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

Before everyone goes home for the weekend, quick reminder:

• vidchat tonight (sign up sheet below) join the people behind the words that you read everyday. put a voice behind the posts and comments, ya know
• Chapter 8 of Blogdominion is coming out this weekend, (inside scoop: we almost to the end of Act I and all the Players will be …in play, awaiting the (traditionally high drama of  Act II)  don’t miss it! and if you haven’t started reading yet, go to this link…read the Prologue forward and please Vote and Comment, etc)
• the Wakefield Doctrine is a way of looking at the world around us and, as a result, better understand the people in our lives
• I was about to say that, the Wakefield Doctrine is more fun on weekends than it is on weekdays and…. well, yeah, dammit! I think I will make that statement!  Gimme some room… these bullet points are so confining….

…much better! So, about the Doctrine being more fun on Weekends than Weekdays? Sure. Because, weekends are more ‘fun’ than weekdays, unless, of course, you’re a clark. If you’re a clark, then weekends are either equal fun or equal not fun… clarks being a little peculiar in their expression/manifestation of ‘fun’  Sure, lets go to Mr Dictionary!

fun: (phun)(god-do-I-have-to-go?-I’d-rather-stay-here-and-read)

a)
Informal. of or relating to fun, especially to social fun: a fun thing to do; really a fun person; the funnest game.

2)
Informal. whimsical; flamboyant:  The fashions this year are definitely on the fun side.

Etymology
From Middle English fon, fonne ‎(“foolish, simple, silly”), probably of North Germanic origin, related to Swedish fånig ‎(“foolish”), Swedish fåne ‎(“a fool”). Compare also Norwegian fomme, fume ‎(“a fool”). More at fon, fond.

Alternative etymology connects Middle English fonne to Old Frisian fonna, fone, fomne, variant forms of Old Frisian fāmne, fēmne ‎(“young woman, virgin”), from Proto-Germanic *faimnijǭ ‎(“maiden”), from Proto-Indo-European *peymen- ‎(“girl”), *poymen- ‎(“breast milk”). If so, then cognate with Old English fǣmne ‎(“maid, virgin, damsel, bride”), West Frisian famke ‎(“girl”), Saterland Frisian fone, fon ‎(“woman, maid, servant,” also “weakling, simpleton”).

As a noun, fun is recorded from 1700, with a meaning “a cheat, trick, hoax”, from a verb fun meaning “to cheat, trick” (1680s). The meaning “diversion, amusement” dates to the 1720s. The older meaning is preserved in the phrase “to make fun of” (1737) and in usage of the adjective funny (our friends at wiktionary . com)

getting a little off-track are we? the thing about clarks and fun: we aspire to have fun. (that pretty much says it all!) scotts? they are fun  rogers get into having fun.
