Do it now, because doing it late is too late. Personally, I’m going with:

“Nothing is carved in stone”

So you’ll have to think of something else. Or steal mine.

Here’s whats on the tombstones of people more famous than you.

From the Baltimore Business Journal:

Though they weren’t invited to “Get In On It” themselves, many Baltimore advertising experts are keen on the city’s new slogan to be unveiled on Wednesday at the Hippodrome.

“Get In On It” is the city’s new tagline developed by San Francisco’s Landor Associates on behalf of the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association. The nine-month, $500,000 branding campaign was met with resistance from some members of the Baltimore advertising community who thought a local agency ought to have been selected to craft the campaign.

Though some advertising executives said that a hasty reading of the tagline might make it easily confused with an invitation to “Get It On,” many thought the slogan was provocative.

Yes, “Get it on” would have been provocative, but then the slogan would have cost 167k per word, which was more than Baltimore had budgeted.

Says Blandor the Imponderable: “B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!, B’more!”

RIM’s BlackBerry has found another perch in the vernacular:

It’s sometimes called “Blackberry thumb,” that pain in the hands and fingers caused by sending too many text messages on tiny keyboard. The source of the pain might be new, but it’s just a different version of an old ailment, repetitive stress injury.

Repetitive motion syndrome on a Treo is still referred to as “hairy Palm”.
