\"sphere\"<\/a>I was doing a little spring cleaning at my office, and I came across a piece of paper with some unrelated notes on it.\u00a0\u00a0 There was something about a meeting, a phone number with no name attached, and then a little note that made me laugh.\u00a0 I said to my coworker Rob, “You know how you often tell me I’m good with words and generally pretty clever?”\u00a0 He agreed.\u00a0 “Well, take a look at this.”\u00a0 I handed him the paper and pointed to the note, but he understandably couldn’t read all of my handwriting so I had to then read it aloud: “Be Here or Be a Sphere – for a gym campaign.”\u00a0 “That’s not bad,” Rob said.\u00a0 “It’s horrible!\u00a0 What are you talking about?\u00a0 Be a sphere?\u00a0 That’s awful!”\u00a0 “You don’t think some gym somewhere is using that slogan?”\u00a0 “I sure hope not,” I said, “because it’s fucking terrible.”\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know why I ever thought that would be a good idea (especially since I don’t work with gym owners who are looking for slogans), but I even put a little star next to it.\u00a0 It’s not catchy, there’s an extra syllable in there that throws the whole thing off, and…it doesn’t really make sense.\u00a0 “Round” makes sense (but doesn’t rhyme), while “sphere” is too extreme,\u00a0a bit confusing, and way over-complicated.\u00a0 Kinda like my retelling of this tale, I suppose.\u00a0 Fine, I can take a hint.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
