Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Almost through another week! Our creative combatants are still knocking ’em dead on the ‘Och detta är med’ Challenge. We will be with them to the zed! Remember to go to their Posts and leave a Comment.
Today we will have a slight reprise of a previously published Post. The reprise comes as a result of fitting it to today’s Context, thereby making it more readable. Speaking of more readable, one question:
- should there be a video Post tomorrow? (and if so are there any volunteers for an interview Post?) (you know who I’d totally love to have call in to the Doctrine phone number and spend a little time with us? yeah, Christine! hey! Christine!! 14 minutes on the phone…what possibly could go wrong in that period of time? ask zoe, she said she had fun! aww come on…) …call in while you’re driving the 90 minute drive to run down to the corner 7-11 or the maybe while watching a soccer game or… or, maybe as you stalk one of the four (or two) legged residents of ‘Auberge de jeunesse de Christine épicerie-temps-à-être’ we could do a Mutual of Omaha thing!! (You get to be Jim Fowler’s daughter, Jane….and I can be…. Marlin, for the Episode we call: ‘Stalking the wiley porcinus Indianus’) What? alright, I’ll stop now… but it would have been fun!
- what do your think about these Posts of late? (not the following our Friends in the a2z, but rather this never-ending ‘of the moment’ approach to presenting the Wakefield Doctrine. Stay with the stream of consciousness or (should I) attempt to impose some order on what I do in the course of the week.
- (this is not a question, but the number thing didn’t want to work), I think of what I do here (since I am a clark) as being the same effort as it always has been: present the Wakefield Doctrine in such manner that anyone reading this blog can understand, apply and enjoy (the benefits) of the Wakefield Doctrine. The question is: is this still the most efficacious approach?
Anyway. Ain’t changing today. Will change if enough of you people believe I should. Sorta. (let me know)
(Lets tune in to our Friends and see how they doin on the word-wrangling…. )
Lizzi: kid does it all…. god! I’m getting sick of these young, talented and skilled lifeforms! today it’s Interviews (how it should be done!)
Jean: (what’s the deal with these frickin Friends of the Doctrine?!? they are creative and skilled writers…ain’t that enough?!! nooo ! they have to have artistic skills here read her thing today
zoe at least of them is doing a Post that makes me feel better…. or at least warmer (you know, it’s not just that zoe and them are smart… hell! I’m smart, you’re smart, anyone who lasts more than 13 seconds at the Wakefield Doctrine is smart… it’s that she has the ….thing to come up with very cool, entertaining ways to teach us shit… tres coolio
(and today’s Fun Flashback!)
You know the guy/ you’ve totally seen the girl in the group. Always is the first to come up with the beer, always the first to climb up on the roof of the car…not the most handsome, but manages to get the girls attention/ not the hottest but the crowd gathers. Going back in time: John Belushi/Tatum O’Neal, John Candy/Boy George, Katy Perry, Seth Rogan, Lindsey Lohan, Pink… you know the names. and there is someone in your own group of friends that always gets compared to these celebrities, for better or for worse, they are the ‘go-to’ guy/girl for irresponsible, nonsensical fun.
Thats our Thursday! The Day of the Week that resonates with each of the three personality types, holding a promise that only an Outsider…a Predator…a Herd Member can feel excited about!
Thursday is:
- the day before the final exam… hey rogers! your moment in the Sun is a mere 24 away!
- the day before the day before the Weekend…but you scotts all know that, on a cellular level
- its a day of pausing, with hints of the expectations that will manifest in demands that are impossible to bear…don’t you feel alive! clarks?
- the caesura of most normal lives, the progression of the Weekdays slowed, even halted for a brief moment
- for the workers on third shift, it actually is Friday for them, to enjoy as the one benefit for working while the world sleeps
- hamburger fricassee as one of the most favored of High School Cafeteria Hot Lunches , yo
- Party Night for dorm dwellers, especially for those oddities, the live-in-the-dorm-during-the-week-and-go-home-on-weekends
- the night a clark is more likely to get lucky (as opposed to Friday and Saturday) or ( Monday and Tuesday)… yah, (Wednesday)
Remember Readers! This Wakefield Doctrine? It’s a tool and it’s a toy, you can learn to use it pretty quick and you can get to have fun with a friend using the Doctrine, ( find your scottian friend and introduce them to it.*) As a tool, there is a whole bunch of stuff you can do with this thing of ours, but that’s for another Post.
So bring on our blushing, slightly inebriated, but surprisingly eager to get down Day of the Week… Thursday!!
*How can we know this? 2 reasons: 1) if you are ‘getting it’ on first try, directly from reading about it, then chances are you are a clark. And if you are a clark with the ‘flexibility of intelligence’ to figure this out, then your friends are probably fairly bright, so you can coach your scottian friend (preferably without an audience, scotts sometimes dial-down the IQ when in front of a crowd) and b) ’cause this is the fricken Wakefield Doctrine, of course we know this stuff!
will be back.



Yes…I love the videos. You can do it Christine!! I’m so glad we are almost to the end of the week and now I have something to look forward to tomorrow. :)
I am too busy to be glad it is Thursday. I want it to be mid-June. I have wayyyyy too much going on and I am losing it! However I came here to be enlightened. And as always,
YOU CAME through. The clarkster!
On the other hand, who gave you the idea that Scotts are not all that swift?
“I’m smaaaaaaahhhht!” <– whiny quote from Fredo from the film The Godfather
jeh
lol
“I can handle things!!!”
:::::::::::::::big huff!!! ;)
CHRISTINE! CHRISTINE! CHRISTINE! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
In answer to the actual question…. I come to the Doctrine not just because it provides such a ridiculously unique insight into the realities of other individuals who may occupy my personal reality…. but I actually (despite the heat you sometimes get for tangential style from others and more commonly from yourself), come because I like the way you present it… My opinion is if it aint broke don’t fix it.
I agree!
::::no longer in a huff despite the fact you clarks think I am stupid
jen-ay
you will laugh when I tell you how perfect your comment above is (however, it is one of those things that I totally will not attempt to convey in ‘writing’, you’ll just have to drop in on the next vidchat and I will be glad to give you the whole story), suffice to say, the Doctrine does not say that scotts are stupid (or rogers are dumb) or clarks are crazy…. well, not per se
lol
I will try! All depends on THE GROCERY STORE. as you now know. :)
I could use a good laugh! that is why I come here. No man is an I Pad. very funny
jean, we dont think your stupid…touchy maybe but never stupid! ahahahhahahahhhaa… xooxoxoxxo skip
zoe! HAHAHAHAHA! I use this place as my shrink. therefore what you ARE SEEING is what my shrink used to see.
I also use this place because I love to read findingninee swear here. She is so great at it! She rocks at it!
zoe
got it… (as implied, the world around me changes and as a result I change “… no man is an iPad”)
I think the *nature of tangential is pretty dynamic and full-o-change, yes?
* Hey I think I finally found a reason to learn italics in comments… naw… nevermind….lol
Interviews are fun.. and I’m so tired I can’t even understand most of the post. Poor, poor brain!
Stephanie!
thank you! we’ll have to coordinate on the TimeZones and do a through the internet call! (hey, just kidding, thought I would take advantage of any decreased capacity …haha)
….although, I view it as not small matter of pride that the Doctrine (once the principles are comprehended)…needs very little further explanation, which when we do have (further explanation as we do nearly everyday) it’s for the fun of it and adds to the use and enjoyment, but not ‘getting’ any particular Post does not diminish it’s value.
ya know?
good bluff , Clark! I even started to feel nervous for her for a second there!
You and clark…need to have a show! Like Carson and MacMahon ! ( only better looking)
jean!
Im Ed !!! Called it!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
