Lucille is well known at Zappos. It’s not because she wears a nametag. It’s because she’s literally made of them.
‘Lucille’ is the wad of nametags that greets visitors to Zappos in Las Vegas. She started out small, but as you can see by this photo, she’s currently the size of a large medicine ball. She’s comprised of thousands of name tags.
Lucille is reminiscent of a Japanese PlayStation game called Katamari Damacy (the name roughly translates to clump spirit). The game’s plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations, and Moon, which were accidentally destroyed by his father, the King of All Cosmos. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a katamari around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to people to mountains, until the ball has grown great enough to become a star.
Swearing too-often out of habit or frustration, is a bad idea. It lessens the impact of a well-thought out cuss word when you really need it.
