(…you’re right, it’s almost too quiet….)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) This is the place to learn  to make sense of the behavior of those in our lives. At home, at work and at play, what people do will finally make sense and, in case that was not enough, the Wakefield Doctrine will allow you to predict the behavior of people in virtually any situation!

Hey, who would not want to read more? Actually, the answer is: most rogers and a surprisingly large percentage of scotts. (That all clarks would want to have the ability to understand and predict the behavior of others is axiomatic to the point of redundancy.) But I am being told, with increasing frequency, that I have to “lighten-up” these here Posts here.
“They” are saying that you Readers want to see Posts that are fun, and funny. It is not enough to offer information beyond value, I must (am being told), lure you into reading these Posts by putting up lots of music videos and maybe keep  the topics… more topical! 

There, is that topical enough?

(…topical enough for the nursing home, lol…its 3 o’clock and all the residents are in the day room playing, “who can remember their life”…)

Well! It appears that Miss Sullivan is back. Maybe I can get off the “obvious track” and jump over to the “contrived track”… why the hell not?
For new Readers (I’m talking to you, Autonomous Region of Madrid) “Miss Sullivan” is, “in fact” Janie Sullivan. (With the coming semester), Janie is a Senior at Millard Fillmore High and along with her bff Britney and friend without benefits, Jimmy, will often show up in these Posts. The whole gang at Mill Fill High provides a context for presenting the Wakefield Doctrine that is a little (a very, very, very…approaching limits of detection…very) little more accessible to some Readers than the more commonly utilised, Lecture form of Post.

(…and tell them I speak fluent blue italics and that I am not really as close to the edge of creepy as some of those old, old DownSpring people sometimes say…)

I think they get the point by now. Besides this high school students as characters ‘device’ , new Readers will also frequently encounter the Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day. These are efforts to present the Doctrine in a contemporary, (lol..frequently?..before meds or after?…) nearly real life situation. All efforts are directed towards allowing the Reader to see what the hell we are talking about.
Every effort is made to relate the Wakefield Doctrine to current, contemporary culture, in particular current pop culture. (…before afternoon nap? or after “lets all hold the big blanket in the Day Room while painfully loud music is played?…) If we use for example, the movie… 2001 A Space Odyssey…or (…old people alert!!…you have fallen into reverie and you can’t get out!!…) Well then, Miss Janie if you would like to cite a contemporary example?

…Twilight Ecilpse  lol… if anyone wanted to know how many rogers can be found with a SAG card, we have the answer! (Answer: Too many).  The protagonist is a roger, the antagonist is a scott (barely) and the (girl) protagonist is such a clark….although it is clear that the Director insisted that she could not do her own wardrobe and/or  stick something silly on top of her head or wear out-sized glasses or…the plot? Simple: roger suffers and meets girl, roger loses girl (and suffers) roger gets girl (and suffers)…audience…also suffers. THE END

Ahem…a little evidence to substantiate your claims, Miss Sullivan?  (…interview of Kristen Stewart (the clarklike female lead) on Regis…bet you can spot the scott and the roger there! lol how convenient, all three types just sitting there talking…)

The movie itself?  oh alright…if you insist…here is the trailer….

You know, now that I read this Post I might be prepared to say that for the most part actors play characters true to their own form…in other words identify the character type in the roles (an actor tends to play) and you will know what the person is, in real life…odd…but will save it for another Post…Mr. B? you must be back if the kids are back…

Something timeless if you will…

Very droll Mr. Janitor…if you could approach the 20th Century …

that was an accordion…wasn’t it….

Yes, yes we have used this song before…author prerogative….
