Join the Nobody Club

April 6th, 2006 · 8 Comments

Yesterday, I was just a nobody.

Today, thanks to the solidarity of other PR blogging nobodies out there, I’m part of a movement.

Inspired by Andrea "Nobody" Weckerle and with the creative spark of Ike "Nobody" Pigott, the official Nobody Club has been established.

Being a group of obnoxious blogging evangelists and communications pros, we will no doubt bicker for the next month or two about possibly renaming ourselves The Nobody Society, The International Association of Nobodies, and Nobodies Blogging for Transparency.

Other members so far:

You too can be a nobody. We even have a button for posting to your blog or web site.

You Too Can Be a NOBODY


Update:
  There’s now a Nobodies web site Check it out!

    I may be a nobody, but I am my own nobody. And, yet, if I am my own nobody, do I become somebody? To myself, I mean… this is going to require far more thought than I have time for.

    Allan: Even if you technically become a somebody through your affiliation with other nobodies, you can always apply for lifetime nobody status. As the charter member of the club, you can pull some strings.

    My little nobody brain hurts now…okay, I’ll throw out a name: Nobodies On the Net, or NON for short. Truly a name that means nothing :-)

    Sign me up! I may be a “nobody” but my mamma loves me! Everybody’s “nobody” is somebody’s somebody (or something like that.)

    Thanks for making a great point, with humor.

    Youre Nobody Until Somebody

    loves you. Dean Martin. Love Dino, but even as a child, I thought this sounded pretty limiting, not to mention depressing. Lets all retire to a hot bath with a rusty razor blade now and get it over with.
