Well….lots to cover, not a lot of time*. Changes comin…

Wait!!  I haven’t finished the Post yet…!

This week will see the Wakefield Doctrine sporting a whole new look.  And because of the new look, we should have new features and new ‘functions’ within the blog.  Losing the ‘three column/Post in center/things-you-should-know’ on the sides, in favor of what is called a Magazine Theme, which, as the name implies, is laid out with a number of articles and features.  Really looking forward to the change, with mixture of excitment and dread (hey, I am a clark).  The excitment simply ’cause it will look better, the dread because with a lot of features and articles comes the responsibility of producing lots of content.

Speaking of tee shirts (hey, I can’t decide, is it: t shirt? or tee shirt?) whatever; at the moment we have two sayings for the shirts. “scott: I scream therefore I am” and “the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)” (yeah, real clever, that).  Anyway, need more slogans or saying or whatever the heck they call the words of the front/back. I had one(saying), but had to throw it down on the ground, courtesy of DownSpring Glenn.  We were driving through Wakefield last night, discussing the Doctrine (no!) and got to the topic of the shirts.  I brought up my own personal favorite ( I ♥ Janie Sullivan) and he rightly observed that there was nothing in that statement that refers to or advances the Doctrine. (What he actually said was, “…it doesn’t fuckin say anything about the Doctrine!!”). And, (creator or not), I had to reply, “damn, you’re right”.  Sorry Janie, no t shirt for now.

So get your thinking caps on, binyons.  Send us your suggestions for t shirt sayings.  If your phrase is picked you get a free shirt.  So don’t delay, send in your suggestions.

The biggest advantage (of the new format) is that there will be space on the homepage for articles and features, (…will make sense when you see it), so in the first week or two it will be totally a work in progress.  You know, it has always been the intention here at the Doctrine to make this colarboraty as possible.  Being  the nature of clarks to want to rodneyking everyone in sight, I  want to say, “you got some ideas? you want to do a series of articles? why the hell not?, come on down!”  I’m serious, of course, whatever it is(your idea) must advance the Wakefield Doctrine in it’s progress towards transforming the world and the human experience.  And it would help to have pictures and videos.  I reserve final editorial goddhood, but other than that we welcome any and all ideas.
Hey!  Slovenians!  how about a travel feature?  Speaking for myself, my appreciation of the geography and attendant cultures of (your) part of the world is limited to: “I know!, I know! that’s Italy!!”…”what’s a grecian urn?  7 drachma an hour! lol” and ” nuh uh I ain’t going there! that’s where Dracula be livin…”.  So maybe a little experiencing a different culture might help. (And, as we all know, the Wakefield Doctrine is culture neutral).

So for this Post, we will keep things light and informal (written by a clark?   yeah right)… well lighter and more informaler.  And you know what that meens, don’cho Lucy?

Videos!!!  Hey, where the heck is that janitor character?  Hey, Mr. B!  get us some videos…

and just to keep things eclectic, yo…  here’s something for our less evolved brothers

Ok, time to go for now…got to start trying to get organised.  Don’t forget to send in your suggestions for the tee shirts and (for you more ambitious folks) ideas for features.  So until then,

ahem…cough, cough…

Yes, Miss Sullivan?  Of course…not I did not forget the Wakefield Doctrine that every Post must have…you have? by all means then…

…that old janitor guy,he is soo interesting..(shut up Jimmy)…did you know that he was a classical musician and played in a symphony and everything?  I don’t know…no, don’t think it is polite to ask…must have been pretty awful…no there is nothing wrong with being a janitor…anyway we were talking about the Doctrine and he said he found a video of a real old film…something that kids in high school in the olden days would be forced to watch in something called health class…anyway the Doctrine lesson is simple enough: which is which?

* time, it is totally speeding up, way more than accounted for with normal aging process, more in the future…if there is one…
