because this is fun and because no one wrote in to ask us to stop

February 12, 2010 By

(ed. note the following installment of the CSR 101 series was written by Downspring AKH with the guidance and encouragement of Downspring#1.  Go! Downsprings!)

(the Wakefield Doctrine (welcome back to CSR101 class…)

I want to introduce this Post. …Because…I’m the construct that has stepped out on her own, that’s why!  That’s not true!  they all know who I am, I am in block quotes and blue font, after all. As if!  In my sleep, lol, sure I get it…’substitute’ Teacher… really?  that’s too bad I hope he gets back soon.  lol of course I can handle a scottian author…’Janie Sullivan to un-inspired blog creator’ unlimited character here!
The previous scottian writer?… offensant pour moi?  lol!  of course not,  he was funny…what?  oh all the time…Let’s let the editor guy get this done so we can all get back to the Planet Earth…nah I like her…well she is a scottian female…I would expect nothing less…no, not as old as those other people…oh yeah! I’m with Jimmy on that…smokin! shh  shh  here comes Principle Clark.  Yeah…I don’t know! maybe the Readers (who ever they are) liked the last fake class room premise…well they are blog readers…you know what they say about blog readers…lol hadn’t heard that one.  Hey- who is that with Principle Clark? Oh man another substitute Teacher premise…’Janie to creative writing department’…Code Blue guys Code Blue…lol

Principle Clark:  Your regular Teacher is on a short sabbatical, (no, Britney that has nothing to do with his religion),  so for today we have a substitute Teacher.
Class, this is Ms. AKH and she will be teaching your CSR 101 class for the remainder of the month or until we find a permanent substitute.  I know you will all like her and give her all the respect and attention that you give your regular Teacher.  (Miss Sullivan?  Did you have something to say?  I didn’t think so.)  OK then… Ms. AKH?

Ms. AKH:  Good morning!  Everyone!  How are you doing today?  Am really excited to be here.  You know, as I was walking into class, who is the first person I see but that weirdo Janie that Glenn Miller and Roger were telling me about in my class.  That’s just fucking great.  Hey!  Just messin with ya! Really!  We are all going to have fun and if we’re not careful you might even learn something.  Hey relax!  Lighten up, what are you all?… a bunch of old people?  Here we go.
Good morning class and welcome to CSR 101.  My name is Ms AKH.
Excuse me…What’s your name?  Britney?  Yes, you have pretty name.  Thank you.  I like my shoes too.  Ok class, let’s get focused.  This semester we’ll be covering the Wakefield Doctrine. Anyone familiar with the WD? Anyone?
Janie?  I wasn’t sure if you heard me.  Please put your headphones away.
You, in the back.  What’s your name?  Well Jimmy, let’s get this straight.  First of all my personal life is none of your business and secondly it is very inappropriate to tell your teacher that she’s hot.  What??  One more comment like that Jimmy and you’re out of here to see Principal Clark.  Oh really.  And what is your coach going to say to me?  That you suck?  That you can’t even get on the starters bench?  So sit down and shut up.  (shit this is going to be a long semester.)
Alright then, can we please get back to why we’re here?  Our class will be based on the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine also referred to as the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers which is premised on the idea that we all have a different experience of the world and those around us.  This perspective or perception is based on one of three personalities.  These are the clarks, scotts and rogers which I will be going into further detail about.
Learning to identify the three will unfold over the next few weeks.  To understand the Wakefield Doctrine is to understand these 3 distinct individual types.  It is important to be aware that we all have the traits of all three, the potential to be a clark, scott or roger.  However, one is predominant and this is the one that makes you a clark, scott or roger.
OK class!  How do we spot a clark. Very funny, Miss Sullivan. They are by far the most difficult to understand/relate to.  Often quiet loners, they tend to keep to themselves.  However, don’t mistake their seemingly disinterested veneer as implying that they are unaware or even aloof.  In actuality, the clarks command attention without saying a word.
Yes Jimmy?  You want to be a clark because you think that clarks sound cool?  Well, I can tell you right off the bat that you’re not cool and you’re not a clark.  By standing up and proclaiming this you are telling the class which of the three you are…ok class anyone want to tell us what Jimmy here is?  No Britney! While I may agree with you, that is not one of the three types we are talking about.  (And if there were such a thing, I doubt it could fly, lol)  Ok Jimmy sit down, you are a scott.  Always seeking attention.  But we’ll go into that later.  So sit down and be quiet.  Maybe you’ll learn something today (like that’s gonna happen).
OK back to the clarks.  They are the creators.  The intellectuals.  Constantly striving for more knowledge.  Now do you understand why you’re not a clark Jimmy?

In contrast, there are the rogers.  They have a group mentality.  Herds if you will.  They are not attracted to “outsiders.”  This goes against their grain. Rogers are content with themselves.  It is the status quo that keeps them passive and therefore willing to accept being part of a “sameness.”  Any who stray outside of the herd are viewed as being dangerous to the tranquility of the mundane.  Keep in mind that these are not necessarily bad traits.  They are the glue that holds society together.  Without them, the world would become a very unstable place.  Unlike clarks, rogers are not confrontational  Whereas clarks welcome a seemingly “innocent” spar at any given time.
Britney, would you please wake up Janie?  Her snoring is distracting the class.  Thank you.

On to the scotts. These guys and gals are the epitome of ego.  Unlike any of their counterparts, they seek and crave attention.  They make themselves the center of attention, whether it be at a party or an office meeting.  Their main purpose/objective is to make sure that they establish themselves as being superior in any given group.  And they prey on rogers, viewing them as easy targets by which to inflate their insatiable ego.
Oh for Christ’s sake Jimmy, what is it now?  You read that scottian women are extremely hot and sexy and that’s why you think I’m a scott?  Give that man a prize!  You finally got something right.  Didn’t think you had it in you. OK class.  I think that’s enough for one day.  See you next week.
…oh Jimmy…

..done now?  man I thought this would never end…no, I think she knows her Doctrine, but those scottian Teachers…inappropriate much?  her not as bad as that old guy last week…what was his name…something to do with trumpet…no, Britney flutes are not made of…lmao…anyway where is Mr. B?  he is the only one to get us out of this …Hey! aren’t those the Slovenian exchange students?..let’s go say hi…come on Britney…no I think Jimmy stayed after class to help Ms. AKH with something…lol I bet she would lol.

then a video is worth 10 million words

February 9, 2010 By

You know this is not just about music videos and clever Posts and cultural references…you do know this, don’t you?

This is about the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) which lest we forget is described in all the blog lists I can sign us up for as:
          

‘the Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, effective and fun way to understand those around us, at home and at work and at play. Finally you will understand why people behave the way they do…’

Sometimes the effort to make these Posts clever and amusing takes us away from this ‘mission’.  But we are back on track now, aren’t we…

WTF Miss Bonnie and the magic mirror!! (To younger readers…early days of TV lots of programing directed at the 3 to 7 year old demographic, scheduled either early morning (Romper Room School came right after Captain Kangeroo) and late afternoons with cartoon based programs like Popeye the Sailor (if that is not a future Post,  lol).  Anyway, all very primitive programming, as opposed to say American Idol or the Biggest Loser.)

So what can we learn about the Doctrine by watching this clip? (You know, by now I really should not have to tell anyone what the lessons are.) 
Alright…how does the clarklike child react? how about the scottian 5 year old or the rogerian pre-schooler?  The answer provides a way to understand the Doctrine….

Not all at once….

OK.   You people can just sit there and stare at the screen…and when you have the answer  write it in the Reply section…you know the place where it says “Leave a Reply’?

Or is that too vague for you scott? yeah, yeah roger I know how too terribly busy you are right now…clark? no! god forbid you should write something and have people think that you don’t know what you are writing about….

well…fine  I can sit here all damn day….

(To any new Readers, not to worry there is plenty of content in the previous Posts and of course in the Pages of the blog itself).  Please, make yourself at home, browse through the content, lots of videos…love the Lady Gaga one…)

(Oh! hey Pixieblonde!  Glad to see you could make it…remember you promised to leave a Comment)

(…no Janie, nothing you can do, these people need to step up and make an effort to contribute to this thing of ours.)

Whats that Mr. B.?  You are too good hearted, I don’t think they deserve more free entertainment…but if you are willing to…go ahead

let’s join our class, already in progress

February 7, 2010 By

(Hi.  A little ‘set-up’ for today’s Post.  The Progenitor roger has established an on-going series of Posts subtitled1 ‘CSR 101’, which has somehow ‘given existence’ to:  a high school by the name of Millard Fillmore High; b) an AP (advanced placement) class on the Wakefield Doctrine; c) and students, Janie Sullivan, Britney (Janie’s bff) and Jimmy (a scottian underachiever).
I know, I know!  This was not in the plan.  That being said any and all means and manner of presentation of  the Wakefield Doctrine to the Readers will be utilized.  Lighten up, this is kind of fun! 
Anyway….what follows is a ‘Lecture’ on ‘Leadership and the Wakefield Doctrine’ written by an actual scott.  Downspring Glenn).

[So, let’s stand here in the back of the class…I see Principle Clark, (hey, did you really think I was going to sit this one out? with a scott center stage? nfw…lol), he is about to address the class].. 

Principle Clark:  Class?  Today we have a special treat, we have Glenn Miller, a leading Trainer in the field of employee benefits and management who will give us a talk on the Wakefield Doctrine and Leadership! (No, Jimmy he is not replacing your regular Teacher.  Britney? no I don’t believe he will be giving a test at the end of the class.  Would someone get Miss Sullivan’s attention?  Janie!  Please turn off the laptop, iphone and all the rest of your technology.  Thank you.)

Principle Clark:  Mr.. Miller?  They’re all yours.

Glenn Miller:…Hi everyone.  My name is Glenn Miller and I’m here to talk about leadership and the Wakefield Doctrine.  Principle Clark, if I may ask… 

Principle Clark: (Excuse me, Glenn) “Yes?  Miss Sullivan? Yes, there will be time for questions at the end…  Mr.. Miller says that you are free to interrupt with questions at any point…no, Jimmy that does not mean you are free to walk around…” (Sorry for the interruption.)

Glenn:  Anyway…Leadership.  Let’s talk about how what you are learning in this class on the Wakefield Doctrine will help you become effective leaders.

Management is not leadership—and leadership is not management.  Not all good managers are good leaders.  Not all good leaders are good managers.

Management is for the rogers.  It involves “hitting all the marks”—crossing the tees, posting the schedule, taking attendance, quantifying performance measures—you know boring rogerian shit like that.

(Pardon me Principal Clark..Oh the language?  My bad.  Of course!)

Glenn:  Rogers are great at paying attention to details and knowing and following policies and procedures, in other words being managers.  Leadership, however is scottian. Management makes people accountable.  Leadership inspires people—energizes them.  With effective leadership, the people under you won’t just do what they are supposed to do—they will WANT to do it—and more.  A group with strong leadership is more productive and unified.  It is more comfortable.  Good leaders actually have an easier time than managers.

(Yes?  Janie?  Which one are you?  I’d say you’re a scott.  See? That’s leadership.  You’ve got my attention.   Principle Clark?…I’m sorry, of course it’s just that it’s so distracting…of course. You’re right.  Highly inappropriate.) 

Glenn:  So class:  How do leaders effectively communicate with subordinates?
              yes?…Jimmy isn’t it?  No, Jimmy it does not depend on how hot they are…
             Britney?…no, it does not depend on how hot you are…  
              Miss Sullivan…care to take a stab at the question?…what? of course I will call you Janie…
Of the class, Miss…er Janie here was the closest to knowing the correct answer….anyone know why?

Leaders: 

  • provide frequent and meaningful performance feedback.
  • MBWA—Management By Walking around—They gotta see you if you want them to follow you.
  • Ask them for their opinions—doesn’t mean you gotta implement their suggestions, but ask them.  Makes the little creatures feel so valued.
  • Emphasize the positive—all the time.  Give them a “reputation”.  Make them believe that you believe in them and that they are an elite team. 

A good leader will always:
                                    Praise in public.  Do not worry about patronizing or embarrassing them.  If the employee is a clark, he will need the praise because clarks often doubt themselves. If the employee is a roger, he will feel that “Finally! Someone sees the sacrifices and suffering I endure to get this work done..”  If it is a scott, he will resent the praise as in “who the hell are you to tell me how I’m doing?  I’ll praise YOU”.   But if you persist and keep praising, the  dominance messages will be sent—and the scott will grow comfortable and even eager to follow you. 
                                     Negative feedback in private.  Leaders do not bully or humiliate people.  (Unless it’s just for fun).  But if you want people to follow you, they must see you as someone who will protect their dignity.

Finally  –(This one is hard)—Find something to like and admire about every one of your subordinates—Hard for a scott.  But totally necessary. 
(Janie?  Already know what I like and admire about you.  Yes.  I will be available after class for..questions.)
Let’s wrap this up and do a couple of other points for you before we end today’s class.

Leadership can be lonely.  Scotts are lone hunters, but also pack animals.  So, when you assume a leadership position in an organization you will LOSE your former relationships with your colleagues.  For a roger, this can be devastating.  Membership in the herd is everything to a roger.  But if you hold a position in which YOU decide who gets promoted, who gets a raise,  Etc…you can no longer be a friend.  It just doesn’t work.  You may find yourself left out of conversations.  The room goes silent when you walk in.
For a roger, this is the most difficult adjustment following a promotion.
For a clark—the room already goes silent when you walk in. No adjustment needed.
For a scott—the silence means they respect (and maybe just a little fear) me.  That’s a good thing. 

Principle Clark:  OK class.  Mr. Miller has a busy schedule time for only a couple of questions… 

Glenn:  oh..alright Jimmy? …  how to deal with your coach…why you are not on the starters bench?  You are not a starter because …you suck, frankly.  Sports is a very scottian world.  If you could help the team win, you would start.  If you are a scott, you would accept this and enjoy knowing your place in the pack.  If you are a roger, you will feel hurt and victimized.  If you are a clark—you only play sports that are played by one person.  (Teams do not interest clarks.)   

Yes, Britney?   How kind of you to say, Britney… You’re right, Britney.  Principal Clark is a dedicated protector of decency and good taste…He’s not much fun, but he does “police” this environment and stamp out indecency every chance he gets—the prick.  Did I say that out loud or just think it?  No, age is not really a significant factor in the application in the Wakefield Doctrine? oh sure, ask him the question directly…

What’s that Britney?  Yes, I have noticed Janie back there.  Yes.. Uh –uh.  Well I’ll tell you this…The second thing that comes to mind is that she probably ought not to wear such a short skirt in school.  The first thing?  I don’t think Principal Clark would like me to answer that question.

Principle Clark:  Okay!  Class, let’s all thank Mr. Miller for his time and expert opinions. 

So there we have it.  Another attempt to communicate the Wakefield Doctrine…
Let’s have a show of hands now…who wants to see this ‘device’ used again? (We have AKH in the wings ready to present the Doctrine to our favorite little class, in the guise of a Student Teacher no less!)

At the bottom of this page is a place for Reply/Comment.   If you write: “Stop it!  For the love of all that is decent and good in the world, please stop this class room thing”, we will take it under advisement.

PS:  I was speaking to a Reader (of the Doctrine) whose opinion I value and I asked about making a Comment, she said that she would, but had a little concern about appearing un-informed about the Wakefield Doctrine.  To which I replied, ‘Pshaw, you are most qualified and should not have this concern’.  That she is most likely a clark may be a factor which is not to say that you rogers out there shouldn’t take a chance on totally humiliating yourselves before the population of the world (or at least the 25 regular Readers of the Doctrine.)

So, come on down!  Write stuff.  Otherwise you risk making Janie unhappy and none of us want that.

Do we?

Mr. B?  This has been a challenging Post to produce, can you give us some simple, fun music to go out on?

1. All Posts follow the same naming convention: ‘the Wakefield Doctrine’ followed by a subtitle in parenthesis; the fun is in the subtitle.

ready as this audience that’s coming here to dream

February 2, 2010 By
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8YpOM7LVew

Hello and hooray from yours truly, Downspring #1.  If you don’t get the gist of my intro, not to worry.  At least you know you are not a clark.  Think of reading the Wakefield Doctrine like being in second year Spanish class with Mr. M.  You don’t need to speak English, you are here to speak Spanish.  Here we speaks the Doctrine……

With that in mind,   I’ve decided to suit up today.  That’s right – 3 piece.  (Yes Glenn, you love the tie.  Now assume the position.)  Where was I?…. Oh yeah….I have noted some frustration at the Wakefield Doctrine in the absence of comments from readers outside the sphere of those who contribute on a fairly regular basis.  Why the silence?

I do not think it is so much that readers don’t understand the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers but rather that readers just may not have confidence (yet) to make a statement on a worldwide platform and then find out – oops! I got it wrong!  No one wants to embarrass themselves in cyberspace, especially clarks (that’s correct – clarks do not possess high confidence levels. You can read all about clarks on the clarks page can’t you.)  Perhaps before making any misstatements, readers are simply boning up on the Doctrine. (No Glenn, I did not give you permission to laugh.)

 I find the more I read, the more I remember that which I have known – there are 3 distinct ways to view the world.  Reading the Wakefield Doctrine not only reminds me of that but actually validates the whole damn thing –  anyone can recognize, react to and even anticipate another’s behavior based on how that person interacts with the world.

Since the majority of Posts are written by the Creator clark, it takes no giant leap for me to understand all that is being said (you picked up that I am a clark by now, right?!).  Sure he can ramble, sure there are the obscure references to….just about anything but there is method to the madness (or is it madness to the method.)  All roads lead to the clark.  Whatever.  The point is (the) clark speaks most loudly to clarks just as (the )Roger undoubtedly speaks most loudly (and soothingly) to all the many, many rogers out there.  The Progenitor Roger’s Posts are amusing, easy to read and most importantly they are comfortable and relaxed – like getting co-ozy on a cold winter day.  No worries.  If we all do what we are supposed to do then it’s all good.  That leaves us with the scotts in the house.  (Stand up Glenn) 
There is no doubt in my mind that the comments contributed by the aforementioned scott would do anything but confirm that scotts rule!  But seriously, Glenn has had a couple of decades of this clark, scott, roger thing under his belt to know of which he speaks.  Or swears.

So what do we know.  A clark thinks (and thinks), they stand alone, scotts act and act out (and swear while doing it) and generally tell others what to do; rogers feel (deeply and with commitment), they unite and promote harmony (2 part, 3 part all the better).

Can’t believe it took me all these words to say:  we just want to keep reading Posts and Comments that validate this shit is for real. Look a little closer. You’ll see that it is.

Indulge me in a clarklike moment – take the movie Casablanca . (Who has not heard of that movie?) Who wouldn’t say that Rick Blaine is a clark, or that Victor Laszlo is a roger of the highest order.  And Captain Renault (Louie)? A scott?  What do you think?

reading is FUN- damental

February 1, 2010 By

WARNING!   WARNUNG!   AWERTIMENTO!   AVERTISSEMENT!  OPOZORILO!   WARNING!
(bad Post writing ahead*)

(*I mean bad writing of a Post not necessarily a Post that is without merit**)

(**thought I should clarifiy that***)

(***…about the writing I mean)

 

Hello.

This is the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) blog.

The Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, fun and effective way for you to understand  those around you, at home, at work, at school and at play. This Doctrine contains principles that sound like any one of a hundred quirky little personality ‘thumb nail sketches’ that turn up in the back of TV magazines and at the bottom of the last page of a tabloid, right below the astrology column and the diet to the Stars features. And at first glance  the Wakefield Doctrine seems as catchy and vacuous as any thing you will find in your local free newspaper. You know what I am going to say next.  So, there is no need to.

If you have decided to read a little bit more, this Post will cover two points: why you should read the rest of the content of this blog and what are the upcoming Posts going to be in the next week. (Coming attractions, if you will.)

Lets do this thing.

Doctrine  (dok trin) n.  A principle or body of principles presented for acceptance or belief, as by a religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma.
Wakefield(wayk feeled) n. A name for the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers picked simply because it sounded more credible than:  the theory of…

The Wakefield Doctrine maintains we all experience the world/reality differently and that our personalities arise from the particular way we experience the world. Further, the Wakefield Doctrine proposes that there three characteristic  perception of reality we all have can be grouped into three distinct types, called for reasons stated elsewhere, clarks, scotts and rogers. By understanding the reality, the world that an individual is reacting to, we can understand the choices they make (their behavior). What follows on these pages are various efforts to convey the application of the Doct

Hello? Helloo! Is this thing on? Hey you! This is Janie Sullivan, and I need your help. I am in the process of being written/created/developed/fleshed-out or whatever the hell they call it in Creative Writing 101 when a new character is created and added to the narrative. Yes, that Jane in Rogers CSR 101 class. Why thank you! Being referenced all of 3 times and being used as a totally lame narrative device does mean I must be totally special.
You think?  Nah, they’re both pretty harmless, but that clark guy is edging towards ‘spooky-ville’ what with his totally constant fixation on ‘need to write more, need to write different, need to get more Readers’!
“Clozaril spill on Aisle 4!” Jeez, reality is a bitch, huh?  The other one seems much nicer, the Teacher. Seems so friendly, no harm there. Except that Civil War thing…”21st Century paging Mr Roger, your hobby is being recalled by the gov’t, Department of Over-specialized Interests, due to the fact that the other guy wants to play with it.”
Anyway, as a newly created character, I am getting a lot of interest from both writers and them both being such WMOGs (well meaning old guys) I am worried about what the plan is for a back story for me… so real quick here is the basic:
Janie Sullivan, AP student at Millard Fillmore High am very popular :p, my gpa puts me in the top 1 percentile. My BFF is Britney and I have not yet decided whether to go straight (to college ;}) or to spend time travelling. You know me from my ‘function’ as a character in the CSR 101 series of Post created by roger as a device to explain the Wakefield Doctrine. Thats it.  A little 2 dimensional? ….Ya think?
(So here is what I am asking, sure this is all about the Wakefield Doctrine and how it will change how you see the world. But if you are reading this and want to indulge these people then give me a better back story. You know…total athletic talent, parents with interesting jobs and/divorce, something anything.)  Gotta go….AFK

(Wellll. Lets just quietly and quickly close this Post before we get reported to Amateur Writers Guild for crimes against creative constructs.)

Oh! oh! the second thing!

In the next week we should have a couple of Posts using Roger’s  CSR 101 storyline as the backdrop for both Glenn and AKH writing a Post!  Separately, that is, (Two scotts writing one Post? That’d be metaphysically absurd, (to steal a phrase from Firesign Theater).) It’s not that 2 scotts could not write one Post, its not even that they would fight. It is about the collateral damage…the effect on those around them as the requirement of dominance ranking exerted itself.
You know how when you are with one friend who is a scott? You have fun, the scott is always doing things, moving talking never, sitting still. Action for action sake. And you either go along for the (thrill) ride or you try to focus all that energy into some sort of deliberate effort that you can enjoy. (If you are a roger or a clark, respectively).  Well, ever notice that when a second scott enters the scene, everything changes? At first there is conflict between the two scotts (establishing dominance/submission rank), but after they have that worked out, all of a sudden there is this very aggressive scott running around getting into everyone’s face. That is the submissive scott. (Remember the Warner Brothers cartoon that had two dogs as characters? One was a large Bull dog (Spike), the other a small terrier-looking thing(never quite got the name). The plot always had the dominant scott (Spike) slapping the small dog for his efforts to impress Spike.  “Hey Spike!  I know what to do!!.  (sort of an aggressive, barely more intellectually-capable, but way more aggressive Lennie from ‘Of Mice and Men’).
Thats the change to the local social environment when you have 2 scotts working one area at the same time.  Not that much fun for the non-scottian people.

Anyway, look for a couple of Posts from these two. The ‘set-up’ will be essentially the same, guest lecturers/teachers in rogers class in the Wakefield Doctrine (CSR 101). Should be fun. 

REASSURANCE!   BERUHIGUNG!   RASSICURAZIONE!   RECONFORT!   POZAVAROVANJA!   REASSURANCE!
(Remembered good idea Glenn had*)

(*I agree, most ideas from a scott would not go in the comforting bin first off**)

(**I will tell you, let me get out of this ‘are-there-any-gimmacks-that-you-won’t-try?’ gimmack)

We were talking Saturday about the Doctrine, Glenn is always coming up with ideas for Posts, most crazy, some not crazy, a handful occasionally interesting. (Hey Spike! I got a idea for a Post!! I got one you’ll like to write!!!)  Anyway, the idea was suppose a clark tried to impersonate a scott (actually his words were ‘hey what would it sound like if a scott tried to do a roger? or a clark?). You get the idea.
Not a bad one at that.
Yes, clark, we know that we are already all three, predominance of one…yeah I read front page real good. But the value in the suggestion is the level of development in the person doing the ‘imitations’. As with so many things around the Doctrine, you will tell more about the person doing the experiment than the supposed point of the experiment.

Anyway I bring that up not to pat Glenn on the head (Good scott! Take a penny, please!). But to tie it to the coming Pos

HEY!  HEEY!  You are stuck with this corney ‘character-talking-to-imaginary-Readers-interupting-equally-imaginary-Narrators’ so listen up! ?People? (Janie here again), I think I  told you about the future for me, but as far as your precious little Wakefield Doctrine, no one has determined my ‘type’. Normally that would have been one the first things the writer would have set up. OH! Did I just use the word normal? Pardon me while I lmfao. Normal! Sheeit Look at your goddamn crooked feet. You got no ears on your cheeks at all. Just a hole like.
Well, if I am stuck acting out for the benefit of that bunch of wackos, then I reserve the right to decide which one of your precious 3 types…
…Nah,  maybe later.
Ta!     

This might be a good time for some music….Mr. B if you please….
