The Duders (?) Worthy Fuckin' Dude Awards 2010

[cakebelly]

                                   



A diverting idea? Who, what, where, when in 2010 did you find yourself raising an eyebrow or glass in salute to the urban achievements of others? Equally, whom did you consider to be a prime example of a human paraquat? Duders to be awarded at the end of the year (or start of next year); give the thing a little time to build up some momentum. Maybe we can open up a new thread/page for each category. Let's try  and look beyond TBL.

Suggested categories:Literature (fiction and non-fiction) / Music (Blues/Rock/Alternative/Indie/World/Other) Environmentalism Science Art

Well you get the idea, I'm sure some Dudes can come up with some fun stuff - I'm a little 'funned' out. Some ideas on designs of the 'virtual' awards would be good, too.

Fuck it. Screw you guys, I'm going home.

MUSIC:  Tom Petty for MOJO!  The concert was awesome!

[Quaker Dude]

For the "Sticking it to the Man" Category, I choose that flight attendant who said "fuck it" to JetBlue (in the parlance of our times), nabbed a couple of oat sodas, and split for the nearest exit, taking his dignity with him.  Well...that, and a pair of testicles.

Captain Beefheart.

Fuckin'a it's about time someone got a real pro-pot campaign going.
It would be just our luck it becomes legal in 2013 just as the world ends!
Yeah, come to think of it, making pot legal would probably do it! 8^)

It's going to end in 2013? I did not know that.    Better get us a lane.

That's going to be a line (on the cover of the book) "Just in time for the end of the world". I thought the civilization (as we know it) was scheduled to end sometime in December 2012 - damn it, now I'm gonna have to buy Xmas gifts, after all.

If it's December 2012 I'm concentrating on zesty coitus as a new career move from now until then.

Speaking of which, have to give DB's Urban Achiever Award to this little dudette hotty for an awesome Lebowski costume...........

2012 is a huge misunderstanding of the Mayan calendar.

I do recommend this site.

Common misconception because the Mayan Calendar seems to end in 2012 they believed the world would end. Mayan culture unlike xian culture was (is) not apocalyptic (did not believe the world would end in some huge disaster).

The Mayan calendar does not actually end in 2012 but the current phase does, that is the 13th phase of a 20 phase cycle, which actually ends in 2,700 years. even then all that happens is you start again.

My own take on the 2012 thing is perfectly covered here:

Yeah, we were just rolling the laughs out there (there are one or two documentaries about that actually deal with the subject in a coherent way. Quite astounding these days - the press love to keep the sheep nervous). Personally I'm gonna start hanging around rich folk - come Dec. 2012 - and convince them that their last chance to get on board the Rapture train will be to give all their cash to me.

[Rev. Gary (revgms)]

Oh the Rapture game, my buddy gave me a book outlining a bunch of deals/scams to get rich off the Rapture. My favorite is a pet care service, "when you get called to heaven, you don't want your cats or dogs to go hungry or homeless. I already know I will not be going to heaven with you, so for a modest insurance premium I will go round up and feed your pets when you get raptured. Sign here please."

Of course, there's a book on the topic - what was I thinking, man? Have to get me a copy
