Circle waited on the sidelines, to see the outcome of the battle between Lens and Square. It was pulling for Lens in a big way, because It assumed that would make for an easy championship victory. But alas, Circle was to be disappointed to see Its chief rival, Square, win handsomely. These two have been at each other’s throats throughout recorded history, in a struggle for dominance. Square tries to poke Circle every chance It can get, and Circle constantly tries to bounce on Square. It gets ugly. Trust us. Even vicious, at times. The main contention between them is that Circle is by far the dominant shape in the universe, and so it irritates It to no end that Square is by far the dominant shape on Earth (especially if you allow a stretched square—Rectangle—to classify as a square, which Circle does, because there are actually no true circles in the universe, and it needs the compromise).
So it is quite appropriate that it all comes down to these two most classic shapes. We’ve had to keep these two in separate rooms this whole time, because they’d constantly try to kill each other, otherwise. But we are now about to release them onto the same battlefield. So stand back to a safe distance as we begin this final combat:

So, who is the Greatest Shape? You now get to decide. Saturday will be the historic day for shapes everywhere, for that is when the voting will end and the winner will be announced. Submit your vote below, by leaving a comment, and feel free to leave any personal words of encouragement for either shape, or just vicious trash-talk if you’d prefer. But please do not send the Non-Review any sort of weapon to pass along to either shape. Aside from that probably being against the rules, we’d have to get off the couch to so, and we only do that for emergencies. (Like when we need more ice.) We apologize for any inconvenience.
I am going with circle. It is the shape of all that is good and necessary.
ReplyDeleteYa see that chocolate dougnut? Huh? Is there any doubt?
ReplyDeleteCircle gets the square
ReplyDeleteJoe's got a good point, but circles have no points. Brownies are better than donuts.
ReplyDeleteI vote SQUARE.

This is really tough. I think I'm going to have to go with circle though, because it is the shape of most things that really matter, like...
ReplyDelete-wedding rings
-pupils
-pie
-pizza
-cookies
-my papasan chair
-the sun
-the wheel of cheese in my fridge
Good luck to both contenders! :)
Circle. Not because I am Tuscan like Leonardo, just because TIME is spherical, history is spherical, the tummy of a pregnant woman is spherical. My heart is spherical...
ReplyDeleteMother Earth is spherical...
Love & rainbow to your life
mmmm...donuts. But then again, squares have sandwiches. I'm torn, but I gotta go with (Sorry Aunt Gert) circle!
ReplyDeleteWell since I have won every round I have spent some time thinking about the Circle - Square cage match. It really is the least clear-cut of all the contested matches so far.
ReplyDeleteThey both have qualities that could tilt the scale either way. What could make the difference in the outcome?
The NCAA basketball championship game was last night...it was a fantastic game and Butler came so close to biggest upset ever in this arena. The round ball and rim...the square backboard and floor...ahhhhhhhh give me a sign!
No sign came. I flipped a coin. Circle it is!

It has to be circle
I love Ian's comment 'circle gets the square.'
ReplyDeleteWith little thought I vote SQUARE soley on the fact that a tv screen, movie screen and computer screen are all squares. I love movies.
If you get a package from me to square, don't open it.
The Rubiks Cube throws a little weight to the square but I am going to stick with the eternal choice of circle.

Circle! It never ends!
ReplyDeleteSquare is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteI heard that the circle kicks kittens and steals purses from old women....
Oh, and circle voted for Taylor Hicks to beat Katherine McPhee on American Idol....
Circle should be disqualified....
Now that elipses are right out, I think I am going to have to go with the circle, for making my life so much easier.. Hypothetically..
