The Dudeism Forum

Howdy, y'all.  I'm new here too, and want to help and serve the Dudeist community.  How may I do so?

Relax!

Nothing is fucked.  I'm trying, man.

No disrespect. I like your enthusiasm.

But to my point of view, a Dude is, a Dude doesn't need to try.

None taken.  Well, I dig your style too, man.   

As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart, the wind cannot overturn a mountain.  All is vanity, man, but the Rev abides.

I am a very complicated case, meekon. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's.  And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Rev's head.  Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind limber. 

Also: I'm a veteran, and I didn't see see my buddies die face down in the sand so that I could sit back and not help others get their slack on.  And I just want to get involved, to better serve all the Dudeists, past, present, and future.  Can you dig, meekon5?

Try here dude: http://dudespaper.com/contribute/ 

There's also my little thing, throwing food at people
http://dudeism.com/smf/general-discussion/food-bank/

One hint on this, dumpster dive in higher class neighborhoods, the food's better.  They also toss a LOT more perfectly good stuff because it isn't up the the blemish free state that their customers require.

Good stuff.  To this end, I am looking for other Dudeists who live in the Boston area (like I do).  Please email/pm me if you've got any good leads, man.

And you could join the team on Kiva:

Kiva Lending Team: The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (Dudeism).

I'm always a little cautious because we are not an evangelical group.

Cautious about what exactly?  Just asking.

Me too, by the way; I am not evangelically-minded either, man.  I just want to meet other Dudeists.  Is that wrong?  Am I wrong?

I'm afraid I'm the self appointed christian finder general.

I don't mind christians on the whole but we have had a few individuals come on here marching around telling everyone what and how to do things.

We've also had schisms caused by people who have had the wrong idea as to what this site is actually about.

Your biggest problem is you are talking to a group of people who base their association on being without rules, basically the biggest bunch of slackers you could find in one place.

So when I said:

Relax!

I meant that quite literally.

There is a lot of things that just seem to gel and suddenly we are doing things. Do look at the Dudespaper, Kiva, Lebowski fests, Oliver occasionally does stuff, even do stuff yourself, for a while we had a Local Dudeist League meeting going here in Hampshire UK (ps must re-do that again).

Dudeism being a branch of Toaism, just sit and let things happen, plant seeds and let them grow.

Ya, what M5 says. Sit back, relax and have a beer.  Or whatever vice you have that relaxes you...

Oh, and welcome to our little beach partay.

Thanks, man.  Yes: in terms of the temporal/material plane of self-identification, I actually identify as a Christian.  To me, JC was The Ultimate and Perfect Dudeist.  But that's just, like, my opinion, man.  However, I am hardly a Bible-banging fundy type.  I'm not trying to scam anybody here.  Dig?

Well I like your style. I can dig. I see JC as the Dude of dudes, and expect no one to agree b'cause it is like just my opinion and the way I roll. Peace to all my fellow compeer dudes whatever path they see in their walk

How'd you know that I identify as a Christian?  What's wrong with being a Christian Dude?

And as long as you mention it, what IS this site actually about?  Just asking, man.
