Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
(If you had Hamburger Fricassee at school lunch yesterday, then today must be Friday.) If today is Friday, then it is time for a weekly Video!!
2 Good things and 1 Bad thing about today’s video:
Bad Thing:
- Production Value. OK, I will admit that this is not such a ‘bad thing’ about today’s video. Truth of the matter, I enjoy the live, ‘on the road’ gritty, earthy feel of the interior of a German luxury car. In the middle of a performance, and without warning things go awry, I can feel the leather seats and they seem to say, “What the hell? You are (barely) controlling 3,527 pound of car at 60 or 70 miles per hour, ain’t this Wakefield Doctrine something?”
- Organization and Presentation of Subject Material. The argument continues with some of the DownSprings regarding the value and importance (of) rehearsal. The scottian element is all, “hey man! it’s one take or nothin…get the excit
mantment thats the only thing that will excise…exceria get them Readers goin…..Fuck!” The jury is still out on that one.
Good Thing :
- Topic The key to the wider acceptance of the Wakefield Doctrine lies in clearly presenting the ‘how to’ of the Doctrine. As we tried to get across in today’s video, by raising the question of ‘is there one correct answer’, Progenitor roger has provided both an answer and an illustration of (the basis of the answer)!
- Involvement of DownSprings and Progenitors. (Back to production values etc), both Ms AKH and DS#1 were able to look at the videos ( there were three done yesterday) and apply an objective assessment of them, and with their knowledge of the Doctrine they could recommend the version (of yesterday’s vid) that best presented the ideas we were trying to communicate.
There you have it! Look, Listen, Learn.
About clarkscottroger
DS#1 once mentioned knowing that a certain lady was a roger by the fact that she kept mentioning a group she was part of. Is a roger also just as concerned about not being identified with certain groups?
Also, in the video you said that you won’t see a female clarks throat. What do you mean by that?
Hey Molly! While we wait for someone else to leave a comment I will submit one myself. The woman I was referring to was a new front end manager where I work. Initially, I could not decide if she was a scott or a roger. After extended interaction, conversation** and observation I decided she was a roger. It was her referencing her church and some activity they were having that nailed the coffin on that one. No doubt that she was a roger. I could “feel” her sense of “community”.
It is a collective sense, after interacting with an individual over time and in varied situations, that tells you whether a person is a clark, scott or roger. Time is needed in most cases (not all) to make a definitive identification. There will be a consistency in one type of behavior over the other two that you will eventually be able to see.
An example of my not “getting” it right is that once upon a time, a long time ago, I thought that Ms. AKH of “this here Doctrine here” was a clark. Back then I perceived the value she placed on her solitude as a clarklike characteristic, which of course it was (is) and assumed she was a clark. Since we got along well and enjoyed each other’s sense of humor , I just figured she was like me. We were similar to each other sometimes and then quite different other times. I was relating to her clarklike characteristics and perhaps she was relating to my scottian aspects. But ENOUGH RAMBLE. ON TO THE THROAT TENDONS! LOL
The Progenitor clark was trying to emphasize that in a general sense scottian woman will dress in such a way as to reveal their neck and chest more than a clarklike female. A clarklike female on the other hand, while at times revealing her neck, just as often may have some sort of scarf wrapped around it or be wearing some article of clothing, sweather, coat, etc (strange or not) that covers up the area he speaks of. There is no doubt about this tendon thing as I have witnessed it. Anger a scottian woman and while they are yelling and such you will notice the strain in their necks that come from that whole tendon thing. Yes, I speak the truth!
Isn’t his fun:) ?
**rogerian women especially enjoy talking about others (not always in a bad way). They love to share in the gossip of what’s going around.(have to keep up to date on things)
Keep in mind also, rogers are the ones who can keep a grudge for as long as it takes them to decide they won’t hold one anymore. It can even be for a lifetime.
But a woman having the tendon thing doesn’t automatically make her a scottian female, does it?
I’m asking because yelling is my biggest vice and I definitely have the tendon thing. Not to mention I like life loud–at least what I consider loud. Of course, there are those who have heard me yell who still maintain that I am calm and quiet, never raising my voice.
Have you ever considered calling into the Saturday Night Drive Time Show? The more I think about it….if just to hear 2 scotts in action. I mean, if you like to yell, then you will be in perfect company! LOL
Last Saturday night glenn and AKH and P. clark, of course, were physically driving while I was disembodied in the dashboard. The dynamics were unmistakable. The 2 scotts had their “micro pack”, laughing and yelling like hyenas while the 2 clarks attempted an actual discussion. We will often speak of balance and counterbalance. For example, had the Progenitor roger called in then the dynamics would have been altered yet again by his “presence”.
What the heck Molly. Why don’t you call tonight, 8 EST. 1-218-339-0422 then Enter Passcode: 512103# *** (if the voice says you entered the incorrect passcode then enter it one more time.)
It would be quite interesting to note the dynamics should there be 3 clarks and only 2 scotts and perhap only 1 scott participating. Throw in a roger and damn….

In the words of the immortal Fee Waybill – talk to ya later!!
I’ll call if I am home at that time. We have some plans for this afternoon that may keep me out later than that.
Sorry I missed you all!
All I have to say after last night’s drive is: where are the clarks! There should be a minimum 3/2 ratio (clarks to scotts) on these Saturday Night Drive Abouts. Damn!!!
that is not correct thinking, what you mean to say is 3/2 rogers to scotts and one (or maybe 2) clarks…thats an evening…and you have not even factored in the gender element (not that there is one).
How about all clarks? we have done that …interesting, exciting ususally to just one (of the clarks)
How about all scotts?…yeah, right ( a scott alone in a room, isn’t )
How about all rogers? sure, what else is new?
Did we consider rogers and clarks?…sure, until the rogers find themselves somebody better
Have I missed anything?
Nope. You covered it. Completely.
Can I get an AMEN?!!
…then lets get our-selfs some rogers willing to take the leap of faith and get in dat dashboard.
…am totally sitting in the ‘airplane place’ and I have a damn hour to watch the rogers (rogers, they be earrly) hope to spot me a scott before long, most likely running up to the gate at the last minute*.
Will check in next stop…
*earlier this year, in the Phoenix AZ airplane-place, I spotted a scott who was one of the maintenance guys, except he was walking around, obviously keeping a eye on security issues, except he had a large sandwich in his hand as he strolled through the waiting area…and yes, there was a trail of food-like crumbs marking his path…pretty sure he did not notice…
…god, to be a scott! carefree as a puppy and equally prone to frantic activity followed by instant naps…damn!
lmfao about the maintenance guy. you should’ve gotten a picture for our readers to see a scott in action…. hilarious!
