Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
Sweeps Week is coming to a close, time for one more Post with keywords like personality theory and the euphonious clarkscottroger and to tie it all together, leave us not forget (that we are trying our hand at ) predicting human behavior. Is this, improvisational academia1 at it’s best or what? God! I love a contest! ( Or is this a ‘challenge’…nah, more like an ordeal….heck with it, lets just call it our little secret).
As the authors of these Posts, we would be totally remiss in our duties if we did not spend as much time as possible reading articles and blogs on the subject of SEO and the effective presentation of ideas to the interent audience. Specifically, trying to learn new and better ways to present the Wakefield Doctrine to y’all. To this end, we have those little icons down at the bottom of each Post. Clicking on these allow you to ‘Share’ the Post with others on the internet. You can even do a facebook “I Approve of this Fine Post” kind of message (referral or whatever the hell they call that little thumbs up icon). In addition, we have been twittering (…tweatting?…twitterationing?) …sending out those ridiculously short, instant messages announcing each new Post. …there is a Twitter icon to the right, on this very page! Why don’t you just go ahead and click on it, send a message to @wakefielddoc.
In any event. the message of today’s Post simply is: Let us know what you think about our little blog here.
So, I was saying that we have one last opportunity (during Sweeps Week) to get the word out about the Wakefield Doctrine and I just read a blog that stated that one of the best ways to encourage Readers to write Comments is to write Posts that include ‘Numbered Lists” as a part of the plot ( ha, ha… the plot that really cracks me up! but then again it is 2:30am suppose it doesn’t take much…) Today’s Post will provide you with a numbered List of ways to spot clarks and scotts and rogers.
Oh yeah! Ms. AKH is making me write shit at these other blogsites… We are at a site called Yahoo Contributor and also some other place called Hub Pages…both of these sites have straight, serious article-things about the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. Nothing you don’t already know, but it wouldn’t hurt if you just click on the little links and see whats up over there. So, on with the main event! This is the part that (according to the blog I read) you hvae come here to read. The List of Ways to identify clarks or scotts or rogers.
List 1
- any female person wearing more jewelry on her face or in her hair than any other part of her body….clark
- the cashier at your supermarket who manages to get you talking about why you really prefer the frozen chick pea over the fresh…roger
- the long-time friend that when you are invited (by other friends) to bring them to the party, you feel the need to explain how out-going they are and that they really are nice and will help anyone in a pinch…scott
- the spouse who will visit a near total stranger in the hospital, alone yet has to be dragged to family celebrations including but not limited to Christmas, Thanksgiving, funerals…clark
- the significant other who devotes more energy to a specific vocation/avocation than they do to their own frickin healthcare, yet guards it more jealously and with a higher degree of secretiveness than a former member of al qaeda (who has converted to Judaism) in a synagogue…roger
- you feel that even if your friends wife made your friend promise that you would never be in the same room again, all in all it was a pretty good party…scott
- you sit up at 3:05 believing that if you keep at, something amusing will occur to you and if nothing seems at all funny as you write it, that might be the indication that you are creating something that everyone else will find totally funny later, but you also recognise that you can’t take that too much to heart because that would decrease the chances of that happening…clark
- (courtesy of DS#1) …extreme shoes on the feet, if you see a person with shoes that are the fashion equivalent of a totally tricked-out low-rider car, then you are looking at a.…clark
Now, the article I was reading is emphatic that to capitalize on this technique, the author should, at the end of the Post, ask the Readers if they have any additional items to add to said list. Which is kinda too bad, because it seems around here at the Wakefield Doctrine a lot of Readers are shy about offering their opinion on matters of the Doctrine. I admit that I have made jokes about Readers writting Comments that have been a bit less sensitive to the feelings of people, in particular the one about how ‘there are no stupid questions, just your questions’…( damn! loves that joke..)
Write whatever you please.2 We will still give you a music video, even if you can’t add to our List of 7 Ways to spot a clark or a scott or a roger.
lol Somebody go call glenn, tell it’s safe to come back now….promise him he’ll like the next one…really lol
1) Totally give credit to the Progenitor roger for this little gem. ‘Improvisational academia’ does not quite rise to the level of full rogerian expression, those things are in a class by themselves! For a better understanding of these,Higgs bosons of the spoken word, go on over to the page on rogers or if you have your mind right, just go to the source, over at Gregory Campbells’ office. So you will be aware of what you are in for, allow me to cite a rogerian expression. (..written in a blog for real estate agents: “…and my opinion is that for the most part, people dislike real estate agents because they all too often come across as much too self absorbent“)
2) No, this does not apply to you, glenn…write what you would write on your little facebook page or wall or whatever they call it and you will not have to worry about your written words being adulterated by a librarian who, for whatever reason, looks like either Lenny Bruce or Bruce Jenner ( or was that Lennie Small).
