Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
(What the hell! I arranged for a vid Post for the scott of this Thursday’s Guest Post Thursday’s Guest Post and I don’t have it! I went to Wakefield, met Glenn, (who got in my car), gave him the instructions that I give every Guest Post Writer (“…anything you want to” etc etc) proceeded to drive around Wakefield (actually, even cooler, we drove to Narragansett, the Town Beach, under ‘the Towers’ and down Ocean Road) and he talked his Post into my phone (vid).
…gone…into the ozone. somewhere between the phone and ‘the youtube’. great. Now what? …clarks are creatively resourceful, if nothing else…so, following are some videos that Glenn has done in the past few years. He should be reading this, so if you want to find out about last night, go ahead and ask. That is, after all, why god invented Comments.)
I’ve known this Thursday’s Guest Post ‘Writer’ for a very long time. Glenn is one of the few people who have learned about the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers from, essentially, the beginning. Glenn was, in fact, a participant in my decision to rename my theory and start a blog.* He works in the human services field (business, occupation) and is an accomplished trainer (read: stand in front of a crowd of strangers and get them to think and believe a certain thing). Glenn is also, to the surprise of no one reading this, a talented musician. In fact, one of the reasons he’s been absent from these pages in the last couple of years is that he has been busy being successful with his band (and with his ‘solo act’). I did say he was a scott, right?
…glenn?

About clarkscottroger
Its ironic to get here and find out this post has been a comedy of errors as I know it was tough to get it together in the first place… but to top it off I couldnt get your site all day it kept coming up unavailable… I finally got here and it kept shutting me out after I tried to comment…and I couldnt get the vids to play… Im sure its my end of the system but yeesh… I would love to make some sort of link between this series of events and a scottian presence but I cant think of one.. oh well…
thank you… I was watching the traffic which was zero for most of the day…so I will take your input to imply that my server has been down (as opposed to the word getting out about how it is best to avoid those Doctrine people, especially on a scottian Guest Post Thursday…)
god! to be a roger! then I could be happy building ships in bottles or collecting World War I uniform insignia or whatever the hell it is that they are able to spend their entire free time on and feel totally fulfilled.
HAHAHAA that’s a lot like saying “I’m not lucky enough to go bat-shit crazy!”
FYI: Its still doing it … It just took me three tries to get back here and hitting the “notify me” button below doesn’t work either…
Excellent delivery of the joke! Enjoyed all the vids. Glenn used to be such a “regular”. He is a shining example of a scottian male.
That’s all I got right now. My head is like a giant bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup.* ‘Nuff said
*I checked with my local Vietnamese restaurant on my walk last week to see if they’d gotten their take out menus (no, not yet) and l couldn’t help notice the giant size bowl of soup in front of one of the patrons. I’m talkin’ GIANT.
cool thing on the post ‘ere.
:D
Okay, and here’s a great Doctrine question.
Here’s the backstory:
Husby and I were discussing how clarks often say way too much in social contexts just to try to “cover up” our “outsiderness” from the very often present rogers.
Okay, so the subject of husby’s dad comes up. The guy, we think, was a veritable clark, too. But, he had been in Germany in World War II. He was a sensitive guy, and very, very traumatized after returning after the war.
All his life, he was a true thinker: he was a civil engineer, introverted, and very witty.
But, he never said more than what was necessary. In fact, he was an extremely, extremely private dude, and never revealed too much about himself. He was a great observer, but managed to do it in a way that didn’t alarm people.
So my question is this: was he a clark and only a clark? He did have a little bit of scott in him because when he got pissed off, he’d raise hell, haha, but is there such a think as a “very private” clark? I mean, we already lead “observer” lives, but we’re often guilty of sharing too much to try to cover that all up. He didn’t. What gives? Was it his after-war trauma? Or is it possible a clark is 100% clark (no secondary or tertiary) and doesn’t over-share?
