I wish I had a better story. I'm kind of a short guy, so...here's Smalls, dude.

waaaaay back in my deadhead days... (drifts off into a reverie about kidless full-moon all night drum and dance jams...)

um, what were we talking about?

oh yeah; i was quite distressed about all of the youngsters wandering about, quite literally in danger at times, in their altered states. we traveled in groups (more like a caravan, rather than a literal bus), and since i was the eldest sister, i assumed a motherly role, keeping the group rocking and rolling.

"Busmom" in yank nomenclature, "mum" to the fabulous fecker i married 

Since I'm a newdude around these parts, I'm sifting through our collective history here. I hope no one minds a slight thread resurrection.

Senator was a name given to me in college. (Senator being the kind of name one just doesn't up and call himself where I'm from) We all took these placement tests and at our table, one feller says, "Damn. What are you going to be, a senator or something?" Senator stuck. Note: the score wasn't that great, but the rest of my table was a bit more... limbered up for their tests.

Tso comes from the greatest gift to mankind ever: General Tso's Chicken.

I like this thread.  Here goes:

I was a philosophy major in college.  Specifically Socio-Political Philosophy.   Nietzsche, being one of my favorites, was the partial inspiration for screen names, emails and such.  My twisted sense of humor being the other half to result in UBERMENTAL.  I don't go by that much anymore needing more "professional" communications handles.  Still, I haven't changed much.  Naturally, when I became ordained, I could think of no better name than UBERDUDE.   

When I was in high school I was trying to come up with a word to accurately describe how great I thought this one thing was (I forget now what it was).  I came up with Tripnastic to note that it was fantastically trippy.  It's actually on cassette tape.  My friend Shawn was holding a recorder to the radio to get a song (old school!) and caught me on tape going "TRIPNASTIC! I just made up the greatest word!!"

Hi Dudes,
actually, I used my real first name and - having become a follower or a member of this order, not ordained, though, and also regarding myself as following layman, and aren't we all brothers and sisters, you know, I thought "brother" just sounds nice.
and then of course there is an allusion to the brother Da Fino, waow, you wouldn't have guessed, would you ?

And then I realized that "Faithfully BE" just reads nice.


Faithfully
BE

This is a cool thread for new dudes like myself.

I got the name "Stinky" in October, 1989. Self-applied, mang!

I had just started college the month before and fell in with a bunch of other kids (mostly chicks) who were all from the same high school and had HS nicknames. I wanted one, too. One night, after some partying, we went to get pizza and I was in rare form. The girls were like, "you are an asshole!" (but they were laughing when they said it). So being the brilliant, young, drunk dude I was, I said, "If I'm such an asshole, you should call me Stinky!"

October, 1989, dudes.

I still have lots of friends who only call me Stinky. Their kids, some of whom are old enough to drive now, all call me "Uncle Stinky."

The "Rev." part is new. Maybe someday I'll be St. Inky? 

Hmmmm....Dudeist saints?   That could be interesting

Completely agree... to name something is to imply its opposite... the only way I figure I can make any sense of it is to stay loose, maybe work a beverage, and abide.

I didn't mean literally.  I meant something like "Saint Walter-  Patron saint of staying calmer than you are".  More of a fun thing.  What would Donny or Maude be the Patron of?  That's more what I was going for, just rollin'.

Quotemaybe work a beveragee,

Dude....them two words do NOT go together...on any fucking level....mark it zero my friend. 

Peace man
