So Lebron filed to trademark Taco Tuesday. A brilliant creation by The King. Tuesday is a pretty bleak day. Fresh off the heels of Monday, you’re in the thick of your work week. It’s too early in the week to go out and get trashed. What’s the best was to spice it up? Tacos of course! Plus it has a nice ring because of the double T. It’s amazing no one has thought of it before. I feel like the restaurant business really dropped the ball on that one.
It got me thinking, if I’m LuLu, why stop there? He clearly has a nose for this kind of stuff. I think I can help The King with some new ideas to trademark. Here’s a few I just thought of off the top of my head:
- “Add insult to injury” You use this when a situation goes from bad to worse. Like when your favorite player fails to bring you a championship then bolts to greener pastures with better players. That would stink!
- “Bend Over Backwards” Bending over is tough. Don’t believe me? Go wolf down a 20 piece from McDonalds and try to touch your toes with your knees straight. Now imagine bending over….BACKWARDS! I’d imagine you could apply this phrase to a team that maybe has a superstar they’d like to accommodate. Perhaps you’ve started to build something positive but that superstar doesn’t like some of the guys you brought in so you trade everyone to make that superstar happy. Sure, your locker room chemistry might be as unstable as a three legged stool, but you’ll do what you have to in order to destroy what you’ve worked hard to build for this hypothetical superstar.
- “Monday Motivation” Similar to Taco Tuesday ™* (pending) this slogan has the double M that’s fun and catchy. Mondays are hard. It’s the beginning of the work week and you have to start doing all the things you ignored during the weekend. You have to mingle with your coworkers who look up to you. You have to remake a movie no one wanted you to remake. We all need a little extra motivation, especially on Monday. It’s possible you just want to sit down for a glass of wine to take the edge off. Wait a second….
- “Wine Wednesday” Another alliteration I just thought of myself just now on my own with no help. I know for a fact Bron Bron loves his wine. He loves it so much he’s nice enough to share it with his kids! The King can sit down to a glass of red with his 9th grade son to his left and his 6th grade son to his right and pour the boys a crisp Merlot to get over the hump. Hang on, ~over the hump of the week day~ no, no that stinks. ~it’s big mound day!~ that doesn’t work either. I’ll keep working on it.
Again, those are just a few free ideas I think Lebron should take advantage of. The last thing I want to see is these phrases catch on and go mainstream without Lebron capitalizing on them.
