TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

October 9, 2022 By

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Originally a ‘gratitude blog’, the TToT has, since its premiere installment back in 1989, evolved into a both a forum for projectile-ambitious writers-to-be and a platform for those who would offer their own experiences of being incited into a state of gratitude.

That said, you (bot Reader and contributor) are welcome to join us, this first full weekend of Furnace-on-Season, and enjoy some diversion and distraction.

 

1) Una (seeing how a coffee maker apparently warrants a dedicate music vid, then head down to the last one)

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) new coffee maker (with it’s own theme music in Vid# 1!)

5) rogerian translation, the instruction manual with the coffee maker was quite comprehensive. (Full Disclosure: My own attempt to transcribe a similar warning into virtually any language other than Oceania would be far less coherent. Example. “Gotterdamerung, verplunken nein, warnung… Ich bin ein Blitzkrieg! Gefiltezie Sloshing Mittens Verboten!!”)

6) the Six Sentence Story the place for short, little fun stories, new every week,

7) low-country coloquialism (‘Voel de verdienste!’) usually reserved for a time when success has been achieved but comes with a certain emotional reservation. Often associated with getting an A on an understudied mid-term, having parents not wake, despite dropping the keys at the door at 1:30 am and (usually un-appreciated until way, way …way later in life) your companion on an arranged first date says, ‘That would be fun, call me.’

8) something something

9) new fauna in the ‘hood:

10) SR 1.3 the Secret Rule that ends all secret rules, at least here at TToT. Basically SR 1.3 sez: “Hokey Smoke! You just wrote Number eight, you are totally Ben Kingsleying (music vid #2) this bad boy. You feeling the earn?7” Yes ’em save it for the Numero Ten. Yay. We knew you could do it!”

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    I loved your translation of the new coffee makers manual:
    “Gotterdamerung, verplunken nein, warnung… I bin ein Blitzkrieg! Gefiltezie Sloshing Mittens Verboten!!”
    I also love the color.
    Thank you.

    My Sweetie, who does like some German, will laugh when i read him that (he’s out of the house just now).

    Cool wild “chickens”.

    Oh, electricity leakage could be bad! :-)
    Any idea where your “chickens” came from? When I was growing up, the neighbors had peacocks that occasionally found their way to our house. (And because the house was built into a hillside, we ended up with peacocks on our roof!) They (the peacocks, not the neighbors) were sure noisy!

      Phyllis believes she saw them in a (relatively) nearby wild animal preserve and they just wandered in (not sure if they’re big on the flying thing)
