The Dudeism Forum

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.

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.

You mean Neron?

Neron looks like a real nihilist, he don't belief in nossin, in nossin!

 

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."

That's fucking interesting

Buddha, you may have a point, man...

How hard is it to be OK to your fellow man?

Really?

The ultimate lesson of Take it Easy, Man.

You have more than rocks in your skull, guy.
