Here's a variation:

With or without the Holy Pee-stain.

just resurrecting this old topic looking at date of last post, did an id card ever get resolved?

[cckeiser]

Nope.

I think the ID cards should be done in the same colors as the bumper sticker and the iron-on patch.

Make the card dark purple with light green lettering and put that classy Yin/Yang bowling ball logo over in the corner and you've got it made.

Is this a dead idea?

Is this a dead idea?

I don't think so; I was hoping for one that said "Rev. DigitalBuddha, Ordained Strumpet."

Men, there's a reason why the forumdude is the forumdude. Thailand is part of the rug that ties this big room together, if you know what I mean. 

The fuck you talkin' about?

isn't the founder, his Dudely Lama, Oliver Benjamin, also in Thailand? I seem to recall reading in the CNN interview that convinced me Dudeism was the right religion for me, that he first had his epiphany that prompted him to start The Church of Later-Day Dude while living in Thailand...

Yes....they are all the same dude.

do you mean literally or metaphysically? forumdude an alt handle for the founding Dudely Lama?
or were you speaking along the lines of the opening of I am the Walrus-
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

[cckeiser]

Different handles for the same person. He uses forumdude when he post to the forum.

[Rev. RJ Dudemiester]

far out man!!!
i'm humbled by the knowledge that the forumdude is also the leader of the whole church!

far out, indeed man!

so... back to the point of the thread- i am unclear as to what sort of complications or challenges are blocking us fro having ID cards... but i'm an idea guy and i am wondering if it would be possible to use some kind of stop-gap solution for the time being? this post prompted an idea-

I think the ID cards should be done in the same colors as the bumper sticker and the iron-on patch.

Make the card dark purple with light green lettering and put that classy Yin/Yang bowling ball logo over in the corner and you've got it made.

So, I'm guessing that the original idea was to create cards that are laminated and look and feel 'official', which by all means would be wicked groovy.
But in the mean time, while what ever those problems are being addressed-
could we not create an image generator (like with the certificate) that would spit out a graphic (like the one suggested above, or what-have-you) with our Rev. Names, a the seal, the ying/yang, the name of the church and what ever necessary info needs be on there?
then we can print them ourselves at home, and even get them laminated at kinkos or some-such place.

this way, we all could actually be card-carrying Dudeists!

[cckeiser]

I think the only thing getting in the way is we're dudeists....some times it takes awhile to get things done.
One of the reasons I like Dudeism over Buddhism...lower standards and even lower expectations!

But that is just like my opinion man.

But hey...if you have the where-with-all and the motivation...go for it dude! I'm sure everyone here would be grateful.

I fell you on all that.
for better or worse, my life experianced has made me what i am... and i think that by some standards i make a really poor Labowski Dudeist.
it would be more accurate to describe myself as Secular Buddhist Theatre Mystic who has accepted Dudeism as his new organization.

Fear not! i can be as "lazy" as the laziest of any Dudeist! lol
but i also have periods of high intensity productivity because of my arts background.

now sadly programming is not my bag. I could not create the gizmo that would work the way the Church Sign Generator or the Certificate Generator work. 

Now if i could be introduced to the Dude who created those two gizmos- then i could get something done by collaborating with them!


I will tinker with some graphic design that i have percolating in my mind, but i may not be ale to get them done for a few weeks cause i'm slammed this week getting ready for a huge tour that i'm working. But that is neither here nor there...

Hey RJ, did you have a chance to like create some stuff?  Pretty sure some svelte ID cards would feed the monkey, and I like being able to whip out my credentials when people are like unsure about this.
