Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
While not among the Big Three (at least as manifested here in Oceania), Holloween is remarkably pervasive in the world of the 21st Century
And it is such a clarklike holiday
And we will not go on at length on the ‘why’ and ‘in what manner’.
New Readers? Gather a crowd of one hundred twenty-three in an auditorium. The challenge: identify the clarks in the crowd. Solution: Announce over the loudspeaker, “Show of hands, please. Would anyone prefer to be someone else?”
yeah
ok
enough pandering to the rogers and scotts.
PS the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine
- clarks (the Outsider) the world is ‘out there’, you are…here but don’t let anyone know
- scotts (the Predator) the world is hunter and hunter and there ain’t no tomorrow… and yesterday? cold kill, not appetizing
- rogers (the Herd Member) the world is perfect, your appreciation and enumeration of it’s details is proof… tell others
there we go
a little (clarklike) traveling music?



Fabulous song.
A cold roast beef sarnie with freshly grated horseradish is pretty difficult to walk away from, in my scottian peckish way.
lol
And some of the costumes really are “out there” these days.
this is very true
(the thing I remember about costumes was how the ghost sheet would get soaking wet from my breathing in, like, the first 20 minutes lol)
I like the song. And enjoyed the pointed humor on the marionette. Its without any costume and cold for this double edged season.
me too!
clarks know on a body level, what is meant by “the world out there”.
“… and yesterday? cold kill, not appetizing” scotts got no yesterday😆
and the thing is, clark are separate. I guarantee scotts and rogers don’t think of the world as being something distinct and separate from themselve
