Hey, i'm new... kinda.

Hey there fellow dudes!

I just thought i'd say hey since it's taken me this long to actually join the forum :L
I first became a Dudeist in 2007, but it isn't until about 8 months ago that it started to become a real big role in my life. I'd been at college in the UK studying Music Technology, enjoying gigs and my friends, and life just seemed good and easy going, and I stumbled upon Dudeism again.

From then it just clicked into place how I had been living my life as a Dude and I hadn't even been trying that hard. I guess it had subconsciously stuck with me from 2007 and I turned to taking it easy, keeping things simple and dudely in my life so that I could cope with them. It was what I needed, a way of living for my time and place in life.

Since then I let a few friends know about Dudeism one night, and they all decided to ordain then and there. From then on I told a few more friends, and so on and so forth, until setting up "The Church of the Latter-Day Dude - Bury St. Edmunds".
We celebrated The Day of the Dude in style, hanging out in our dressing gowns, reciting The Dude's Prayer, and drinking White Russians. And gathering on various occasions and what not.

Within the last few weeks I received my official ordination certificate and bits, as well as ordering TBL Kit, and have my physical copy of The Dude De Ching on its way to me. It's fun, and it's perfect for me right now. My life couldn't be better. Far out man.
Well that's enough about me, i've been rambling for some while.

Fuck it man, you were just too fucking busy writing your own shit and fuck reading what every other dude writes....

Cool!

Let me start again dude. Welcome to the forum.

There is no sarcasm font or I would have used it in my first post.... I did say cool at the end of that line so you may have noticed I was joking! (clearly didn't work!)

There is absolutely no unchecked aggression going on here man.

I am sorry if that is how my welcome came across....really sorry dude...cos that is not me at all.

Pull up a rug...smoke em if you got em have an oat soda...chill man and welcome dude.

Peace always.

You can't have read too much of the forum, all we do is spam each others threads here! (Or is that just me).

Welcome, any rug in the place, bars over there.

Small point can we stop pushing the dudes Prayer thing, I refer you to my extensive rantings here:

http://dudespaper.com/review-much-ado-about-lebowski.html/.

It's just further insidious infiltration of the form before content lebowskist's.
