Where did Da Stranger go? Further on down the trail?

Gone to set up his own version of Dudeism (True Dudeism) based on the original film script.

Congratulations guys we've achieved true religious status we've just had a theological splinter group split from the main body.

Woot, pop the champagne!

Pass the J, we're in the big time now.

An offering for some Dude-healing

Flight of the Conchords is very Dude!

Oh finally that all makes sense.

I was wondering what you were blathering about.

I didn't get the Concords when I first saw it but they have definatly grown on me.

[cakebelly]

  Yeah, I blame . . erm, well me, I guess (too much Tinariwen & Thai inspired mind-dancing).
In all, a righteous Discordian thread and/or a lesson in the art of Abiding.

"The Flight Of The Conchords" are indeed a very Dudely duo  (well worth seeking out the two seasons on DVD - I rarely, if ever, encourage folk to buy anything but in this case I happily make an exception); we can learn (and perhaps adopt some of their songs as Dudeist Psalms) a great deal from our lay-brothers and sisters. For example, here is Brett uncharacteristically angry - he has his own way of dealing with anger (and it may be too energetic for most Dudes - but we can adapt):

Issues of interest.

Perhaps  if  I  punctuated  every  post  like  this  people  wouldn't  take  it  quite  so  personally  .

I've had flashbacks that looked like that. Far fucking out, man!

Well, this thread was a little gem I missed last year... how relevent this all seems to the hot topic of the moment.

Just goes to show my stance on the Lebowskiist issue isn't a new one, and there have been some rather grumpy sods around in the past (DaStranger, not Meekon, I mean [kinda ].

I'd like to say that this entire thread goes hand in hand with my point about "Moving Dudeism Forwards" and letting it evolve away from being too tied to TBL, so we don't have these sorts of angry folks slinging hurtful words at our beloved compeers.  I'm not saying there's a literal connection, but... Hells bells, I've done gone and Lebowskiified my anti-lebowski sentiment
