Choose your membership level

 

 

 

 

Congratulations. 

Wow!

You have found the very secret and super valuable Clerkmanifesto Membership Page!

By the mere fortune and miracle of finding this hidden page you are now eligible to choose your membership level at clerkmanifesto. There is nothing to sign, no tedious and personal information to fill out, no risks to take, and no responsibility to assume. The costs are extraordinarily low and the rewards are suspiciously high. 

"This sounds like it's some kind of scam." You exclaim.

Yes, I would very much like for it to be a scam, but I'm not very good at scamming people, so these memberships are more like ill-advised free gifts. That's why I hid them so carefully in this super secret page, which you, amazingly, to my surprise, found!

But you can only have one of the following membership levels, so choose wisely:

 

The "I'm here by accident" level 


Good for: 

Those of you who are very confused but think you should stick around just to see about these so called "rewards".


 Cost: 

Hey, wait a second. I thought there weren't any costs!


Membership rewards at this level: 

Nothing you will recognize as such.




The "Groucho Marx" level


Good for:

People who would never be a member of anything that would accept them as a member.

 

Cost:

Being a member of something that would accept you as a member.


Membership rewards at this level:

Immediate revocation of your membership.

 

 

 

 

 

 The "I can't choose" level

 

Good for:

People who have trouble making up their minds.

 

Cost:

You can't choose this level, this level chooses you.

 

Membership rewards at this level:

 Absolutely anything you like! You pick it!

 

 

 

 

The "Newly devoted follower of Clerkmanifesto" level

 

Good for:

People who have found this whole "Choose your membership level" thing very amusing.

 

Cost:

You'll have to read through dozens, perhaps hundreds, of more posts before coming across another post here that you like half as much as this one.

 

Membership rewards at this level:

This is it!

 

 

 

 The "Commenters" level

 

Good for:

People who like to weigh in.

 

Cost:

My long and over enthusiastic response.


Membership rewards at this level:

Gosh, I'd love to hear your opinion on what you think these should be.

 

 

 

The "I'm really not interested" level

 

Good for:

The disinterested.

 

Cost:

You had to make it this far despite your every inclination.

 

Membership rewards at this level:

The most extraordinary, handcrafted, exquisitely... aw, who cares?

  1. I am rather confident in my Commenter's status! Will there be badges? A t-shirt maybe?

    1. T-shirts? Badges? T-shirts with a bunch of badges all over it? Sounds good. We'll form a committee to explore the possibility of putting together a team to explore working on it.

      Thank you for your comment, commenter!

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
