Still don’t know how I got in: when I was 19 I looked like I was 15. I’m deliberately not giving any context to this, by the way. You’ll just have to read the article:
At the time, Goldin said it was the men and women of NASA who ordered the return of the old insignia. But there was also the fact that he hated the worm logo. According to Barry, his disdain was so notorious that staff at NASA centers would go on “worm purges” in preparation of his visits.
The administrator simply did not want to see it, period,” said Ted Huetter, a space historian who worked at NASA during the Goldin era. “That seemed reasonable at first, but then it just got a little weirder, to the point that there would be a scramble to make sure that his path was not going to intersect any worm.”

PS: You’re probably trying to remember this:
I have to agree with the guy.
The worm logo is not inspiring. Or even very memorable.
I like the meatball better myself. But, hey, ‘worm purges’ is a great phrase.
It certainly is. Good assonance, short and punchy, drop the plural and in some accents it’s verging on slant rhyme.
