Oh, well, fuck them. A dude is a dude, no initiation  required!

No, but every excuse to have some beers is a good thing.  ;D
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.

In Dudeness we abide.

Thanks for mentioning it:

Beer
I will get one right now, man
just cold oat soda in a can
no Jackie Treehorn additives here
just discount swillin beer
our most modestly priced beverage

Thats the poetry of the day, and feel free to use it at baptisms or what-have-you.

is it possible to be "baptized" into the Dudeist religion? I mean, if I'm a Dudeist, and I want my kid to be an official Dudeist before he is of legal age to be ordained, is there a recognized ceremony for this?  If not, there should be!  

Dude, one enters the religion of dudeism by being dude like. The only thing baptism can do is cause a good dude to lose his sunglasses.



At least I'm house broken. Lemme look again, they're down there somewhere.

That's right DB, nevertheless we can't answer "I can't worry about that shit!" if a fellow Dudeist wants to baptize his child, can we? ;D

And not_exactly_a_lightweight in this moment, believe it or not, I'm drinking a modestly priced oat soda from a discount, made under the Bavarian Purity Law; no shit should be inside. A good beer at .49 € cents for half a litre. 6pm here, appetizer time in my private residence.  ;D

Like, I understand that its a religion of realization, per se, but I mean, a kid cant be a dudeist priest until he's of legal age.... well what if he wants to join up before he turns 18?  I'm just sayin, a baptismal rite would be a pretty cool thing.

Well, sure, we can't have a member of our clergy be under the legal limit, but there's nothing to stop he proclaiming his worldview.  A religion, regardless of if you were born into it, or if you were officially inducted into it by rite, is what you believe in.  A Dudeist rite of induction is wholly unnecessary, but is a totally doable option.

If you think you need to chug a Caucasian or listen to the entire Creedance backcatalouge back-to-back, or recite the Port Huron statement to feel like you're really involved, then go for it, what ever makes you happy and infuses the Dudely spirit into you.

We are a religion that's plum out of rules, but stocked to the rafters with options!  ;D

Many years ago when I was studying for my Avionics degree I was sweating over the books every night and burning myself out but my grades were awsome. High 80's to mid 90%

Then one night a colleague came round to do some studying with me but we ended up drinking beer and watching footie.

In the morning we quickly scanned the books and took the exams...we both got 74% and from that moment on never wasted another minute studying.

I'm still in high school (grade 12), but I've always taken that approach to tests. It always works out well. Last year, in Biology, there was this one test that was supposed to be one of the toughest ones of the year. I didn't study and I barely even paid attention in class, but I still managed to get a better score on the test than anyone else. It was great.

I find that the secret to passing tests is a state of mind more than anything else. I trained myself to sort of passively soak up facts without having to divert all of my attention to the lecture.

mark it 8 dude. If you want to have a baptism or some other initiation rite, that's cool. I won't stand in the way of another reason to have a celebration.
I don't get it. How do I sign this? Is there a special pen?
