" enhance your cool man"
at the end of the day, it's all bollocks. That's my Tao.
'The Dude Abides'
It's as beautiful and all encompassing a philosophical statement as any of those old utterances made by those aincent chinamen.... and in english too.
I love Newton's 3rd Law!!
The Floyd boys put it well..
"Life is a short warm moment/
And death is a long cold rest/
You get your chance to try/in the twinkling of an eye/
Eighty years with luck or even less."
... I figure I'm a bit over half-way there. ;D
I do have a few favourite maxims, though. I know they're not much more than bumper stickers, but hell, they work for me.
1) Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.
2) Some people are just bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
3) It's not the fall that hurts - it's the stop at the end. (I have personal knowledge of this universal truth)
4) The early bird may get the worm - but the second mouse gets the cheese.
5) Not all who wander are lost.
6) Inside every old person there's a young person wondering what the fuck happened.
7) Don't die wondering.
Cheesy, yeah, do they work, hell yeah.
I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh limber ya know.

digitalbuddha, I'm of the same opinion. Drugs are my friend. I'm a poster child for "better living through chemistry" (I can't remember where I stole that from...)
I do have a helping hand in that department. Due to my close personal knowledge of #3 above, I've got an implanted morphine pump filled with happiness and sufentanyl (excellent modern morphine analog). So my mind's lumber all the time.
...er... "limber" all the time. (But I was thinking "limber as timber", so maybe "lumber" was right ...) :-X

They already posted it.
WELL THEY CAN FUCKING UN-POST IT!
TAKE IT EASY, MAN 8)
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening
Hey man, why don't you fucking listen occasionally? You might learn something.
You mean this is'nt "nam"?
There are rules....Am I wrong?
Life does'nt start and stop at my convenience?
Say what you want about not listening, at least it's an ethos!
No Walter, you're not wrong, you're just an asshole.
Calmer than you are
Yeah, man! Fuck it! I can't be worrying about that shit. Life goes on!
. . . .Yes, it made it home, I'm calling from home. No, Walter, it didn't look like Larry was about to crack.
Dbhudda, are you fuckin' this up?
My belief systems can be summed as follows -
"You brought the fucking dog bowling?"
"Brought it bowling? I didnt rent it shoes. I didnt buy it a beer. Hes not taking your fuckin turn dude"
"Yeah well if my ex wife tells me to take her dog bowling id tell her to go fuck herself"
Wife kidnapped?..Thats a bummer. Mind if we do some j's?
Lay low, get high, pretend to conform(or do anything) but really do nothing. The dude beats the system. He isnt pulled in by corporate stooges into making him believe he needs to eat at Mickey Dees everyday or that he needs to buy clothes. He knows the universal truth that bathrobes and shorts are adequate. On that note, Im going to stop writing this. Not because i have something to do. Because i have nothing to do. Nothing to buy, nothing to see, nothing to hear. Except maybe some creedence. And then ill resume doing nothing and living on bare minimums. People of conformity are blind people with cleft assholes.

BRANDT
He suspects that the culprits might
be the very people who, uh, soiled
your rug, and you're in a unique
position to confirm or, uh, disconfirm
that suspicion.
You think the carpet pissers did this?
Well, Dude, we just don't know.
Well, Fuck it!
Quote from: brandt on August 11, 2008, 01:04:35 PM
Well, Fuck it!
That's you answer for everything. ;D
And a good day to you, sir
He looks like a fuckin' loser
....and we know this is your homework, Larry,
You're killin' your father, Larry!
--serious infraction, and examine your standing. Thank you. Beep.
So the rug was in the car?
Ah, fuck it!
Speed of sound Tour...bunch of assholes.
This is our concern, Dude
Oh man, don't say that.............
Don't say peep when I'm doin' business, man

Sure! Fuck it! That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead! Your answer to everything!
Man, I'm not tryin' to scam anybody here, man
......the toilet sets up, man.
Your wife, Bunny owes money to Jackie Treehorn, that means YOU owe money to Jackie Treehorn!
You're fucking Polish Catholic
"Trying is the first step towards failure" -- Genius
Trying didn't help the Dude secure his front door from porn thugs because the damn door opens the other way. So the Dude had to put his "diapers" on and go and see Jackie Treehorn.
Trying didn't get the Dude his Jaw bone doctor act professionally, instead he got his sperm count correct.
Trying didn't help in making a ransom drop off, instead it brought him near a nervous breakdown, which is very undude, man.
Trying didn't help the Dude get his robe back, stumbling upon helping Maude Lebowski to concieve instead.
Trying to give the nihilists his 4$ only ended up almost being fucked by a long, thin, blond nihilist with a stiff karate kick.
Trying seems an awfully dangerous business in this "real reactionary police chief" filled world, yet the Dude has found some cracks in this otherwise seemingly rock solid philosophy:
a) a White Russian
b) a J.
c) bowling
d) taking any rug in the house
e) abiding
f) an acid flashback
It's good he keeps a strict regimen of these golden rules to not look at this life in a very uptight way, man.
What in God's name are you blathering about?
She kidnapped herself. Hadn't that ever occurred to you before, man... sir?
that had not occurred to us, dude. fuckin' interesting though. mind if i do a j to make my mind limber?
Brandt, give him the envelope
Are you fucks trying to fix the cable? ;D
Don't be fatuous Jeffrey
We know the briefcase was empty, man. We know you kept the million
bucks yourself.
You have your story, i have mine. I say i entrusted the money to you and you took it.

So you could identify the culprits.
You think the carpet pissers did this.....on a level playing field?
And without the use of their legs.
Human Paraquat!!
Brandt will fill you in on the details.
I'm just gonna find a cash machine.
Make sure you get an extra hundred, or Brandt can't watch
The old man said take any rug in the house.

Yeah, yeah I know. Okay.

Dude, this is Smokey. Look, I don't wanna be a hard-on about this, and I know it wasn't your fault, but I just thought it was fair to tell you that Gene and I will be submitting this to the League and asking them to set aside the round. Or maybe forfeit it to us--
