(you can feel the excitement in the air!! relaxing music will now be provided) …and the Nominees are! the Wakefield Doctrine’s First Annual Post-writing Contest, Friday the 13th Edition

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )

(Hey!  Alex!!  yo  can we borrow some music? )  CLICK ME

So everyone, try to sit back and relax. The secretly Appointed (secret) Judge is poring over ( as opposed to ‘pouring over’ ) (yum, yum!) each and every one of the Posts!
Every Judgmental tool and instrument is being brought to bear; no expense is being spared in this process.  We gots (your) participle accelerator, (your) tonsil and adverb extractors we have even arranged for a very special and private room just in case there are any (‘specially irregular verbs) that need privacy for a conjugated visit. Don’t anyone worry about nothin.

 

The Nominees for Writer of the best/funniest/cleverest/’how-cool-was-that? Post (using ‘a dead balloon is a dead ballon’ in the Title of) are:

 Progenitor roger
One of the original Progenitors, 1/3 of the namesake of ‘the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers’, (the) roger hails from a small end-urban area in a state often referred to as ‘South Central New England’. His rogerian credentials include: ability to play the 12 string guitar without sounding like 2 mandolins having sex, deliberately (and without having to be threatened with a side arm) engaging in the “Pastime” of Civil War Re-enacting and being heard at a formal Dinner Party to reply to the offer of a second serving, “No, thanks, I think I’ll surpass on that!”

db(2)+ 1.5 ml He = db(2) – 1.5 ml Co2 (a dead balloon is a dead balloon)

 

Jennifer Wilson
One of the first of the second generation of people to come to the Doctrine, read and understand it and not say to us, “…if any of you people even think about trying to contact me again, I will have a restraining Order on you faster than you can say, wtf!” Jennifer is sort of the Fay Wray of the Doctrine, particularly in the context of this blog. Being a scottian female, and writing her own little Post ( “…ha, ha, he said Post!”)  Jennifer has a way of presenting the Wakefield Doctrine that is accessible and readable and the rogers, are drawn to it like rabbits trying to swim out of the Great White Shark Exhibit in Sea World.

What does “a dead balloon is a dead balloon” have to do with Personality Types? Nothing.

 

DS#1
…you know how clarks can be overly-rational, too analytical and emotional-devoid giant brains with little feet and long fingers (to type with)? Well, that is why we are fortunate to have DS#1 ’round here. So a clark, yet with a kindness and humanity that says to all the clarks out there, “hey! you can become as welcomed by the scottian people and embraced into the herd anytime you want! Just learn what I know and you won’t even have to shave half of your damn head”

Through the looking glass where a dead balloon is ( really just ) a dead balloon somewhere over the edge.

 

clark

while, ‘a dead balloon is a dead balloon’ the quality that gives life to the (non-dead) balloons is imperishable and therefore hold(s) out hope to all balloons’ 

 

Molly
Molly is, of course, one the ‘new generation’* of people here at the Doctrine and, as such, brings a certain perspective on our efforts that is quite crucial. In fact, this whole Post-writing Contest is kinda all her fault, lol she is the source of the semi-eponymous phrase that comprises the only requirement of  this first Annual Wakefield Doctrine Post-writing Contest!.

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Wow! I went an read the entries for the contest so far. I really liked them! What I was struck by was how representative of a clark, scott and roger these stories were!!
    That’s all I have for now. Have to go back and read them again and leave a comment:)

  2. AKH says:

    Yeah, funny that one is able to discern whether a clark or a scott or a roger is the author. But after all, this is the Doctrine. How could one not?!!

    Well, I’m not a judge in here. But I’d call it a toss-up between Molly and Girlie. That stuff isn’t just a good post, it’s good literature. Although the ‘death balloon’ thing made a big impression too. Did you ever notice how they look at you all funny when they’re making balloon animals? Now I know why. They’re trying to get my puffy cheeks just right.

    … I am also not the (secret) Judge. What a job it will be to pick the “best/funniest/cleverest/’how-cool-was-that” Post. Can’t wait ’til Tuesday.

    nah, balloon animals have always creeped me out, to me there is a certain…appraising kind of look to those bastards… sort of as if they are rogers barely controlling their inner-scottian aspect.

  5. RCoyne RCoyne says:

    That’s probably indigestion.

  6. Downspring#1 says:

    Thank you RCoyne for including me in your conflict of choice! I found this contest thing quite fun. At the end of course… We clarks like to wait until the last damned minute to do everything and yet can still enjoy ourselves. LOL

    What would a professional balloon artist create if we said “hey, would you create a balloon figure for each of the 3 “personality types”?** You know, a clark, scott and roger?”
    **so who is most likely to be a “balloon artist” – a clark, scott or roger? You saying rogers mr. clarkscottroger?
