The Dudeism Forum

I want to nominate this old chick I met at the State Board of Electricity. I was laid off for a long time and didn't have money for the continuing Ed. So my license lapsed. I got a job after Christmas and took the pre-exam and continuing classes and  I went down to retest today. I had my test confirmation appointment letter with me but they couldn't find my application for the test. As I sat there not doing anything these gals were on the phone Gabbing away. All of a sudden 3 chicks show up and one asks, "Don't you already have a license?" I said yeah but it was lapsed. They said they saw my continuing ed on my record and they would wave the lapse date and all I had to do was pay for my license plus a late fee of $60. I about shit my pants. I have been arguing with the State Commissioner about this for 3 months.

These are some really cool chicks, if not dudes

Woah!  Like, I might be being just too lazy to check all over this site, but like, no one seems to have mentioned Lin Yu Tang.

Writer of 'The Importance of Living' (a textbook on loafing), translator of the Taoist classics the Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu and author of such classic comments as

'If one?s bowels move one is happy, and if they don?t move, one is unhappy.?

?Tomato juice must be ranked as one of the greatest Western discoveries in the 20th century.? and finally,

?The wisest man is therefore he who loafs most gracefully.?


I end with a quote about him from The Idler http://idler.co.uk/idle-idols/idle-idols-lin-yutang/;

His main principle is that the freedom to enjoy life is the ultimate spiritual good. The question of happiness - ?entirely neglected by Christian thinkers? - is not to be deferred in the name of abstract rewards. What reward could be greater than a life enjoyed as it is lived? Play without reason; travel to see nothing; a ?perfectly useless afternoon spent in a perfectly useless manner? - these are the kind of activities that redeem the art of living from the business of living.

Peace.

Lee Lee Lee...I  disagree about Lee, Lee, Lee

In the mythology of The D, Lee is the dude.  Jables is far too much the asshole to be the dude, and KG had to work too fucking hard to get as good as he is on the guitar, thus disqualifying him for proper dudeness.  All Lee does is kick back, do a J, and appreciate the power, glory, and majesty of Tenacious D, the greatest band in the world.

Lee is a dude.  His greatness lies, as with all true dudes, in his lack of greatness.

Skinny dippin' in a sea of Lee.  I propose on bended knee...to Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee...

i see your point dk. lee is definitely a dude. but a GREAT dude in history? not sure about that. his dude career has really slowed down since those halcyon HBO Tenacious D special episode days.

flying free, tenaciously. plant a tree for lee lee lee lee lee lee.

     I think "dudeness" goes way beyond drug-use (Morrison, Beender), and needs some kind of "ethos", they were confrontational. They did not "take it easy". As much as we dislike it, this is not Viet Nam there are rules. Yoda is good, but I think we should think about Hunter S. Thompson. That guy was no lighweight
