while we wait for the video to begin, please enjoy the following non-verbal discussion of the Wakefield Doctrine

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

Lets see now, ‘ picture is worth a thousand words ‘ … ‘ a penny for your thoughts ‘ … ‘ measure twice cut once ‘  ( ‘kay 17 photos times…carry the…(shit)…divide by….)  OK people! you all owe the Doctrine exactly $27.33  Now pay the hell up while the images are still fresh!

We hope you enjoyed our little diversion, and we want to thank all of the people above who so graciously contributed their images and/or likeneseses to our Post today. (Whatever the appropriate and most effective Disclaimer is….”yeah thats what we mean”) (Besides, the day comes when we have enough active Readership to show up on any of the above people’s radar, I will personally deliver a Wakefield Doctrine hat for their damn-celebrity-heads).

So! Did you get them all right?*  Write to us a Comment and we will annouce the winners!

calm down class, we really must get back to our lessons

Now I may and I may not start this Post with a “clever” remark about a (semi) famous painting.  In case I do, the (clever) remark is “I don’t know about you, but for some reason I thought ‘King Kong’.

So, it looks like everyone enjoyed the new Feature (…the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!) yesterday.  After you are finished here, go back there, I added  to that Post.  A music vid clip from the promo off the Food Network.  Anyone else noticing a trend here? (i. e. all the cool  music first hitting consciousness as a result of seeing commercials and promotions on “TV”) Whatever.  Readers seemed to enjoy “tG..tB Decide” but we are not done yet!  It needs to be decided which of the Cooking Shows cited are Good (and which) are Bad. (When? Why Right Now!! of course).

There was a question about which of the host cooks were which, you know, types (clarks, scotts and rogers) and since the invariant goal of each and everyone of these blogs is to present the Doctrine in such manner that a totally new Reader, after reading only one Post, would later that same day stop and think/say, “Damn that must be one of those scott type people that blog was talking about…(..,it was Winfield..no…Westfield Diners..or was it…Westchester Dinner Club yeah! those guys), they said that people were clark-something or nigerian…no rogerian!  That girl with the funny clothes does have a funny look in her eyes!  Wow I gotta go back to that site.”

This is all we are after.  This is the whole point to this Post.  This is the short-term goal of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) to help people see that when viewed from the perspective of the Doctrine, how people behave finally makes sense.  Pretty simple.
So remember today, when someone talks (to you)  like your very existance is a personal affront to them, no matter what the cause of the interaction…you are a clark and they are a rogerDon’t forget that when you are at work and the ‘supervisor type’ person comes by for the nine millionth frickin time and says, “hey babe when are we running off together” in a voice that I can hear…they are a scott and you are a roger or a clarkMake a note right now, that when you are finished sketching out the outline to your plan to finally change and you can’t wait to tell someone…you are a clark and (the first person you will tell) will listen sympathetically and interrupt you to say they have something important to do and (the second person) will stop you to tell you they heard this weird thing at work about three different people played each of the three stooges and there are teams that use the names of each, and how funny you they thought that person sounded telling and why not run away together? that’s one roger and one scott, thank you.
Then and only then is our job is done.

Hey! we got the Lesson of the Day out of the way early, no?  So, what do you want to do now?  Plenty of time…no, this is not a music video/facebook blog…nah, don’t feel like that…

The kids at Mill Fill? Vacationationing mostly.  Britney is doing the intern thing with the Differently-vantaged kids at Camp Rumplelake, Janie is still on Grand Tour and Jimmie (yeah, he is spelling it that way theses days)…finally finishing Summer School…

A poll? Sure why not.

The Cooking Show thing seemed to draw a lot of interest…let’s do another subject next week.  But be sure to go there and leave a Comment voting for your Pick of the Shows.  Will insert a Poll about the topic for the next “the Good…the Bad…Decide Right Now!!”

Wait!  Wait! having trouble placing Poll and vid, so let’s do the video first, then the Poll.

(Two types up there, both icons of varying degrees of fame…one clark and scott…if you cannot distinguish them you need to join Jimmie in Summer School, yo)

OK now our Poll

we can sing in the glow of a star that I know of

Hey, good news!  More and more the path of the Wakefield Doctrine in it’s second year is becoming clearer and more coherent.  We all have much to be proud of looking back on the last 12 months.  And the foundation built of (this pride) is shaping the efforts of the next 12 months.  Still a couple of weeks off so no need to spend too much time on the year ahead (yet!) but I know we are all very excited about the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers).

Of more immediate interest is the availability of and distribution of hats (for your damn head)!  The Doctrine Fashion Center is going to have quite a few ‘to die for’ fashion accessories in the coming months, but right now it is all about the hats.  Provided you do not live in: (the state of ) Washington, Florida or Rhode Island you are eligible for a ‘Free for a Founding Member’ hat.  Write an email to indicate your strong desire to be the first in your State, Country, Territory and we will find a way to ship you a covering suitable for the most visionary of heads.  One requirement!  If you accept a hat you must return a photo of (your excellent) hat taken in a setting/with a background that documents, validates and otherwise proves that you are where you claim to be.  A head under hat (in these photos) is totally optional. (If you are a clark, it is allowable for you to get one of your more attractive friends to model the hat (with their damn heads).

In the coming months you should see more Comments from a wider range of Readers, representing a more diverse viewpoint on the Doctrine, at least as far as the discussion of the very manifestations of the three types.  Look for an expanded “You might be a clarkscottroger” Page, as well as being able to search old Posts with more ease and facility.

This will be an exciting time for all of us here at the Doctrine and we are all up to the challenge to take this thing of ours to the next level.

But enough of that for today!  Today’s Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day is this

the Wakefield Doctrine Lesson of the Day?…hey,  you remember in school there was that one day (at the end of the school year)  when your teacher seemed almost like a real person?  Everyone in the school was just marking time until the official end of the academic year and there was a curious, never repeated balance in that last class of the year.  The teacher would talk like a regular person, answer questions that you knew they were not phrasing carefully in their head first and the other students in your class…they knew things were a little different but somehow they become more mature.  Cause you knew that the moment would not last, you would worry that someone would mess things up, but no one went overboard, none of the scotts pushed things too far…The moment seemed to have existed only in the last half of the last class of the whole year, but you still remember it…how people that you knew were able to act different and therefore be different, not just get older or smarter or more like something, just a better version of themselves.  You knew it wouldn’t last, but tell me that you didn’t really feel that maybe things could be better…

That’s it!….have fun………(clark …I know you will be taking extra classes this summer)…(scott we will see you…summer school…remember? class trip? the judge was quite explicit…summer school…no, don’t know what he meant by…”you have so much potential once you grow up and apply yourself”)…(roger…european backpacking?…sure we will hear from our little rogerian explorer, hey look at how sucessful David Byrne was once he smartened up and get rid of the dead weight)….
