Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
Given some of the response from previous Post’s maybe it be best if we establish the following words, both real ‘words’ and the made-up ones.
glossary: (glô’sə-rē, glŏs’ə-)
n., pl., -ries.
A list of often difficult or specialized words with their definitions, often placed at the back of a book.clark : ( cuh lark) one of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine
scott: (sc ott) one of the other (of the three) personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine
roger: (rah jer) the other one (of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine
clarklike (adjective) to have the qualities of a clark
scottian ( sco-shun ) having the qualities of a scott
rogerian ( roe jeer ian) the qualities of a roger
rogerian expression: a manner of combining commonly used words in an inappropriate context, examples: ‘untidy joseph’, ‘aggravated security’ and ‘un-abashed edition’
Are there any questions?
Then the second item on the agenda
Future Projects and (other) Efforts to get more people to talk funny, like we do at this here blog here.
RCoyne points out in a recent Comment that, ‘…you people are the greatest minds I have ever encountered and I read a lot! And if you keep mis -quoting, -reading, -interpreting, aligning the things that I do at my blog, I will arrange for a mob (real or metaphorical to show up at your little Doctrine run you out of blogville. I can do that, I am a Progenitor. Have a nice Day! I still don’t want a hat, but a Tee Shirt would be nice, not that you will ever actually produce them!
Am waiting for hats to be produced ( have several of each type on order. And the decision is in! The final design of the Tee Shirt is finalized… wait a minute! no, no it has not been finalized. Goddamn, jeez people how are we going to wear our minds on our sleeves if we can’t agree on a frickin slogan for a frickin Tee Shirt!!! What the hell!! (No, I am not getting overly excited!! fuck you…let me go!)
We need to have some consensus on this matter, Mr. “I-Believe-You-Ordered-these- Hats” is gonna call me any day now and I had better have an answer for what to put on the damn back! The front, we can all agree will simply say ‘the Wakefield Doctrine’ on the left breast ( shut up, scott!!). But the back (of the Tee Shirt) is where we have the space to present our message and putting it on the back allows for all three types to get maximum enjoyment:
- clarks will be able to read (whatever) we have written and not run the risk of eye contact and having to interact directly with a person who has written an intriguing statement on their back and IwonderiftheymindifIsaysomethingaboutitbutIamsuretheyknowwhatitmeansandmaybelaterwhenIamwalkingintheoppositedirectionandbesidesthatcouldtakeforeveritIneverchangedirectionlol
- scotts will be allowed the element of surprise and be given luxury of sounding out the words (if we get too complicated)
- rogers will be able to point at the silly fucker with the crazy words on their back…Hey everyone look at this!!! NO, don’t laugh outloud!! …”Hey, cool Tee”
Now that I think of it, lets ask a roger! They speak the language of the masses!
Hey roger!! Oh shit, he’s still on the last Post. Damn, I think he might be a little cross with us, after we wrote something about his blog that, for some totally un-reasonable reason he thinks is being critical of him (or his kind) (or the herd) (or whatever). Wait…a…minute!! We’re clarks!! We can go up and ask him anyway!! (Free Tee Shirt to any Reader who can explain to us why it is a clark, admittedly a person who hates conflict, is still comfortable going up to a person that they have just provoked with a personal attack on his public efforts at a blog and ask that person for a favor. Who the hell does that kind of thing?)
…Hey RCoyne!! What do you think is best (for the Doctrine) to write on the back of the Tee Shirt?

Rogers…they’re not just for dinner anymore…
That actually appeared in one of my repetitive prophetic anxiety-ridden dreams the other night.
lol
Ok we have 2 out of three:
clarks: (tap, tap) is this thing on?
scotts:
rogers: they’re not just for dinner anymore
Hey scotts step on up and no, you can’t just print the word: ” FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! in giant dayglo* colors with a battery-operated recorder woven into the fabric that will say, “Hey you like what you read?? Huh? Do you?…I got your Tee Shirt…Right here!!!”
now get your mind working so we can get these things into existence.
* dayglo…it’s a ‘now old’ person’s thing
Scotts: “Hey!”
Dman…of course
OK folks…going once…going twice…
clarks: (tap, tap) is this thing on?
scotts: Hey!
rogers: they’re not just for dinner anymore
lol…you know I meant ‘Damn’…right? lol frickin clakrs…
Could have been read as “duh man”. And I am sure you meant “clarks” LOL
Love the roger slogan.
The clark one is so very, very clarklike you have to like it.
But “Hey”? Are you fu*@’g kidding Lenny? You on drugs or sumpin”? Better. Make it better.
actually I’m with L on this one…HEY!! (I will suggest we capitalize all the letters…(and extra exclas)
Hey You! Yes YOU… don’t turn around. I’m talking to you.
