would probably come at last tuesday's rice ring, for example.
I'm feeling a little sleepy, so I won't go on much longer, if that's ok.
In fact I'll wrap up by saying scoubi and welles are like you and rice rings, like thylacines and whatever is about to happen here tomorrow.
Your legacy will endure, isn't it.
Except Tuesdays probably.
