Ok, I have sort of been playing around with taking the Lebowski out of Dudeism...wondering if anyone else has come to the same conclusion I have?If we remove the Lebowski from Dudeism...all that is left is pretty much just a bastardized Taoism.That may not be a bad thing...
Well, my flame-haired gentleman Dude - you got the ball rolling, I guess you have to see how it's played.

I, for one, have no problem with term Church Of The Latter Day Dude or Dudeist & wear my patches & my baseball shirt featuring the Dude-Vinci with a certain joy, YET feel that Abideist sums me up personally better than Dudeist. That's all it is, a personal term for me. Dudeism is a frame of reference only.I only think TBL & adding the "dude" becomes a problem with its overuse. That's all.The absurd parody & light-hearted humour was one of the things that brought me here, along with the implied Bill Murray-esque fatalism of the Fuck It, Let's Go Bowling & the child-like wonder of Far Out-ism.Maybe we should apply some Dudeism to this discussion & think - Que Sera Sera. I don't think we should worry too much about where Dudeism is going because the people in this Forum are the slow beating heart of Dudeism & the Holy Idle. Seems like it's doing quite well as it goes.Let the Lebowskiists do what they do as they will either stay or move on.Anyway, it's my day off so I'm gonna eat a chip butty & sing songs to my cat Tom ..."Grooouund control to Major Tom ..."
I deeply hope that Dudeism, as it develops though out the coming decades, never becomes as evil and demented as this sick shit........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7e9vnwTjJA&feature=relatedThis is my concern, dudes.
...I've always had this idea that the core of Dudeism is a loose adherence to a very general ideal and that as soon as it begins to become codified it loses it's identity and it's strength and begins to become uptight.The more formal the idea of Abiding becomes the harder it becomes to Abide IMHO....
