Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This, (referring to the subtitle of today’s post), is representative of how a vast majority of the approximately three thousand thirty-three got written. A catchy song/poem fragment, a bit of undigested melody hiding in the milky swamp of one’s favorite fruit and cereal breakfast.
Ain’t gonna fight it. As absent friends might say, ‘If it works, don’t fix it.’
It’s an open secret that, as a clark, we find the ‘chex* sources’ easily three-quarters of the fun of writing blogposts. Serially, when we flipped back to a Wikipedia reference to the phrase (click here), we were all smiles and wtf!
Hey, that’s our segue!
- clarks ask why
- scotts exclaim what
- rogers insist on knowing who
damn that was a simple Monday post!
We all know that clarks are to curiosity as fleas to the Black Plague (lol no, doesn’t make any sense. even as a metaphor/simile but, hey, we only make this stuff up, we’re not required to be correct**)
*never even close to being in the Top Three cereals to add fruit to1
** hokey smoke! a genuine topic for a Doctrine post! The value of being right as manifested in the
ProTip: New Readers? (Yes, if you’re reading this, the chances of your being a clark just went way the heck up! Keep up the good work!) The strikethrough is an example of a choice in how we express the Doctrine. We could, (and obviously almost did), focus on the value relative to the person, as opposed to simply comparing, (with an option on ‘contrasting’), the manifestation of the concept (‘value’) in each of the three perspectives.
…again, compliments on ignoring your secondary aspects and following the narrative trail
(those with secondary clarklike aspects? our sincere condolences and heartfelt approbation. gotta be tough to ignore a predominant scottian (“What the hell are you doing sniffing around the bottom of the text?!?! Ain’t no music or photos or nothin’ Lets get back on the run!”) or rogerian (“Excuse me. What are you doing. You can’t do that. It’s clearly a trick. Stop reading this instant.”) worldview.
lol

About clarkscottroger
The doctrine is constantly being defined and refined.
I prefer Fruity Pebbles by Post.
well, technically-speaking our skills as curator of the Wakefield Doctrine are, hoepfully improving with practice. lol
“Because” and “Because I said so” were destined to become common (inevitable) quick answers during childhood.
Reflecting on my niece’s 2 boys (a roger and a scott) I can say without question they are “who” and “what” respectively. 4 years apart, their personal realities at a young age were more than apparent. Thank goodness for the Wakefield Doctrine.
*sure it makes sense…
tru dat
It always explains a lot…
ikr?
I shall tell you of an incident from yesterday that gave me mid-step pause. A friend said something about preparing their main meal of the day, which required boiling the head of an animal (that if you lived in Switzerland would most likely be standing on your shed’s roof) … to which I quickly typed back in all upper case letters: WHAT??!
Enough said: case closed.
lol (the fun of being curator is to get to hear from others (clarks, scotts and rogers) out in the world.
(In all fairness, there is our standard courtesy admonition: At a certain point in practicing the (additional) perspective on the world around us that is the Wakefield Doctrine, seeing the clarks, scotts and rogers around us…is not the problem. Not seeing the clarks, scotts and rogers is.)
lol
