Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

You know that cool restaurant that you remember  hearing about back as a kid? The Automat^1? That’s almost what we’re gonna do for a Post today. A re-print Post on semi-steriods (yeah, I know! wtf?!?  twice in a week or is that a fortnight?  Where the hell is Curtis Knight when you need him?²)

We’re going to do something a little different with this here re-print here. Seeing how I wrote (this) Post back when I was more socially linked (the early days of my participation in FTSF) in today’s Post I’ll be providing the links to all those who commented. Sort of like, ‘where are they today?’  Like on TV, back before they convinced the audience that they would rather watch un-trained, not-necessarily-talented, hardly-ever-particularly-likeable people do stuff/act mean/act like assholes on ‘reality’ TV. During Sweeps Week,  they used to  go right for the nostalgia g-spot and do a show devoted to showing us the people that anchored our youthful dreams and fantasies, only with wrinkles and bags and screechy voices. (Back in the 70’s, P.J.O’Rourke, when he wrote for the National Lampoon and was still funny, wrote a line about getting old (this was, of course, before any of us were), “…and everything gets bigger, hairier and closer to the ground.” )

Where the hell was I?  Oh! yeah. gonna put up a Post from last year and then put up links to everyone who commented on that Post. In fairness, I will do it as links, just links.  (Hey!! clarks!!  don’t you just fuckin hate it when you find yourself feeling that it is critically important that you’re being ‘fair’… sort of like running back into the burning building because everyone is not out yet….mind you, you’re not running back to actually get them out of the building!  you’re just being careful that no one has their feelings hurt by the fact that you’re quicker to run than they are…. you want to know the real reason you hate that?  then you better Subscribe to follow the Wakefield Doctrine.)

1) “The New York Automats were popular with out of work songwriters and actors. Playwright Neil Simon called Automats “the Maxim’s of the disenfranchised” in a 1987 article.” (wikipedia.org)

2)  a free Wakefield Doctrine docTee* for anyone who can tell me something/anything/preferably what really famous person he is associated with  without using ‘the google’…. you are allowed to ask one person, but that has to be a person…. real, as in  ‘in person’,  no emails to ‘Ask Melanie ‘ or twittering to ‘Old Person Central’   just tell us about Curtis  No one with all of the following letters in their name is eligible to play: ‘r’, ‘e’, ‘g’, ‘o’
