The Dudeism Forum

2012!!?
Damn, I'm always the LAST to know!

Right. Back to the Awards. My nomination would be ISS - the International Space Station. Alright, I know, it's not a person. What I mean is the whole idea. Just look at that - two of the most active participants of the ISS - the US and Russia - where sworn enemies not more than 20 yers ago. Now, together with Europeans, Japaneese and Canadiens,  they've built and share this amazing human achievement - a real space station flying there, above our beautiful planet. What I mean is - when I first got into it I went on youtube and found a film where American astronaut gives a tour of the station. He flies through it and there you go - past him flies a bloke from Russia and another one, he goes a bit further and there's Japaneese fella, he carries on - at the junction there's not one, but two black guys - not long ago some of the "civilised" countries didn't consider them proper humans and now they're member of our eilte. At this point I tought - well, I don't see many women there. Next movie - three women on the station at the same time. It doesn't matter what color or sex etc. you are. You have the qualification - you go there. Ok, you still have to be born in the right country, but at least that's a start.
I think it's beautiful.

It shows, that even politicians, e.i. fucking human paraquats, can get above divisions and actually do something together for the benefit of humanity. Ok, I know, in practice it's never so perfect. Maybe behind the closed doors they struggle all the time, but ultimately they managed to do it and somehow it works. I think it deserves a recognition.

Am I wrong? Okay then.

Awesome nomination Dude, well thought out.

Cheers

Good idea - it is a beautiful concept, Dude: so, a thread for Dudely Concepts (2010) before they are fucked-up?

Yep, now is the right time to sum up 2010. I'd stick to your categories, maybe add more, but basic idea is great. I'm trying to come up with something in music, 'cause that's one of the most important things for me. At the moment I've got nothing. Come on, people, get to work!

Welcome to the Forum jakubol, Dude - any rug in the place, the bar's over there.

Most Dudes will probably know what music I'd put up but as you're new here, this is for you (my nomination - best album, group): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN_dE-oCozs

Edit: the track that album comes from Water is Life was released in 2007 (I think); they released one last year but I haven't done anything with that - yet.

Somedude wanna be moderator for this Board? Open a few new headed threads? I've got fish to fry, right now - doesn't have to be quick; award ceremonies always seem to take place before the year is up  - so, it will still be for 2010. Actually, that's quite Dudely; "hey, what year is this? Oh, right - here's your award for last year man. Still need an award/badge design.

QuoteMy nomination would be ISS

I'd agree with that and as an aside here's a link to how she was all built....the dudes who conceived this massive project should all be recognised I feel...The biggest meccano set ever built... http://i.usatoday.net/tech/graphics/iss_timeline/flash.htm

Welcome back dude!

Yep, that's true. I've been here for a while, but somehow only recently I decided I have something decent to say

@cakebelly: Mate, this is brilliant! Is there a better way to show that we're all the same? Best proof you can find! I second that for music category.

@ Cesar dude: Nice animation, especially the space shuttle. I recommend looking for films of shuttles docking to the ISS, because since the crash of the Columbia they make a 360 degrees turn before docking to check any damage in the thermal shield. It looks really amazing - 28000 mph around Earth and this thing turning around. Recommend!

I was thinking about other awards and I remembered what I thought about few days ago. I'm an emigrant, born in Poland, living in the UK. One of the things that make me really happy is the fact is that when I turn the telly on first channel is the BBC and when I think of BBC I think of David Attenborough. I can't think of better person to nominee than him. The Man is simply brilliant, his work, his views - all of it. I know that The Duder can't be given to just anyone, but if there's anyone who deserves it it's him. What do you think?

Also, cheers for welcoming. It's really reassuring to know that there's so many decent people on this planet.
Abide, dudes!

What an excellent nomination: I grew up watching David Attenborough - a great broadcaster (hopefully not the last great broadcaster but it's looking that way) - whatever he was involved in, whatever show you were watching you could be assured that it would be high quality, engrossing and not in the least patronizing. He also spoke out against the dumbing down of the BBC before anyone else seemed to notice - Dude's had a rich and utterly fascinating life  - so, a life time achievement award or something else that recognizes his well-rounded, fuckin' A humanity? I guess we should add more info on nominees as we go along and then put up polls or what have you. Anyway, good one.

Aye, hopefully he's not the last, that would be a bummer. The thing is apparently people have been talking about dumbing down and the world going down the crapper for as long as they exist (source: QI. Fuck me BBC is good ), so there's hope.
So we have had few nominees now, but it looks like there's only one for every category. Since there's not much intrest in it (come on people, or you'll start getting toes in mail!) maybe we should change the nominees into potential winners straight away? On the other hand we can always keep doing it until May or so, who says we have to it now. Being in rush is not very Dudely.

Music-  Zac Brown (and band).  That dude lives the lifestyle, and his music is very dudely. It seems like in 2010 he just blew up and was everywhere.  Songs like "Chicken Fried", "Toes" and "Where the boat leaves from" would totally be on the dudes mix-tape.


For your consideration

Where the boat leaves from- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj-BRLtp7_s

Toes- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiL_beZtiQc

Far out, dude! It dig it man, I really do. And since I don't live in America this is new shit to me, even if he "was everywhere"
