Hey, man, if my fucking ex-wife asked me to take care of her fucking ALEISTER CROWLEY while she and her boyfriend went to Honolulu, I'd tell her to go fuck herself. Why can't she board him?

First of all, you don't have an ex! And..its fuckin' Aleister Crowley, he's got papers, you can't just board him, his hair will....aww...shit...he's bald...

I would really like to nominate R2D2. If you really wanna know why, go on over to the Han Solo thread. I'm way too Dude to go into it a second time.

(And just in case anybody tries to nominate Yoda, "Try not. Do or do not. There is no try" is a very UNDUDE thing to say. A Dude would say, "Try or try not, dude. Whatever's good for you.")

What about Franklin Roosevelt? He is the brain.

Come on GermanNihilist, it's just--it's Aleister Crowley. So his bald head slipped over a little, it's just a game.

Pigs in Blanket · November 18, 2008, 03:13:31 AM

What about Mr. Kerouac? Or Mr. Ginsberg? Or Mr. Burroughs? Hell, hows about Mr. Kessey?

Anthony Bourdain.
Dude bums around the globe, eatin', drinkin', and kickin' back with cool people. He makes a lot of references to keeping his mind limber, and he sure likes to take er easy. He seems like a laid back, mellow Dude, but that's just my opinion.

I second.

Hold everything...I like Tony Bourdain, I watch his show, and I've read his book, but I don't know if he's a Dude.

He holds grudges, he is too quick to put somebody down, he has a rather high opinion of himself, and he can be rather spiteful at times.

Far more Walter than Dude, and a bit more Uli than Walter.

He lives a Dude lifestyle, but he probabgly isn't a Dude.

Lone dude · December 18, 2008, 08:59:44 PM

I too read his books. He also does mob crime type books, which kinda makes him like the Cohen brothers but thats not my point. I will have say that yes he can be undude at times. I refer to his writing about working at Le Halles and he can be an asshole, but I do especially love When he tells the twink waiter that he as his sou chef will poke two holes in his neck then bump dicks in the middle. It is very undude but wow what an attention getter. But you have to give him credit he has made peace with Emeril. Oh I'm ramblin again.

This is just like, my opinion, but I believe you have overlooked one of the most dudely thinkers in philosophy:Epictetus the Stoic. Basically, he said that the world is a crazy place, and that there are always going to be assholes. The only choice you have is how you react to it; do you jump out of a moving car with a uzi and make things drastically worse, or do you accept you fate, knowing that eventually the person who stole your new rug will either get theres or fess up and become your special lady?
