Do you prefer a tattoo? On the forehead?

I had that written on my forehead at the last fest, along with a rug poncho

I dont know if I would want to belong to an organization that has identification cards. Well other than my Ralphs card.

To miss quote Marx (Groucho not Karl) "I don't want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member in the first place!"

groucho also said, and I quote:
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
Groucho Marx

Ewww that is so un-dude. Groucho was uptight.

It seems to have been a good fest.

whats the word on these things?

i'm currently upgrading the site so that i can divide some orders between my assistant in los angeles (the city of angels) who ships out the certificates and such, and stuff i want to mail from thailand, like the ID cards, and some other cool new shit (awesome WWDD bracelets, solid silver yin yang bowling ball pendants, a woven dudeoo (dudeist voodoo) doll, etc.).

plus, we're also going to offer Abide University student ID cards so you dudes can get discounts on movies and flights and what have you. Masters Degrees in Leisure Studies, Dudeism, Philosophy, Ethics, etc. will be available for free through the site (printed certificates will cost a bit, naturally) and Ph.Ds (and honorary faculty appointment) will be awarded to anyone who sends in a convincing thesis for publication (certificates in this case will be free). We were going to call it Dude University but figured no one would take us seriously.

unfortunately the goddamn plane keeps crashing into the mountain. i upgraded the site last week to some nice new servers and suddenly i couldn't change anything. strong men also cry.

anyway, good news is that that's all up and running. bad news is it's entering the slash and burn season in northern thailand and i need to run away from the smoke for a few weeks (they burn the dried up rice fields to fertilize the new ones here in the land of thai stick). good news is i'll be on a tropical beach drinking cheap rum for a while. bad news is i won't be able to mail anything till i get back in mid-march. good news is i'll have internet access. bad news is i'll probably be asleep and/or drunk a lot.

so hopefully by mid march we'll have those ids ready to go!

thanks for the interest, dudes. sorry for the slow pace on my end.

the goddamn plane crashed into the mountain again. sorry for the 15 hour downtime! while i slept, darkness warshed over. i hope things will be smooth from now on.

fucking computers. nothing changes.

i highly recommend not using 1and1.com as your domain registrar. their technical support was abysmal.

forumdude - have you decided on the university name for sure? Perhaps you and some of the other reverends have gone into seclusion and discussed this already, but I would like to suggest a longer name. I think a longer name may represent legitimacy to the fuckin amateurs who have not heard of Dudeism. Plus there may be a acronym in the name other than AU.
If you have already beat this to death in a different thread, so be it, but here are my suggestions
Throw in a word like Guild, National or Academy, that may carry a little Pasadena style: (home of CalTech IIRC)

Abide National University
Academy of Leisure National University
Abide International Guildhall University
Abide Academy University. (now we can say we have been through AA)
Abide Philosophy National University
Philosophy of Leisure National University
Philosophy National University System

Anyway like thats uh, just like my opinion man. Anyone care to add?

forumdude · February 15, 2010, 09:32:16 AM

that's fuckin interesting, man. do you think people won't take 'abide university' seriously? i think it sounds pretty believable, especially since the christians use that word all the time. i'd like it to be cool sounding but not too obvious that it's not a real physical university. dude university sounds cool but no one would believe it. the ones you've suggested might sound more authentic, but they don't sound all that hip. at least not to my shabby sense of style.

anyone got any opinions on NEAL's suggestion?

DigitalBuddha · February 15, 2010, 02:16:46 PM

Dudeversity.

RevWade · February 15, 2010, 11:59:57 PM

I think Abide University is gold! AU= chemical symbol for gold!
