Rev. Marek looks down there somewhere and takes another look. What in God's holy name are they Kabbalaing about?

Govna G. takes a look at the planet formerly known as a planet. We're talking about Pluto here. The boys down at the lab may have decided that El Plutorino is no longer a planet, but whatever you call it, we should consider it a Dudely rock indeed.]]> http://dudespaper.com/planet-dude.html/feed/ 10 http://dudespaper.com/phones-ringing-dude-turn-it-off-and-force-yourself-to-be-where-you-are.html/ http://dudespaper.com/phones-ringing-dude-turn-it-off-and-force-yourself-to-be-where-you-are.html/#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:12:12 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/phones-ringing-dude-turn-it-off-and-force-yourself-to-be-where-you-are.html/ Deep thinking dude David Masciotra is back with a thoughtful investigation of one of the Dude's most important strengths -- his immunity from the demands of our modern, technologically-laced environment. If more of us could ignore our devices and say "The Dude is not in," we could be more and beep less.]]> http://dudespaper.com/phones-ringing-dude-turn-it-off-and-force-yourself-to-be-where-you-are.html/feed/ 19 http://dudespaper.com/find-the-dude-in-your-own-life.html/ http://dudespaper.com/find-the-dude-in-your-own-life.html/#comments Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:21:14 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/find-the-dude-in-your-own-life.html/ Scholar, public speaker, and pop culture Prometheus David Masciotra takes a deep look at what it means to be a true Dude, both in the ivory towers of higher education, and the political world-at-large. By celebrating the integrity of his mentor, he shows what the Dude movement is up against, but also offers encouragement for those looking to fight the Dude fight.

Check it out, mang. Also, we're planning on starting a more official-type university, "Abide University" where we'll be giving out free degrees and drinking too much beer. Just like college, except for the free part. We'd love it if you gave us notes.]]> http://dudespaper.com/oh-i-went-to-college.html/feed/ 7 http://dudespaper.com/saint-lebowski.html/ http://dudespaper.com/saint-lebowski.html/#comments Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:08:41 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/saint-lebowski.html/ Our pal Cathleen Falsani turned us on to her compeer Jason Byassee's awesome article about slacker culture, Lebowski, and Christianity. Dr. Byassee has graciously allowed us to republish it here. We hope you dig his style. He's a good man and thurrah. Got that whole ecclesiastical thing goin' on.]]> http://dudespaper.com/saint-lebowski.html/feed/ 9 http://dudespaper.com/the-age-of-the-mashup.html/ http://dudespaper.com/the-age-of-the-mashup.html/#comments Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:26:28 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/the-age-of-the-mashup.html/ Adam Bertocci, the wunderfella of Two Gentlemen of Lebowski takes a look at what might have happened had The Big Lebowski been mashed up with some other author's work instead of Shakespeare. A witty and literary look at what makes a mashup, Mr. Lebowski.]]> http://dudespaper.com/the-age-of-the-mashup.html/feed/ 2 http://dudespaper.com/the-lebowski-complex-growing-up-1-5.html/ http://dudespaper.com/the-lebowski-complex-growing-up-1-5.html/#comments Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:27:03 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/the-lebowski-complex-growing-up-1-5.html/ Deep dude Tim Carroll takes a look at the modern problem of too much information, man, and posits that we are all of us like Lebowski, trying to sort through all the strands that the information age has put in our heads. Now there's a name for the complex, so that's what you call it.]]> http://dudespaper.com/the-lebowski-complex-growing-up-1-5.html/feed/ 1 http://dudespaper.com/dude-esquire.html/ http://dudespaper.com/dude-esquire.html/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:46:38 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/dude-esquire.html/ We pay respect to Esquire magazine for featuring some dudely content (various uses of the word "dude"). and briefly look at the word "Esquire" itself. It's actually a pretty dudely term if you look at it limberly.]]> http://dudespaper.com/dude-esquire.html/feed/ 0 http://dudespaper.com/the-mind-limber.html/ http://dudespaper.com/the-mind-limber.html/#comments Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:13:46 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/the-mind-limber.html/ If, as a recent Boston Globe article suggests, making mistakes is what makes us smart, then the Dude sure is a smarter feller than ourselves. It all has to do with different ways of reasoning about things. And there's no reason, no fucking reason, we shouldn't all reason a bit more like the Dude does.]]> http://dudespaper.com/the-mind-limber.html/feed/ 1
