since dudeism is a digital religion for most of us will never meet each other, surely the forum is our temple or mecca or what have you?

Or maybe a place of Dudeist fellowship? A Dudeist fellowship hall and family restaurant.

A Dudeist Mead Hall

I'm staying, finishing my wine...finishing my wine.

The Lord of the Pins:The Fellowship of the Dude?

Well done you win todays worst pun award, it did make me grimace when I read this.



Though thinking about it we do have enough Dwarven looking individuals to do the Hobbit.

As you know I'm pretty much for the idea of spreading Dudeism around and going with it in the physical world, so to say. And obviously I think that the Abide University and Abiding Centres are a fucking cool idea. But first we should probably arrive at a definition of what Dudeism is...First we need to lay down as simply as possible what Dudeism is (tenets, principles...) and then we should have clear guidelines about Dudeism Centres. I know it's boring but given that this is not 'Nam rules are needed. Just as the forum does to keep away spammers. Few simple rules and everyone is, and remains, happy.

Clearly, imdo.  

I definitely agree with everything in your post, but felt these points should be focused on.  Everything needed for a basic understanding of Dudeism is on the main site, but somehow it needs to be assembled into a single uncompromised first draft if Dudeism is to be seriously recognized as a legitimate religion by the uptight thinkers in our various governments worldwide.  I wonder if Dudes Benjamin and Eutsey thought it would be this exhausting when they started this...  

Edit:  Leave it to the new guy on the lanes to fuck things up.  After doing a little light reading in some of these threads, I now realize Forumdude is already well-versed in what it would take for Dudeism to become a legit religion, at least here in the U.S..  I take comfort in that, and have faith that it will happen if and when it should.  Until then, I'm just gonna keep takin' 'er easy for all the sinners.   

Rev. Al you're fucking correct again. And surely DL knows what to do and where Dudeism should go, our debates are anyway useful, I guess, to help having ideas and such, and to clarify our train of thoughts and keep it limber. At the end if he's the Tiger Dude there's a reason, even if these open the door to debating if we are golfers or caddies.  I'm kidding obviously.

Also I'd add that the uncompromised first draft on Dudeism should be useful also for "newcomers" or those who have never played golf to undestand what we are talking about. As you correctly say DL will do what's needed when it's needed. I guess he talks pretty often with the Stranger but wander if he prefers beer or sarsaparilla. 

Rev. Ed, the horse isn't dead, he's just chilling out a little.

I've always thought the Valhalla to be a pretty cool place to stay, free beers, viking ladies and so on, but the Lord of Pins could be another good concept. My beard is just a centimeter long as if longer my moustaches would interfere when I'm eating or drinking. Can I be half dwarf and half halfling? Or, given my preference for viking ladies just stick with Dudehirrims?

perhaps the heisenberg principle applies: by trying to fix or fully undertand one aspect of dudeism, we lose all understanding of the other parts.
is it not the nature of dudeism just to be ... and be happy with it? dude forbit we should examine it too closely and find it is naught but the perverse drug fuelled projeny of oliver

abide dudes.

Dudeism is ok the way it is. We all bring our past knowledge into our pristhood to spread the word and knowledge has no boundries otherwise were a dead ended society and start critizing and drawing lines in the sand this will not stand.

So are you trying to JUDGE Dudeist   I think in Dudeism that would not abide.
