So, fuck it man, I’ll start again.I propose the idea of the Most Dude of any category. For example, I believe that George Harrison is the Most Dude Beatle. Harrison was called “the quiet Beatle”, he demand to be heard, he was certainly the most spiritual Beatle. He was also the Beatle most likely to say “Fuck it”. During the documentary “Get Back”, George , fed up with Paul being very “Un-Dude”, just got up and said he was leaving the band. I believe, before he did this, in his mind he said fuck it. He was quoted as thinking in his head, ‘What’s the point of this? I’m quite capable of being relatively happy on my own and I’m not able to be happy in this situation. I’m getting out of here.’, which to me can be simply translates to “fuck it”. Just before he got up and nonchalantly quit the band, he said to Paul,“I’ll play anything you want me to play, “Or I won’t play at all if you don’t want me to play. Now, whatever it is that will please you, I’ll do it.” This is very Dude.
Another idea, The Coast Guard is the most Dude Military organization, I mean Jeff Bridges, the Dude himself, was in the Coast Guard. Of course there are more reasons than that, but I think you get my meaning.

I wish there was more activity on this board but alas, new shit rarely comes to light. If you are on Reddit, there are a bunch of Dudeist Priests there. They seem a little judgy to me at times (which is disappointing [to me]). But there will also be plenty of folks who like your style.

Peace!

My rug…the rug…The blue rug, resting quietly at the center of the room, does more than decorate the space — it anchors it.

Its deep blue border speaks of calm and stillness, like the horizon line of a serene sea, holding everything within its quiet embrace. The white center, adorned with gentle, structured designs, mirrors the clarity of a mind at peace — not empty, but intentional, patterned with quiet order.

Philosophically, peace isn’t the absence of movement; it’s the presence of harmony. In the same way, this rug doesn’t shout for attention. Instead, it weaves the room together, drawing scattered elements — chairs, tables, footsteps, conversations — into a shared center. It creates balance without demanding it.

Much like an inner still point within a busy mind, the rug’s calm design allows everything around it to exist in relationship rather than competition. The blue border symbolizes boundaries that keep the world from spilling into chaos, while the white center represents the open space where thought, conversation, and life itself can flow freely.

Peace, then, is not just felt — it is placed, framed, and lived in. The rug becomes a quiet philosophy: a reminder that harmony often begins with a single, steady center.

I’m also more or less searching for fellow Dudeists nearby. It’s not that easy but I can say that my handful friends and my family are kind of Achievers as well. I take that as compensation.

Oh, well. What the fuck? It’s still a fucking ferret!

Three six-foot runners and an 8×10 area rug tie the whole room together.

The absurdity! The horror! The marmot! Oh, but wait, it’s not a marmot. It’s a ferret. I propose that the Abide University mascot be changed to a line-art rendering of a ferret, while retaining the name ‘The Marmots’, in keeping with the gag in the film. What say you, dudeists?
