Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Nothing says: well-established better than a repeat (as we once would say when we watched television). This being the realm of the written word, it might be more accurate to refer to it as a reprint. But even that lacks exactness, seeing how this isn’t printed paper.
In any event, below is a post from, like, the second full year of this here blog here.
From so very long ago:
“…a chart providing the average shelf-life of ideas for Posts* …the Wakefield Doctrine (happy scottian Holiday!)”
July 3, 2012
childhood memories involving learning to become a better person: 6 hours
childhood memories involving learning bad habits and behavior: 3 days
childhood memories involving doing something publicly embarrassing to adults: 2 years
adolescent fantasies that result in being scarred for life:
(physically scarred): 3 years (emotionally scarred): 5 years
workplace situations that result in receiving a raise: 6 hours
workplace situations that result in being fired: 3 months
workplace situations that result in being arrested: 4 years
relationship maturity demonstrated in daily life: 1.4 hours
relationship immaturity demonstrated in public: 4 days
a Post trying to illustrate the ephemeral nature of creative ideas: 75 minutesQuick reminder about the Holiday tomorrow: If you do not know that July 4th is one of the most scottian of holidays, then you need to write in one of the Comment boxes below 50 times
“scotts love loud noises, it lets them believe they can have an effect on the world“.
Seriously, picture the coming Holiday:
- takes place at the height of the Summer season
- eating and drinking to excess is encouraged
- minimal clothing allowed in virtually all public places (including churches and hospitals)
- outdoor sports activities including chasing frisbees, being dragged behind a boat and the use of explosive devices (such explosives, that were it December instead of July, a visit from Homeland Security would be the immediate result)
- …minimal clothing
So for you non-scotts reading this, three July 4th Survival Tips:
- stay indoors
- keep the lights off and the glow of the TV shielded from windows and doors
- turn up the air conditioning and ….wear extra clothes
We hope that helps.

Hey! Thanks for the evening levity and Mr. Bentley :D
“…hood-sliding like Bo Duke”. great line!
New Years and 4th of July are the official Scottian holidays – be safe everyone.
But I HATE NYE and the 4th….
(with a smile of understanding and care)… but, the caps, we see the words… lol (remember! we all have the potential of a significant secondary and tertiary aspects. you know, I’m a clark and yet have a scottian secondary… clearly you are possessed of a secondary…. wait! sorry, rules say, ‘No one can tell another person what their predominant (or secondary/tertiary) aspects are; only the individual has that right.’
HAHAH…this is hilarious! I missed it the first time around in 2012. LOL.
I had to read the whole first part out loud to John.
And the scott who works in my office? Yeah, I got her a bottle of wine for being an awesome colleague (of late, we are becoming better friends. This particular scott has a lot of roger there, too and some clark). I realized it when I got back from my travels and she immediately noticed my new glasses, asked about my travels, and welcomed me back. It was curious: no one else in the office quite did. But the rest are rogers. So, I got my scottian friend a bottle of wine for her awesomeness.
She proclaimed to me, “you’re contributing to my alcoholism on July 4th. I’m having 25 people over at my house. This will be perfect.”
She so fits in line with what you just said up there. Egads.
yeah. lol them scotts totally fun (and dangerous)… I didn’t see one of my favorite descriptions (must have been in an earlier post) of a scottian female at the summer gathering, surrounded by rogers saying, ‘Do you think this bikini is too small?’
lol
