New Nominations

[Krazy Kat]

Just off the top of my head: Allen Ginsberg, Beck, Bill Hicks, Bob Marley and Krazy Kat. All of them for reasons I hope are so obvious, they render explanations superfluous.

I suggest Nick Nolte in New york stories he was a dude.
Iam an italian dude from Rome.
The best of the three is Scorsese's "Life Lessons", about an artist (played by Nick Nolte) who uses his hyper-success to lure beautiful, young, aspiring artists to serve as his assistant/lovers. It's an astute portrait of the nature of the New York art world..
Bella!

Edgar Buchanan - Uncle Joe on Petticoat Junction

[El Duderino]

Dominic Byrne, member of the Chris Moyles team and Radio 1 newsreader.



OK so he doesn't have long hair, dress in pyjama bottoms or a milk moustache, but in an environment of chaos he always keeps his hair (what's left of it) and always takes it easy for the rest of us sinners.

Sup fellow dudes....

Stumbled across this and had to put my two cents in.  Bob Ross, 'cause life is just fluffy white clouds, and its your world.  If you want a happy little tree there, then there's a happy little tree there.

[Duderonomy]

I second Bob Ross.

Also, I would like to nominate Jack Handy who is in fact, a real person.

Hi Dude

great site thank you.

But you is missing some very BIG dudes like

Cheech & Chong  (Cheech Marin & Tommy Chong)

Tommy Chong went to prison in real life to save his son and wife from going in his place (it was about selling glass bongs over US borders)

Quote:-
"In 2003, Chong was targeted by two American investigations code-named Operation Pipe Dreams and Operation Headhunter, which sought out businesses selling drug paraphernalia, mostly water pipes. He was charged for his part in financing and promoting Chong Glass/Nice Dreams, a company started by his son Paris. Chong agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute drug paraphernalia in exchange for non-prosecution of wife, Shelby, and his son."

Quote:-
"Marijuana

Chong has an unabashed love of marijuana. He used to say "I get high constantly! If you smoke pot, eat well and work out, I guarantee you'll live forever." Chong is also a marijuana activist and is a supporter of marijuana legalization & medical use of marijuana."

[JoeDude]

Edgar Buchanan - Uncle Joe on Petticoat Junction

As and Uncle Joe myself I have to applaud this choice .

[SilverFoxKnows]

I'd like to put in a word for Ngo Van Chieu, the founder of the Cao Dai religion, which basically asks "Why can't we just be cool to each other?". He left a life in public office to take it easy. And when a religion sprung up from his vision (no mention of what Chieu's sacrificial beverage was) and he was placed in a position of responsibility he quickly gave up that position to, once again, take it easy. Vietnam's First Dude.
