hey, whatever

July 21, 2010 By

“hey, whatever” indeed.

(Sure, don’t worry…I’ll get serious)
(…after all we wouldn’t want anyone to get: bored, puzzled,confused,dismayed,disappointed,displaced or dislocated, now would we?)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) the website with a difference! (one of many drawbacks of typing is the serious cutback on the sarcasm thing, don’t even bother).
Today is Wednesday, so it is the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!! day. (oh fuckin boy yippee).
The subject today is Animal Shows.  The contenders are: the Doggie Whispererer, Whale Bores, Mutual of Omahomo, and Dogs101(…”humans really suck”).  The object of and goal of the Good the Bad… is to look to the current culture for examples of clarks, scotts and rogers.  Given that we are looking to the entertainment media we are assured of finding some generously exaggerated examples.  This way, for Readers not yet sure of their ability to identify the three out there in their own worlds, we can say:  this is a clark or scott or roger.  It will help (’cause all Readers are so capable).

Everything else in this Post and the entire damn blog is simply more information on the characteristics of the three types and some background theory of how they interact and how to predict future behavior.  And given the volume of Comments being written by Readers, that aspect is so sought after by Readers.
Also there is at least one music video and a couple of photos with each of these Posts here.
The goal of all this?  We are looking to hear some indication that the Wakefield Doctrine has ‘taken root’ out there in the world, in the culture, down the street. We are waiting for the day that someone that we (Progenitors and DownSprings alike) have never had direct contact with, be overheard saying, “he is such a roger” or “don’t be such a clark” or even, “she’s not too scottian, huh?”  That is the point, the reason for these seemingly never ending Posts.
So, if you Readers hear anything to that effect out there, tell us and we can stop. (yeah, right!)

Until that day we will keep writing and Posting and blogging.  Pretty simple, isn’t it?

(screw the set up…) the Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day!! dogged persistence…a primary characteristic of your clarks, but before (you clarks get all, “hurray for me”) we are talking about a dogged, overly-constrained, one foot in front of the other type of persistence.  The type of persistence that is a breath away from being found dead buried beneath a 6 foot pile of National Geographic Magazines, in a house full of National Geographic Magazines that have alpha and omega-tizied and tied in year-sized bundles.. ’cause it is only when they are put in order can you understand the real message that is being secretly sent.
That kind of persistence.

You scotts and rogers don’t exhibit that kind of I-am-living-this-borderline-insane-life-because-at-the-end-of-it-you-will-all-see-that-I-wasn’t-crazy, crazy life that clarks do, but you do  have a clark in your life, and they are there for the express purpose of providing a semblence of continuity.
You (scotts and rogers) have to have a clark in your life, if you do not then, scotts will ultimately end up living out of a paper bag (“hey man, I’m just too active and busy to waste time with all that balanced life crap”…) and rogers will simply be found doing whatever they were doing when last influenced by a clark, (…”yeah, but you wouldn’t get it, this is perfect…what would you know”)
So, the Lesson of the Day is this: not only does having only three types (to account) for all of humanity mean that there will always be a mix of clarks, scotts and rogers, but the fact of having these particular three types requires that there must be a mix, a ratio, a balance.

Doesn’t mean that you can benefit by this knowledge, just doin the Lesson of the Day yo.

the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!*****Animal Shows*****

July 21, 2010 By

OK second installment of essay writers online this oh-so, so-so popular Feature in which we examine ’em, the most reliable of cultural markers….cable TV shows.  

This week: Animal Shows  

Our cialis cheap Contestants are:  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whale Wars                    rogers…a ship full of rogers going up against a muderous ship full tadalafil no prescription of……not so jolly……rogers………..aarrrh  

Dog Whisperer  Cesart Millan. Interesting thing here is not that Cesar is a scott, the interesting thing is that when he goes to a family’s home to do whatever he do to the dog, the wife is virtually always a clark!
I suspect I know the reason, but it is more fun to just watch and you will see clear examples of the realtionship dynamic between a scottian male and a clarklike female.  (Husband is almost always a roger, big surprise there, lol)  

Dogs 101 simple plot…dogs 3 different breeds per episode, it is the humans we are after, of course. No real star here, just some ‘experts’ who are there to do Commentary on each of the breeds being profiled.

Interesting note, when it comes to breeders/handlers: male = scott, female = roger. Hardly a scottian or a clarklike female to be found among them.  

 

Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Hey Marlin!

I been watchin you….an I know you been watchin me….  

Animal Shows…which ones are the animals?…

Started out this morning feeling so polite

July 20, 2010 By

 

Glad you could make it today.
Looks like the week will be a busy one, so let’s review real quick for the new Readers.

the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is not a theory but does have clarks, scotts and rogers.  It sort of is a Doctrine and there is, in fact, a “wakefield” intimately related to this thing of ours.  There are people (besides the clark, the scott and the roger) who are involved and quite active here, but they are all either clarks, or scotts or rogers…of course!
While nothing is required of new Readers, there is a constant pressure on (experienced) Readers to Comment, (to) ask questions about their own experience with the Doctrine.  There are no uniforms, but there are hats (for your damn heads).  There are no rules but there is a Moderator.
(semi)Finally, the Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, useful and fun tool to have if you’ve ever felt that, if  you understood why people acted the way they do,  you would know better how to respond/when to respond/when it was in your best interest to run away.*

So what can you, (the totally new Reader), expect to find here? 
Fun!  (the Wakefield Doctrine):  is an oddly useful, in a ‘once-you-get-used-to-it’  kind of way thing, ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers); lots of youtube-type videos representative of a musical taste that defies categorization; references to a high school and high school students that appear to be possibly real people, but probably are not (referring to Janie, Britney, Jimmie, Mr B and Principal Clark at Millard Fillmore High, of course!) and  Comments from people referred to as DownSprings, Friends of the Doctrine and/or Progenitors.  Plenty to see/read/hear/stare at here at the Doctrine.

Don’t forget, Wednesday is “the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!” day.  Not really sure if we should call it a single day event, as the discussion that it starts seems to run on into the end of the week.  But hopefully the voting will be done on the first day (remember vote early and often).  Last week the topic/subject was Cooking Shows.  This week it will be Animal Shows.  This Feature is helpful to people trying to get comfortable with identifying  clarks, scotts and rogers, by using people that are prominent in our culture, we can say (as I will tomorrow), “Go watch the Dog Whisperer.  Cesar is a scott.  I know this because”….(and we will discuss why).
It will be fun and informative, for New Readers and old alike!

Oh! oh! almost forgot to mention to you New Readers…those hats?  for your damn heads?  They are available and are, in fact, nearly free!!
(Let’s Interrupt this Message with a quick Lesson of the Day.  That business of offering something that sounds so totally good and desirable only to secretly qualify it with such fineprint that the “NASA Approved Giant Anti-Gravity Tomato Growing Harness”  that you see on the TV? how turns out to be an onion bag full of dirt and fertilizer?
That is using ‘fineprint’,  and you know who invented that, don’t you?
Come on, show of hands…(no Jimmie not a scott…it is way, way too indirect for a scott“)…anyone? Alright, the correct answer is: rogers! 
It would be a roger who invented the concept of fineprint.  Please think on this and be prepared for the topic to come back up… in a discussion of  “why would it be a roger? (and not a clark or a scott.)

Sorry, New Readers..Lesson of the Day?  Glad you asked!  We try to have one Lesson… most Posts, it’s our way of presenting the Doctrine in a different context, it helps as a way to learn to see the clarks, scotts and rogers in world. 
Back to the nearly free hats (for your damn heads)…the only cost is that you must ask for one.  A  Comment in which you describe why you think you are a (clark, scott or roger) and if you ask for a hat, I will  send one to you.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?  Oh yeah, one more requirement… You must take a photo of your newly acquired hat in front of a recognisable landmark appropriate to identify your State or region or whatever. (Your damn head underneath the hat is totally optional, yo.)

Time to close….any questions?  (…yeah, right.)

* a fairly advanced reference, if you are not sure what it means, you can always write a Comment.

what I meant to say is clearly not what you think you heard

July 19, 2010 By

 

Monday.
Get the hell up.
You know of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) and you will recognise at least one roger or one scott in your world today.
You will not approach this individual or otherwise make them aware of your knowledge that they are just like we talk about here.
You will do your best to maintain your composure, unless you are reading this with a friend and/or friends, in which case, listen to the clark among you.
When you spot your first roger, it will most likely be in an ‘organised environment’, ie.e school or work or any other place that you are compelled to follow certain guidelines as to your own activity.
Make a note of your first sighting (being extra careful if you are spotting a scott, do not, under any circumstance allow the scott to see you taking notes.)
If you are a roger (yeah, right!) do not allow other herd members to observe you doing anything that is out of the ordinary.
Clarks…you will have no trouble…unless you start to think that this Wakefield Doctrine will win the love of the herd or the backing of the scott.
When you have spotted the first, the rest will be easy.
Expect to make mistakes initially deciding if a person is a scott or (an aggressive) roger.
Don’t be concerned, it happens to the best of us at the beginning.
You will notice, rather quickly, that rogers are using the personal pronoun way, way, way more than the scott…
You will (then) notice that the scott has the attention span of a 3 month old puppy on amphetamines

Everyone ready?  Good.  We know you can do this thing.  If you have any questions or concerns you can always write a Comment (yeah, fer sure lol)

We here at the Doctrine will be standing by, both Progenitors and DownSprings to help where we can, but knowing about the Wakefield Doctrine (and seeing the world accordingly) thing is a lot like…riding a bike?…nah a bike is inanimate and while fun will not turn on you if you stray from the herd…or totally prey on you until something more attractive comes along, …like learning to play an instrument?…no way! playing an instrument has a set technique and therefore is totally predictable so that if you hit certain keys on a keyboard you will always get a certain sound/tone….like sex?….maybe…it sort of has the always the same almost always enjoyable and worthwhile, except when it is not and then the results are to be regretted for a life time…yeah sort of like that.
But all of us here, at Doctrine central, admire you as you got out into the world today, armed with a knowledge and a  power that is shared by 10s and 10s of people here and there around the globe.  Now you know how Noah must of felt…you gotta get out in the world and do something that you will be glad you did, but you better not let the neighbors get too close a look at your backyard…or something like that.

New Readers?  No rush, no hurry.  The above is directed towards Readers who have been here a while, for now you should just enjoy the videos, spend some time in the Pages (Table of Contents) or browse through some old Posts (Archive Read ’em and Sleep)…you will get the hang of this Doctrine thing pretty quick we betcha.

Hey a big shoutout yo to Renasainces Rauneasce Renoven  Ronin…one of the first Friends of the Doctrine.  He stopped by and said hey last night (see Post, “don’t you people ever go to bed”).  He will hopefully be sporting some fine Doctrine apparel and we hope to see a photo of his hat (for his damn head) in front of a landmark from his part of the country.  Ronin has taken it to the next level (for many blog writers) and has written a book.  ‘Hats off”(our damn heads) go to his site and read a spell.  That being: The Life and Times of a Renaissance Ronin  kutgw, dude.

So, busy week coming up.  New issue of the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!  The topic will be Animal Shows so get watchin and start votin…not yet

Almost August, expect that Our Miss Sullivan should be returning from her “Grand Tour of the Continent” (very funny Jimmie, thats Continent…) and our little Britney should be finishing up her internship at Camp Rumplelake, (there are no handicaps, there are only poor-unfortunate-humans-who-for-some-reason-got-on-the-wrong side-of-Jethro-before-they-were-frickin-born) kids.  She has done a lot of good work there and we all look forward to hearing her tell us what she has learned.  Jimmie is, of course, interning with Mr. B lol and we are sure to hear from him.

So, get out there and spot them clarks, scotts and rogers.  RUUn Readers!….Ruun!!

lol…glenn…evolve dude…evolve

my cathected objects back, and theres gonna be trouble, hey la, hey la

July 18, 2010 By

(yeah, I know…)

But you don’t want to know what the path to this sub-title and therefore the initial topic of this Post is, what you probably want to know is what the hell the big deal about this Wakefield Doctrine is and why you should even care.
The very definition of the internet in general and the blogosphere in particular is: everything is out there.  If it exists, then someone has created a site or written a blog about it.  Not only that, even if a thing doesn’t exist there is a high probability that someone has created a site around it or written a blog about it.

We fall in the second category.

the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is a unique, useful and fun way to look at the way people behave.  Not so much a personality theory as it is a perspective that allows you to not only understand the personality of others but to be able to predict the behavior of others. Guaranteed.  Totally.
So take a look around, no! don’t read that section yet!
Just the most recent Posts listed in the lower left of the homepage, that should get you started.  In addition to the definitions of the terms used and replete with the cant peculiar to the Doctrine, you will see Comments.  These Comments, at least at the present time, are contributions from people with ‘first hand’ knowledge of the Wakefield Doctrine.  DownSprings is the preferred term.
So, welcome!  glad to see you!

(hey, have I done enough of the friendly host bullshit?)….(thank god..I mean, jeez goddamn, people I want this blog to be  accessible and to attract the crowds and all.  I really hope this crap works, but if I have to act all welcomey and interested and “oh let me explain that to you” much more, I may start to puke…in a clean digital fashion, of course!)
(as a matter of fact, they should be asking us about this thing of ours! what a frickin clark I can be…all, ‘oh please let me show you a thing that will change your life for the better’…damn I need to read the Doctrine my own damn self…rogers have zero respect for free stuff (especially from a clark) and scotts, with their ‘impulse-act’  single mindedness, hell they won’t care  ’cause with them if it don’t move, bark loud and have the capacity to eat them, it don’t count.  There’s a good reason that all Cesar needs to do to control the dogs in his show is a totally non-verbal, high-end hissing noise.)
(So, screw this Interested Host Welcoming New Visitor Bullshit)

Hey roger! yeah, you!  the new Reader with the slight curl to your metphorical lip as you continue to read this far…fuck you.
Hey scott! yeah you! sit (hhssssttttttt)
Oh clarkie…yeah, I know your system is so totally more inclusive and (it) absolutely covers this aspect in a much more user friendly way…blow me.

OK!… Since we have the introductions out of the way, make yourself at home while I attend to the updates and notices and other stuff for our regular Readers.

(DownSpring) Joanne is in da house!!!!!
While tending to stay more in the background but still  totally supportive of all things Doctrine, DS Joanne has requested a hat (for her damn head). (boo ya)
These things are starting to make their way out into the world. (Just as a little reminder, the only ‘price’ of the this fine, fine Doctrine apparel is that you get a picture of the hat (with or without your damn head underneath) in front of a local landmark to verify your geographical positionhood.  Joanne now joins the swelling crowdlette of hat models and we  looking forward to a photo.
Which, of course raises the question:  ‘Hey!  Doctrine People!  Supposes someone asks me about what’s on the hat, the Wakefield Doctrine thingie.  The official answer to this is: “come on clark, don’t worry so much, you know what to say, you do not need authorized words“.

So coming this week! the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!  Next up:  Animal Shows.  Look for it in the middle column some time this week, probably around Wednesday.  The shows under-consideration are (as of today):  Whale Wars, Dog Whispererer, Crocodile Hunter (retrospective), Dogs 101 and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.

So be ready to Vote and/or Comment on your favorite.

Let’s get out of here…a little mm mood music….
