Ryan Colt Weber is back on the case after a hiatus, and brings us some words of wisdom for the open road: Don't be unDude while driving, man. If you want the wagons to go westward, you're going to have to take it easy or harm might be visited tenfold upon your head. In other words, keep your inner Walter tied up in the trunk.]]> http://dudespaper.com/you-know-drive-around.html/feed/ 8 http://dudespaper.com/keep-on-the-sunny-side.html/ http://dudespaper.com/keep-on-the-sunny-side.html/#comments Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:41:00 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/keep-on-the-sunny-side.html/ What season is this...is this a uh...? Indeed, it's summertime, dudes. Time to put on the shades, shorts and minimal footwear and enjoy the dude times the sun has to offer. Rev. Ed Churchman weighs in on the Positive Mental Atta Dude that the fiery orb in the sky provides us for free.]]> http://dudespaper.com/keep-on-the-sunny-side.html/feed/ 1 http://dudespaper.com/dude-be-dude-be-dude.html/ http://dudespaper.com/dude-be-dude-be-dude.html/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:20:19 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/dude-be-dude-be-dude.html/ Rev. Hieronymous Moondog presents a Dudeist koan of a piece for us to ponder. To do or to be. That is the question, one Frank Sinatra posed in idiosyncratic style. As Thoreau might have put it, the answer is simplicity itself.]]> http://dudespaper.com/dude-be-dude-be-dude.html/feed/ 3 http://dudespaper.com/no-shirt-no-socks-no-stress.html/ http://dudespaper.com/no-shirt-no-socks-no-stress.html/#comments Sun, 04 Jul 2010 07:18:39 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/no-shirt-no-socks-no-stress.html/ Rev. Ed Churchman returns with a lighthearted Dudeist screed espousing our holy reverence for dressing casually, and when possible, not dressing at all. Human skin wasn't meant to be covered up so much, so let's enjoy the summer and let it all hang out. Rev. Ed helpfully suggests some ways you can do this and not get fired.]]> http://dudespaper.com/no-shirt-no-socks-no-stress.html/feed/ 4 http://dudespaper.com/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race.html/ http://dudespaper.com/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race.html/#comments Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:19:40 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race.html/ From his very dudely job out in the desert, Rev. Art Schaub draws a line in the sand, or an article, rather. Bringing an old story to light - Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare" - he shows how it fits right into the Dudeist canon. Down through the ages, across the sands of the Mojave desert.]]> http://dudespaper.com/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race.html/feed/ 4 http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom-3.html/ http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom-3.html/#comments Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:53:52 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom-3.html/ In the latest installment of the Lazy Wisdom trilogy (which we hope will not remain a trilogy), Rev. Hieronymous Moondog serves up a bowl of beer nuggets of Dudeist Widsom. Touching on ideas and quotes from Dudeist saints both alive and recently passed, there's plenty in here to help us get through the whole durn human comedy. Parts, anyway.]]> http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom-3.html/feed/ 4 http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-17.html/ http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-17.html/#comments Sat, 08 May 2010 01:39:54 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-17.html/ Ups and downs, stubs and fractures. Arch-Dudeship Dwayne Eutsey recently broke his finger, but he also got to emcee a cool event and witness a far-out concert by the legendary Neil Innes. Now this fella, Innes, is high in the running for Dudeliest Monty Python member world-wide (he's been called the 7th Python). Enjoy as Duderino Dwayne honors him before the assembled Dudeocracy.]]> http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-17.html/feed/ 6 http://dudespaper.com/a-ray-of-dude-shine.html/ http://dudespaper.com/a-ray-of-dude-shine.html/#comments Thu, 06 May 2010 14:20:05 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/a-ray-of-dude-shine.html/ Despite using the handle of a well-known mexican fast food franchise, our roving reporter Chalupa is also a fan of good burgers, dude. And so it was that on one lunch break at Wendy's he had a sort of epiphany after meeting a young employee there, who despite having a less-than-enviable job expressed such enthusiasm for a certain brand of soda that it proved to be food for the soul. A very dude attitude indeed.]]> http://dudespaper.com/a-ray-of-dude-shine.html/feed/ 7 http://dudespaper.com/lazy-widsom-2.html/ http://dudespaper.com/lazy-widsom-2.html/#comments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:48:10 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/?p=4586 Second in a series of investigative slackerology, Rev. Hieronymous Moondog takes a look at some more of the upstanding layabouts in the glorious history of Dudeism.]]> http://dudespaper.com/lazy-widsom-2.html/feed/ 2 http://dudespaper.com/derby-and-the-dude.html/ http://dudespaper.com/derby-and-the-dude.html/#comments Sat, 17 Apr 2010 04:09:51 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/derby-and-the-dude.html/ Now while Dudeists might be prone to periods of extreme inactivity, we're also fond of a sporting good time: The Dude was an achieved bowler, after all. And patron saint Jeff Spicoli was an avid surfer. Now our very own Rev. Wendy sings the praises of Roller Derby! Unlike being a golfer, it may be the only sport that's might be more fun to watch than to play. Cheer on Rev. Wendy and read her heartfelt article of faith. Sounds exhausting. And awesome.]]> http://dudespaper.com/derby-and-the-dude.html/feed/ 7 http://dudespaper.com/your-own-personal-genie-part-2.html/ http://dudespaper.com/your-own-personal-genie-part-2.html/#comments Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:25:43 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/your-own-personal-genie-part-2.html/ Italian Dudeship Andrea Favro inspired us all last December with his genius article "Your Own Personal Genie." Now he revists the topic thurrahly to provide us with some practical tips on how to throw rocks tonight and every night.]]> http://dudespaper.com/your-own-personal-genie-part-2.html/feed/ 6 http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom.html/ http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom.html/#comments Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:44:31 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/?p=4504 Has the whole world gone fucking crazy? We sure hope so. Rev. Hieronymous Moondog introduces us to the Little Lebowski on the way that comes from a union of Wes Nisker ("Crazy Wisdom") and Thaddeus Golas ("The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment"). Lazy Wisdom sounds like the wave of the future, dude.]]> http://dudespaper.com/lazy-wisdom.html/feed/ 8 http://dudespaper.com/keep-it-limber-dude.html/ http://dudespaper.com/keep-it-limber-dude.html/#comments Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:34:16 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/keep-it-limber-dude.html/ Rev. Ed Churchman pours us a tall cool one in honor of St. Patrick's Day -- a look at what it truly means to keep your mind limber. Hint: getting totally wasted on whiskey does not make it limber, it makes it limp. But the other danger is that of a rigid mind. How do we move through life limberly, like those maligned snakes old Patty drove out of Ireland? The honorable Reverend explains.]]> http://dudespaper.com/keep-it-limber-dude.html/feed/ 3 http://dudespaper.com/dear-dudely-4.html/ http://dudespaper.com/dear-dudely-4.html/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:33:14 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/dear-dudely-4.html/ This just in: an elderly Dude ruminates on the way he's planning to exit stage left from this whole durn human comedy. It's an inspiring and funny letter that we all could learn something from, if we listened occasionally.]]> http://dudespaper.com/dear-dudely-4.html/feed/ 6 http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-16.html/ http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-16.html/#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:37:57 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-16.html/ Happy Day of the Dude everybody! Are you happy, you crazy fucks? Well, if you're not, then this gem of a sermon by the Arch Dudeship Dwayne Eutsey should take the edge off some. It is a paean to all Dudeist things, both great and small, strikes and gutters, ups and what-have-you. Aside from honoring several great dudes in history the good Rev. also points out some other innarestin' things that have also happened on March 6th and which have a literal connection to Dudeism!]]> http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-16.html/feed/ 12 http://dudespaper.com/tao-soda-man.html/ http://dudespaper.com/tao-soda-man.html/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:51:51 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/tao-soda-man.html/ Just in time for the Academy Awards, Rev. Hieronymous Moondog runs into a curious someone at the Duder Bar. It's a feller who bears an incredible resemblance to Bad Blake, the character Jeff Bridges portrays in Crazy Heart -- the performance we're all hoping JB wins an award for. Some innerestin' parallels between Crazy Heart and The Big Lebowski, and this wise feller enlightens us to them.]]> http://dudespaper.com/tao-soda-man.html/feed/ 4 http://dudespaper.com/levelling-in-pursuit-of-the-spiritual-bungalow.html/ http://dudespaper.com/levelling-in-pursuit-of-the-spiritual-bungalow.html/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:27:37 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/levelling-in-pursuit-of-the-spiritual-bungalow.html/ Rev. Ed Churchman bowls another big one to us from old blighty, explaining how the Levellers movement helped usher in a much more Dudeist way of life for the British. Though their methods could be a bit on the Sobchak side, they paved the way for future Dude movements all over the world. Now every man's bungalow is his mansion.]]> http://dudespaper.com/levelling-in-pursuit-of-the-spiritual-bungalow.html/feed/ 12 http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-15.html/ http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-15.html/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:57:45 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-15.html/ Arch Dudeship Dwayne Eutsey returns with a joyfully rambling rumination on a host of Dudeist topics, from George Carlin to the Port Huron Statement to the End of the World As We Know it. If the end is indeed near, then we all better take er easy as fast as we possibly can! And if it isn't, well then, uh, same strategy. That about wraps er up!]]> http://dudespaper.com/no-frame-of-reference-15.html/feed/ 12 http://dudespaper.com/dudeciples-and-the-pan-dudeian-nation.html/ http://dudespaper.com/dudeciples-and-the-pan-dudeian-nation.html/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:46:43 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/dudeciples-and-the-pan-dudeian-nation.html/ Rev. Ed Churchman looks at the relationship between Dudeist holy folks (Dudeciples) and the Dudeist lay population (Dudes). Just as with other religions, we need both the fully dudevout and the deeply casual -- the Dudeist high-erarchy happily welcomes followers of varying dudegrees.]]> http://dudespaper.com/dudeciples-and-the-pan-dudeian-nation.html/feed/ 24 http://dudespaper.com/dolphins-this-aggression-will-not-stand.html/ http://dudespaper.com/dolphins-this-aggression-will-not-stand.html/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:22:39 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/dolphins-this-aggression-will-not-stand.html/ Our man on the cinematic scene, Chalupa from Lebowskipodcast chimes in with this heartfelt paean to the suffering of dolphins and current efforts to help them - including a dramatic activist movie called The Cove. The Dude minds too, man. Check out the clip of Jeff Bridges talking about dolphins on the Conan O'Brien show.]]> http://dudespaper.com/dolphins-this-aggression-will-not-stand.html/feed/ 9
