The Dudeism Forum

Dudes!

Zonker Harris has to be here!  I mean, he:

• Was raised in Southern California on the beach
• Belongs to the Cannabis Buyers' Club
• Has as his mentor "the old surfer dude"
• Went to school in the cold northeast, living at a commune
• His best job was as a professional babysitter
• Spent four years on the professional tanning circuit, winning the National Grand Championship two times
• Worships George Hamilton, Grand Master of Tanning
• Talks to plants (and they talk back)
• Won 23 millions dollars in a lottery and managed to blow it all in less than a year

I mean....I mean...I mean....he is dudism, personified!

maddog

I second the nomination of Zonker Harris.  Heewack!!!!

Belongs to the Cannabis Buyers' Club...mmmm...that's fucking interesting Dude, that's fucking interesting.

Zonker is definitely an Elder in the Church of Latter Day Dude.  An old Doonesbury cartoon had him saying "[My sophomore year] was the best three years of my life."

My own sophomore year?  Also three years.

Very dude-like indeed.............



DB Footnote: A few of our fellow dudeist brethren would argue that a fictional character should not be granted the status of "great dude in history." I would disagree; for one thing, the dude himself, though based on the life (loosely) of a real person, is for the most part, a fictional character.

Fictional characters often embody concepts of greatness and dudeness; witness characters such as Gandolf in The Lord of the Rings and many other awesome characters. It's just like my opinion, man, but the spirit of such fictional characters can be seen as dude-like and deserving of the title of Great Dude in History, not to mention that granting the title of GDIH (Great Dude in History) is a way of honoring the dude who created the character.
