I abide therefore I am a dude.I encourage others to take it easy but I don't seek recognition.I just get satisfaction from helping others to become less uptight.Women tend to have trouble remembering my name so I just say call me anything as long as it is not late for breakfast.I'll leave the titles for others to apply.
If you believe you can tell me what to think.
I believe I can tell you where to go.

Even though I always perform any weddings I do for free, a recent couple felt in necessary to give me a gift. They had a beer mug engraved with the Dudeism symbol and proactively gave me the title "Vicar". So..I guess Vicar, because it's in glass and all. Seems like as good a reason as any.
From what is Dudeism trying to liberate us?Thinking that's too uptight.

To what state of being is Dudeism trying to bring us? Just taking it easy, man.

By what means does Dudeism attempt do this? Abiding.

Reverend. It showed up on the Compeers page one day for the Monastery of Nothingness. Who am I to debate signs from heaven?
I'm also okay with Dude-Jitsu Master... I am a black belt/instructor (sensei) in the Arts of Jiu Jitsu - so it kinda fits.

I was already a chaplain with another order so I just use Chaplain or Reverend. Saves time.

Would that make abiding folks in your circles a Jitduda then?
I like the sound of Reverend though. I might fill that out in the next census?

That guy

Honestly?  Don't matter in the long run.  I've got a few people I know who I'm coaching in the ways of dudeness since I've found it.  People like me who could benefit from the life style change in the same way I've been doing.  But we don't get all hung up on the titles man. 

I mean heck, if we really went by titles and looks I'd fall more into the Walter Category then Dude lol.  But I mean if I was to self describe it to anyone who were asking, or like... have to put it on official stationary?  Guess I'd have to buy a fancy desk for that though...

hmm sounds fancy that way

How's that mug suiting ya? And tell the happy couple thanks for their business, Vicar Dude. I give so many of the damned things away it is nice to make a sale from time to time.

Dead Thread, I know, but I'm surprised nobody uses "Brother."  It's not nearly as sanctimonious as "Father," comes without the authoritarian vibe, and ties us dudes together.

"Brother Chris" is good enough for me.

In high school, we had a teacher, Mr H Davis, who insisted we call him Bro Dave. He was one of the most popular teachers. I didn't have his class but saw him every day.

So "Bro" makes sense.

Havazhyol

Hey dudes. Since I'm studying Dothraki (maybe I'm not the only one here), I should try to find something.

There are no words for priest ou reverend in Dothraki, but there are for wizard or sorcerer, which would be the most acurate, litteraly. But sounds really undudistic, on its figurative way.

I think, if I'm the only dothrakophone here, The DothraDude, or Hav'Haf could work.

Havazhyol is a litteral translation of my name (Morgan, britanic name meaning born from the Sea), and haf is the adjective for calm. Yet, Hav'Haf sounds more like a cough than a name so....

If no one objects, I'm the DothraDude.
I'm the Dothradude, Dude.


Stumblin Stumbleweed

Stumblin', Rev. Stumblin' or Reverend Blind Papa Stumblin', if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
What the fuck are you talking about?

When filling out online forms that won't let you proceed without choosing a title, I use Rev.

In conversation I use minister or priest.

Hey You! also works.
