Nice picture, but what’s that orange thing in your hands? Some kind of subliminal message to the unsuspecting surfer-by?

You know, a friend of mine took that pic of me, and I rather liked it… so I actually put it on my (personal) business card.

And, as I should have realized, “What is that ball thing you’re holding?” is always the first question.

I could introduce myself as “Hi, babe, I’m Adam Lasnik III, and I own 4,000 acres of land in the Bahamas, plus several custom-made lamborginis, and I can bench press 713 pounds while reciting Shakespeare.”

And I have no doubt I’d still get “What the heck is that ball thing you’re holding?”

It’s hopeless.

Oh, and for the record… it was a nerf (styrofoam) ball that someone happened to be throwing around the office.  I just thought it felt nice and squishy and looked cool.

Oops.

Oops.

It’s functional. It’s a way to get noticed. You’re the guy with the ball. People will remember you.
