How do we recognise another Dude on the street?

[Sailing Dude]

Well all the Dudest ministers I know live on their sailboats either in a marina or at anchor somewhere in front of a 10 million $ house, so I guess a hardy AAARRGGGGGG and a pirate flag is our symbols. I have never seen a boat flag for Dudism other than my LETS JAM flag or Jolly Rodger.

We are getting ready for a tax deductible Dudeism missionary trip up the coast to Alaska and need to make up a Dudeism mission flag, any ideas ?

[Rev.Wendy aka The Dude a-Rides]

I find my Dudeist bumper stickers work very well. (slapped on a dusty, breaking-down island beater )
I also have a bumper sticker that says "OH, EVOLVE."
THAT one cracks ppl up. I've had it on my last three beaters. (so, four years now in total)

  My friends describe me as "chill". I find that funny sometimes but really i think your whole aura and attitude will just radiate your  Dudeness and if anyone asks , you can bring up the whole Dudeism thing you have going on.

I'll try to put the sticker on my bicycle, I don't have a car.

I was walking into Walmart a couple of months ago and there was a guy wearing a big lebowski T-Shirt with a picture of the dude on it. So while he was walking out I simply said "The Dude Abides", or maybe I said "I abide", either way, somebody was abiding, and he got all excited and was like "YEAHHH!!!"!

So I think that's a universal dude term, "Abide"

...Abide.  Nice and simple. I like that.

Abide is pretty great.  It's near and dear to our hearts and it's nondescript enough to not cause spectacle.

EDIT:  Also, it opens up a lot of personalization.

[DigitalBuddha]

Well, dude, we just don't know. Odds are they won't be carrying a sign............



That's one of the righteous things about dudeism; anyone can be a dude no matter what you look like.

[Abideist]

I don't recall the dude or walter shaking hands or doing any gesture, and I'm not big on it either.  

I dig the abide thing though.

[pazuzu66]

just walk  and yell out take it easy dude but that depends on where are u living

[Rev. Ed C]

Each Dude walks his own path.  There were Buddha's before Siddartha, and Dudes before The Dude.  As we keep proving in South Central UK, you just look for the only guys with the beards!  It's an unspoken bond, a dudely aura, a universal knowing...

[meekon5]

It's a bit of obvious when theres a few of us are in the pub together.

A gaggle of bearded Dudests.

[Rev. Ed C]

Is that a gaggle, or a growth of bearded men?
An abidance of Dudeists, is the one I already came up with, so.

I actually have a hobby for doing these group name things and have a growing list of such (inspired by an old Alas, Smith & Jones sketch).

Such as:
A reoccurrence of Buddhists
A rejoicing of Hare Krishnas
A perseverance of Jews (and a wince of circumcised men)

I just hope that last night we didn't become an annoyance of public drunks.

This list goes on, and on.... and on.

[forumdude]

An accordance of Dudeists?

An abutment of Dudeists?

A nomenclature of Dudeists?

A bunch of fucking Dudeists?

A deadbeat of Dudeists?

A ringer of Dudeists?

A Creedence of Dudeists?

So many possibilities...
