When you abide you just just take it easy dude, and you forget about the fucking toe.

to be able to forget about the fucking toe. But that's like, just my opinion, man
You want a toe, I can get you a toe...to be able to forget about the fucking toe. But that's like, just my opinion, man
It depends if we are talking about a toe with nail polish or not Dude.
You know it's a complicated case, lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous.
And don't give a shit bout the marmot.I just want my johnson
Was wondering what the tribe thinks that abiding means?
To me, abiding means that I hang in there and take life it comes. Not trying too much to make it come, or trying too much to stop it from coming. Just doing what life expects and take' er' easy for all the sinners out there, as the fella once said.
Abiding is going with the flow, or, if you want, going against the flow, but doing it with style, class and a bit of humility. Either way, not wanting to fuck with anyone.
Abiding means to agree to disagree if debating in a family restaurant over coffee, or smoking a righteous one with other dudes while you contemplate all the shit around you.
Abiding means its OK to be a fuck up sometimes, being a deadbeat, a loser, someone the square community won't give a shit about, but at the same time, winning the battle of life and sharing some of the spoils with your buds.
Fucking a, abiding comes natural to people, its all the madness that causes us to be undude, if we let it get to us, it ends up knocking us over the line and putting us in a world of pain while we end up unabiding. Fuck that, relax, abide, have a cold one and enjoy the semis. So, someone pisses on your rug, get over it, shit happens, just do what comes natural, stop by the old man's pad behind the gate, and grab a new rug to the tie the room together. On the way out, stop by the ole' cash machine and take care of business. Stopping of course to enjoy the scenery and a toe or two.
If the landlord comes around looking for the rent, offer him a j and let the dude know that you'll slip it under the door in a day or three. All in all, in good times or bad times, just say "fuck it, lets get us a lane and go bowling."
What does abiding mean? Fuck me, that's an easy one...when life tosses you a lemon (which sometimes it does), make it into lemonade and have a nice long refreshing long island iced tea, after that, its all good.
My point, Dude, is why should we settle for the twenty grand that a small minded life will bring, when we can keep the entire million that abiding will bring. Am I wrong? That way you can pass with a smile on yer face without feelin' like the good Lord gypped you.
Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up............Abide, dudes. Always abide.
Abiding= enlightened hedonism.
well said cckeiser. I think that enjoying the pleasures life has to offer needs to be accompanied by an ethic of not harshing anyone elses buzz. Those two rules make up the tipsy two legged stool of enlightened hedonism, but can be a powerful metric. Having a jay on my porch brings pleasure and does no harm, but having a few caucasians and driving around does.
Abiding= enlightened hedonism.
1. Do no harm
2. Enjoy life!
Yeah meekon5 dude, I dig your style, but the question asked is what does it mean to abide...the peepool need an ethos dues.
Could you abide with Don't be a Dick? ;D
Yep, thought better of it just a little after posting. Another time I should have said Fuck It and deleted the reply.Yeah meekon5 dude, I dig your style, but the question asked is what does it mean to abide...the peepool need an ethos dues.

CC you've been here long enough to know how I roll. ;D
I just object to the "This is the way it is" type statement.
I agree some people feel they should have an ethos, let them find one that fits.
I just worry that some people present their opinion of Dudeism as the only way.
When the joy of dudeism is it's personal.
We've each arrived here by our own personal paths.
My real answer to the question "What does it mean to abide?" is I can't tell you because to abide my way is unlikely to work for you.
I am always conscious that we the opinionated only represent a minority here, even as I type this the stats say:
Users: 5
Guests: 21
Total: 26
So there's five of us shouting and 21 people either passing through and thinking "what the hell are those monkeys yelling about" or even a few of them are professional lurkers here who just like the sound of the noise.
...The Ethos then becomes: This may not be Nam...but There are No Fuckin' rules.
You Abide your way, and I'll Abide my way...
too lazy to read everything everyone wrote after the initial post but i like every single line in what the OP/our DB wrote. is it ok if i copy and paste that to put in on my facebook 'notes' giving proper acknowledgement of course? for i could not have put it better and am way too lazy to even try. thank dudes for the good writers of the world.
also, sure you can hate joe walsh and the eagles PASSIONETLY, as long as they are your authentic feelings and reactions, am i wrong? ( i cant spell passion-itly right sorry, that word and 'tomarrow' and even 'morgauge' never have resonated enough with me to pass a spelling test which requires their correct spellage. i can spell DUDE though, and coffee).
PASSIONETLY
And google says:
Showing results for PASSIONATELY. Search instead for PASSIONETLY.
Besides the Dude, to me Bruce Lee puts Abiding well in his famous quote ?Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.?
To me this embodies the Abiding state.
After reading this thread (good one, too dudes...) what keeps rattling around in this nogin of mine are the words of the Stranger following Dude's acclamation of abiding: "It's good to know the dude is takin' er easy for all us sinners". Is it perhaps that simple? To me, that's the import that the Coen brothers had in mind about abiding. Just takin' it easy in the Zen-like way the Dude did. Works for me!

The reason google is so good is it doesn't use the same way M$ Word (or the forum here) uses for spell checking which is an heuristic algorithm (http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~papagel/project/kef5_5.htm) based on rules preset by programmers, it uses statistics, it shows alternatives then gives you the statistically highest probability.
I love it.
For me it's a couple things:
- Generally keeping a level head about things
- Taking life as it comes, not worrying too much about the 'big picture', or the future or the past.
- Knowing when to fold 'em
- Enjoying the simple pleasures in life instead of constantly striving for something big and grand
- Respecting people's opinions, espcially when I know I can't change 'em
- Knowing when to respond to something, and when to just ignore it
I don't know really but to contiune with the quotations: The best of man is like water,
Which benefits all things, and does not contend with them,
Which flows in places that others disdain,
Where it is in harmony with the Way. /Lao Tzu.
Then i agree with doing a bit of harm at times is justified.
One thing i'm curious about though. Is there a sort of dualistic relationship between the abiding dudeist and the square community?
