SHAREWARE FOR YOUR BRAIN!

Mullings is going Shareware - with a twist.

In order to keep Mullings going - actually, to prevent me from having to
go to work - we (The Lad, The Director of Standards and Practices,
and me) are pleased to offer …

                   A Subscription Service to Mullings!

Be a part of the Mullings Movement. Help irritate the bad guys. Help
bolster the good guys. And, you can steal the material and sound funny
and/or smart three times a week.

It will only cost you $15. And that's for the whole year!

If you do the arithmetic, that works out to a little less than a dime
per issue. And there is nothing else left in the entire United States which
you can buy for a dime. When was the last time, for instance, you went to
the five & dime, to pick up some notions?

In fact, when was the last time you (a) heard of a five & dime, or (b)
read the word "notions" used in this context?

This is the kind of frontal lobe stimulation you can help sustain with this very
modestly priced, wholly voluntary, subscription

Oh, my God. This is beginning to sound like NPR during pledge week.

Reality check: In the off-year (non-election years except for Virginia, New Jersey
and a couple of other places), fewer sponsors are ready to begin marketing to
campaigns than there are in the even-numbered or "on"-year. In order to pay for the
day-to-day expenses of running the Mullings site, travel to present the popular
Mullings-on-the-road features, and the other adventures which create content, this
subscription plan is being instituted.

                   Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Just what is the "Mullings Movement?"
     - It's a collection of like-minded people
       who would otherwise waste the fifteen dollars
       on imported beer trying to impress someone
       sitting three seats down at the bar who doesn't
       know you exist, doesn't care if you exist,
       and wouldn't go home with you even if yours was
       the last house on Earth and the ice age was right
       outside the door.

  • Will there be anything extra for those who subscribe?
     - Probably. But, if I wanted to work a lot harder,
       I'd get a job. Here's a good project for you do do and
       report to the whole class: What additional content
       would you like to see for your $15?

  • What if I don't want to subscribe?
     - It costs you nothing. You'll still receive your
       three-times-a-week collection of chuckles, insights,
       factual errors and modestly annoying ads.

  • Just how many issues were there last year?
     - 166. Which works out to about 116,000 words - the
       size of an average novel. As Mullings is mostly a
       work of fiction, this comparison has some currency.

  • I run an association and we'd like to help out. Can we purchase
    a site subscription?
     - You bet. Send me an e-mail (rich@mullings.com) and I'll
       send along an invoice.

    PS. It's also a great gift idea for that Democratic colleague who refuses to take down his
    Gore/Lieberman sign! If that's not worth $15, I don't know what is.
