Is a bear of little brains. Can think when he needs to. Life pretty much revolves around honey. Always taking it easy. Doesn't seem to to much else.
And I definitely see a similarity between Piglet and Donnie. Maybe Eeyore is Walter.
If you haven't check out the Tao of Pooh, as well as any of the Pooh books.
Oh. I see Pooh's been suggested a few times. Awesome.
Man, I'd like to see some Pooh animation footage editted to the Big Lebowski audio track. Maybe I'll try it. One day.
any person (or bear in this case) that can be used to explain taoism(a main religion in China) and compared to some of the greatest philosophers in history is good in my book.
Well, you know, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.
QuoteLife pretty much revolves around honey
That's because it has crack in it.
calmer than you are...

I think Walter is much more like rabbit than eeyore, has an opinion on everythinkg KNOWS thwt he's right (even if he's not)
that he's right
Walter was an asshole sometimes, but he always has the reason practically all the time.
And i find him a very good friend., he's a little asshole, but a good friend.
And" life around honey"..i like it, it sounds good, honey rocks, i eat it with bread and coffe, with apples, and alone.I love honey.

I agree with winnie the pooh. Don't forget about the book Pooh and the philosophers. Great book. Explains some of the great philosophers in history using Winnie the Pooh.
QuoteDon't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering. ~Winnie the Pooh
Definitely a Dudeist.
ah the tao of pooh and the te of piglet is definately a dudists must read. Yes Winnie the Pooh and all his friends deserve to be Dudes.
Totally recommend The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet!
Would kinda like to hear Pooh say "Fukin' A" or maybe "Shut the fuck up Piglet!"
OK. Pooh is dudely.
But he has a dark side also.

Despite him being a fictional character (which I think is not good for the list in question), I strongly second the motion of making the Pooh a Dude. As already wisely stated by some of other members, the books the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet should be REQUIRED Dudeist readings, as they are perfect introductions to Taoism for any and all Western minded people who can't wrap their heads about some of it's more seemingly nonsensical concepts.
It's an Eastern thing.
Regardless, it is highly apparent that Pooh is a Dude, pure and simple. To not say such would be over the line, which you do NOT.
I wanted to end this post with something wise, but I wasn't paying attention.

Bodhi- if being a fictional character is a problem, then we have a big one... The Dude. He may be based on a real person, but he is in fact a fictional character. If you look at the list of Great Dudes in History, you'll notice Snoopy (fictional character) so fuck it, don't be so uptight in your thinking that just because some one doesn't in fact, exist, they can't be a Dude. But that's just, like my opinion, man. What in God's holy name am I blathering about?

Hey the catholics canonised St Christopher, then decided to de-canonise him for the perfectly unreasonable reason that they now don't think he existed. (fascists).
Many of the Irish Catholic saints are pagan gods and goddesses with christianised names.
If other faiths can do it why cant we?
Dude and Meek,
Your arguments are infallible. You both make fuckin' excellent points.
Fuckin' A, man.
As a side note, I was actually well aware that the Dude and Snoopy were both on the list and fictitious characters, but it is in my firm belief that as many of the people on the list as possible should be real. Why? Because it's fucking inspiring to know people who adhered to our beliefs actually existed. Anyone who lives by Dudeist beliefs is like.. a Dude! You know? Man!
What was I talkin' about?

With the announcement of the first Winnie-the-Pooh book in 80 years I thought it time for that Silly Old Bear to have a place of his own. The books were classics that my Dad read to me and I read to both Amie and Devin. smiles fondly
A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Winnie. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Winnie, he called himself the Pooh. Now, Pooh, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Pooh that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, like- wise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
I would like to see tigger punt piglet about 50 yards into a tar pit. That little sissy. I don't think Pooh is even a dude. I think it's a chick. If Pooh and Tigger smoked a some weed and ate some shrooms at the beginning of each crappy cartoon, it would have been really cool!
Well, man... I have to admit, Pooh ain't as cool as Snoopy or Garfield (who SHOULD be listed in the Great Dudes List), but he took it easy! We could learn from him!
