Dudeism is a modern religion based outwardly on principles espoused implicitly by the character of "The Dude" in the Coen Brothers' 1998 film "The Big Lebowski." Despite this recent catalyst, Dudeism has been around in one form or another for cenuturies. It is heir to a long line of Dudeist apostles who have influenced humanity thoughout history, most likely beginning with the Chinese sage Lao Tzu (legendary author of the Tao te Ching). The principles of Dudeism are peacefulness, non-covetousness, immunity to peer pressure, right thinking (sometimes aided by a strict drug regiment, sometimes not), modesty in appearance, honoring thy friends, not worrying about s**t because life goes on, and most importantly, earnestly cultivating the facility to abide (remain true to one's self) regardless of unforeseen unfelicitous circumstances. Ordained ministers in its official organization, The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, are commonly referred to as "Dudeist Priests."
I used to believe in Buddhism until I found out there were so many rules and everybody wears the same clothes and they're all skinheads, man. Now I'm into Dudeism. What day is this? A weekday?

Get the Dudeism mug.A very mythical creature, which is a dude, and a unicorn. Much like a Centaur, but with a horn, and the magical powers of a unicorn. Or if a man and a unicorn spent a magical night together, their male offspring would be a Dudeicorn. Sadly, much like a mule they cannot procreate.
At the end of the rainbow you will find many Dudeicorns.
I enjoy riding on my BFF Dudeicorn, because when I hang on, I get to caress his muscles.
My Dudeicorn smells like strippers and shame, that horn is magical.

The most awesome pet there ever was. (He is pink, so obviously he's awesome.) His real name is Dude Devil Dudecifer, but he is called "Dudecifer" for short. He will make you feel as small as a daisy (but you don't need to lie on his belly-summit, because that's pretty creepy). Hm...what else can be said about Dudecifer? People on acid wonder if he exists. People not on acid wonder the same thing. Dudecifer is the MOST AWESOME MYSTERY PHANTOM PET ever to exist.
(And we won't abandon him, like you abandon your fish at the end of the year.)

"Yeah, I wanted to get a pet, but YOU GUYS are the ones who wanted to name him Dudecifer and dye him PINK..."
