I suggest Jesus (not "the Jesus" of bowling fame and a passion for eight year olds), I'm talking about the dude that lived in Israel a couple of thousand years ago. You know, the dude they nailed to a fucking tree for telling everyone that it would be dude like and a good idea to be nice to other people for a change. That Jesus. He was very dude like. Here's why............................
He told the asshole "holier than thou" religious types of his day to go fuck themselves
He hung out with cool people who liked to party and did some hefty partying himself
He wore a robe (very dude like in his time)
Hung out with his own version of the Seattle Seven (the 12 fucking disciples)
Found a coin in a fucking fishes mouth to pay the rent
Didn't have a job
Fed a lot of people
And best of all (and THIS is very dude like), turned water into great fucking wine. What could be more dude like?
here's the thing dude....
he's already listed as a great dude in history. but, i mean, this is a very complicated case; lot of ins, lot of outs, lot of what-have-you's.
luckily, i think we both have been adhering to a strict drug regiment to keep our minds limber.
and let us not forget, that he probably wore special sandals, that not only keep the sand out of toes, but also were extremely comfortable. i mean, why wouldn't he?

Yeah, fucking a, dude. The big JC did indeed wear saddles in the parlance of his times. And he wore long hair and had a beard. JC is one of the most dude like dudes in history.
the problem was the chief of rome; a real reactionary
Did Jackie Treehorn do that as well?

I was checking out some shit about JC and it seems he was more dude like than I had thought. Seems there were these uptight assholes called Pharisees who didn't dig JC's laid back dudeness. They copped a fucked up holier than thou attitude when JC and his bowling team of 12 followers came around to role a few and do some partying. They would have had the Roman's dump shit like this on JC .....................
Pharisees draw a lot of water in this town, Jesus Dude. You don't draw shit. We got a nice quiet beach community here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet. So let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around bothering our citizens, Jesus Dude. I don't like your jerk-off name, I don't like your jerk-off face, I don't like your jerk- off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-off --do I make myself clear?
JC would come back with something like 'I'm sorry, I wasn't listening....................is this, what day is this?'
Redux addition from my post at lebowskipodcast.com (a totally righteous place, by the way)...
I was thinking that JC was a much better role model than the way over touted Jeff Dowd could ever be. I just can't see Dowd as dudelike, but for sure JC was an early historical dude for sure. JC pissed off the money hungry dickhead TV evangelists of his day and seemed to dig the style of the common dudes he hung with. I bet they did some righteous partying. As for Dowd, one of my pet peeves about lebowskifest is how brainlessly (and for money) they pump up Dowd as some kind of ultimate model for the dude. They're trying to make him some kind of lebowskifest folk hero. Total bullshit as far as I can tell.
"...And best of all (and THIS is very dude like), turned water into great fucking wine. What could be more dude like?"
I choose him, i choose him all the ways.

Far out, Dudette, yeah he did for sure. Fucking great wine, in the parlance of his day. If JC was alive today, he'd be wearing jelly sandals.

Just a little thought experiment and what-have-you. From my upcoming book "The Dude is The Jesus... In the Parlance of Our Times"
What if...
Jesus did come back to the world today and found himself in LA and decided that the world wasn't worth saving yet, so he was just going to do some rolling and some bowling while he was here and enjoy a few White Russians and Oat Sodas?
The Father is not pleased with the Son of Man's choice to be such a lazy dude and treat this visit to Earth as a vacation, so the big G arranges events that ruin the Dude's rug and gets him involved in a very complicated case to take down the Evil Big Lebowski and fight some nihilists along the way.
Well, being endowed with the Holy Dude Spirit, the Dude is inclined to replace his rug that really tied the room together and take advice from his faithful friend Walter. Using his Jesus Dude skills and grace, he sets out on his mission from God while still keeping his cool and retaining his laziness. The world is not yet ready to be saved, but that doesn't mean Jesus wouldn't want to spend some time on Earth before the rapture.
"See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me."
So, the premise of my book is that the story of the Dude is the story of one of Jesus' trips to Earth, but rather than coming to save the world, he just came to have some fun, and take'er easy for all us sinners
"I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself."

Jesus never claimed to be the king of the Jews, thats what they called him.
He didn't roll on Shabbos, though.

New shit has come to light..................So dudes, I have a few more observations from the good book suggesting that JD (Jesus Dude in the parlance of his times) might have been the ultimate forerunner of our very own Dude of Lebowski fame. Check it out...
...... He hung out with a couple of women that were his special lady friends (The whole Mary and Martha thing going on in the gospels),
...... He had visions much like when the dude took a slug on the jaw and road the magic carpet over Los Angeles,
...... He got totally pissed off at the human paraquats of his time that were ripping off poor dudes in the temple; I talking here about the time he grabbed himself a whip and turned over the fucking gold bricken' nihilist money changer's tables in the local church...just like the dude when he busted the big Lebowski in the fucker's pad shouting "Where's the fucking money, Lebowski!?"
...... He called himself "The son of man," That was his was of saying "I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me."
...... He was baptized by a radical dude named John the Baptist as was the dude in his tube...hey, this is a private residence, man.
...... As far as I can tell, he had spirit dudes called angels following him around, kinda like the Stranger who shows up and says a few words to the dude, JD (Jesus Dude) spoke to Moses and Elijah on the mount. Very dude like, talking to historic dead dudes.
...... Jesus Dude said to a few dudes that he was God or divine, just like our dude who called himself El Duderino (EL in Hebrew means "God").
...... JD was a peace maker, our own dude said "Will you just take it easy, man," and "put the piece away, Walter..." And also the dude said "Hey Walter come on, it's just--hey man it's Smokey. So his toe slipped over a little, you know, it's just a game, man."
...... JD had Jewish friends, so did the dude (fucking Walter)
...... JD had a Jewish team member named St. Peter who was ready to kick some ass for his master with his trusty sword when the nihilist Romans came to fuck with JD, ...the dude had a team member named St. Walter who had no problem with pulling out a piece (Colt .45 in the bowling alley and his Uzi with the ringer, didn't think he was rolling out naked, do ya?).
Fucking a, dudes, Jesus Dude seems to be the inspiration of our very own El Duderino. Any other dude or dudette abide with what I'm saying? Shit, man, they even look alike..........

Hi everybody! I'm new here. My wife and I run a goofy little tiki store in Portland Oregon called the Freaky Tiki. Tiki is cheesy, fun and all about good karma. Very dude like. I notice that the Dude has a tiki bar in his bungalow. As to my nomination as to who qualifies as a great dude it would be Albert Einstein. I can't think of a quote of his that wasn't dude like! A true pacifist. And by the way, although he didn't believe in a personal god per se and wasn't a Christian he was very big on Jesus. A lot of people don't know that. Now do you care if I do a jay?
Do you have any kalhua?

Welcome to the pad, mang, do a j for the team ;D
Thanks Digitalbuddah! What it was that Einstein said about Jesus was that he was 'enthralled by the luminary figure of the New Testament'. He also made it clear that he felt that Jesus was a real person and no myth. (Remind me to work the words 'enthralled' and 'luminary' into future rhetoric.) That aside, in my fevered little brain I've thought that there are overtones of Christianity in the Big Lebowski in that the stranger (Sam Elliot) seems almost like God the Father with the Dude being His Son. Is it possible the Cohen brothers intended this? Or have I toked up one too many times.

Einstein was a dude for sure, mang. The E-dude abided. I'm not sure if the Coen's had JD (Jesus Dude) in mind when they wrote the script for The Big Lebowski; I do think that they understood universal dudeness that a few people have always had and they wrote about that. Dudeness is not a recent thing, man, it was around 2000 years ago, JD was a dude who abided and that is one reason why we still read of him.
Can one toke up one too many times? ;D
I just reread the 'take it easy manifesto' and have to say that it is fucking brilliant man! I am becoming more and more proud of having become an ordained minister of The Church of the Modern Day Dude now that I'm actually taking the time to learn about it. (I tend to do things bass ackwards- in the parlance of our times.) I also liked Andrea Dudette's image of JD in His whites. They appear much cleaner than those Walter stuffed the ringer with.
