Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
EZ-FRY-DAE: Sit back and Listen (or) Sit up and Read!
The Wakefield Doctrine is predicated on the idea that we all live in one of three worldviews. The world of the outsider (clark), the reality of the predator (scott) and the life of the herd (rogers). Observe the outward behavior of the person and infer the reality that they are experiencing….the rest of (that) person is now a damned, open book! All of us have the potential to live in any of the three realities, but choose one over the other two (but never really lose the capability to act as the other two). The Wakefield Doctrine is not so concerned with getting a list of likes and dislikes or having a person answer a questionnaire or charting the results on a 4 or 6 or 8 axises printout. Hell no! Want an example of how unique and cool and useful the Wakefield Doctrine is?…. (those questionnaires we just mentioned??) once we have inferred which of the three the person is, we can tell you how they will react to being asked to take the test!! Thats right! Haven’t even answered a thing and we know what they think of your puny questionnaire!
Yeah, the Wakefield Doctrine is that cool.
It is that cool. It is how I approached a near stranger (workfellow) and did the Ken Burns thing on him. I just threw a bunch of Doctrine shit at him (you know, to test the theory). Right on target. I had me a roger. lol The rogerian workfellow had in fact been watching a Ken Burns documentary about baseball. And he just happened to be reading a book having to do with history of somebody or something or other. Historical is the key.
That’s my Friday testimony. All I got. Until tomorrow night’s Call in Show.
Last night, I received a call from Thomas Jefferson (yeah, I know, he is dead, but so smart a man, he has an Android cloud that reaches from the ‘other place’. So, we talked about things, he’s not happy with how we molested his solid teachings about free enterprise, limited govt, etc. I asked him about the Negro lover he had and he suggested I listen to The Stones “Brown Sugar” for a while. I did. Went to 7-11 (still on cell with Tom) I can call him Tom now, we be friends like that – word – so, he gives me the scoop, can’t say anything about the ”other place’ says I’ll find out in the end.
So, he asks me about this Wakefield deal. I tell him he is a solid Roger. He LOL and says, “Yeah, I already know that.” I tell him the bad news – I can’t get a cap to him. He says not to worry. I tell him I’ve read his Biography and he says “good for you.” Don’t you have better things to do? I tell him, well, yeah, but right now, I’m listening to Brown Sugar. Ah, good. Now, you see, things were different then – then I interrupt him and ask about Ben, you know, Ben Franklin. Well, he says, he is philandering around – still – and is pissed because he had more quotes to live by that he didn’t get to share before he left. I said – He is a Roger, too. Tom says “Yes, but not as good as me.” I concur, but Mick is blaring in my ear and I miss the last part of what he says.
He says, well Steve, gotta run, my minutes are about up and my phone is going deader. I say “Deader?” Yes, he says, where you are, there is only death and dead. But, once dead, it can only be deader. OH! That makes sense. yeah, but don’t say anything, but BEN quoted that “Once dead, Twice Deader”.
Ok, then I found myself out of my Ambien induced sleep on the floor, in front of the TV with my dog licking my face. I got up, brewed some coffee, well actually made my wife brew it (I’m a Roger, other ppl do my work) and went to my studio and turned on Brown Sugar. Then, it all made sense. Common Sense, in fact. So, much so, that my reality became a Paine. Much like this diatribe of mumbo. “I found a girl and her blood ran hot . . .” The Stones, Thom would have loved The Stones. And, he does. Cigarette, anyone?
Cleburne? Seriously?
Only things that exist in Cleburne Texas are tornadoes, Dallas transplants, retirees, People from Cleburne who moved to DFW area then moved back to Cleburne. Moo. There was once a man from Nantucket, who moved to Cleburne – he was never heard from again.
Then again, I would suspect not a Roger to be found in Cleburne, Texas. However, you might find some antique stores and dinosaur tracks there. I wouldn’t suggest being in the Real Estate business there. moo. ding ding. The triangle sings and the farm hands run for the grub. Yeah, that’s about right. Now DALLAS! A step up, but lately, just a small step up because it be’s that way. There is nothing in Dallas – a visitor’s nightmare. Never take a vacation to Dallas – only thing worth seeing is the Kennedy museum, which Dallas can’t shake with a handful of rattlesnakes. WE killed Kennedy. All Dallasites. Forever and ever, Amen. That’s way people move to Cleburne – but, I’m LOL at the sticker on the back of my shirt that says “Kick Me”.
@Downspring #1:
LMAO! The imagery that comes to mind: Lucy yelling at Charlie Brown. Or Calvin yelling at Hobbes. Arms flailing…
“…you might find some antique stores and dinosaur tracks there.”
lol speaking of Dinner Bells! antiques… archeology mmm old verifiable lineage stuff
Cleburne seems to show as your server location…dude! you sure them Roswell folks ain’t got it in theys mind to move your server? Could be a trap though…
Here ya go Cowboy a little test:
Shane: clark or scott or roger
Jack Palance (character in the same movie): clark scott or roger
Willie Nelson:
Vince Gill:
Albert Lee:
(sorry, those last three are total mulligans. there is a vid out there of Vince and Willie and Albert… if you need us to tell you that Albert is a clark, turn in your hat! Willie is fun cause you know he is a scott by the eyes…and Vince well! how comfortable in the center of attention combined with monster musical talent and a weakness for the schmaltzy* make-them-women-folk-get-all-ohh-and-ahh does a person have to be to know you gots a roger?)
* an expression found in the non-horse-riding section of the country, means totally rogerian lol
