The Brotherhood Shamus

A Monastery for Private Investigations by Rev. Dwayne Eutsey Say what you will about the tenets of the Brother Shamus Monastic Orderat least its an ethos. St. Da Finos Virtual Shrine of Our Special Lady is Dudeisms first contemplative order consisting of Brother Shamuses (and special ladies) devoted to following their innermost Dude. What is a Brother Shamus? Like our blessed patron St. Da Fino, who set out on his quest to crack the Knudsen Conundrum, Brother Shamuses (not to be confused with Irish monks) endeavor to explore lifes most vexing mysteries. At St. Da Finos Virtual Shrine of Our Special Lady, Brother Shamuses join together to dig the Dudes work and contemplate Dudeisms enduring questions posed by the Dudester himself, such as: Who the fuck are you, man? Why the fuck *are* you following the Dude? How ya gonna keep em down on the farm once they seen Karl Hungus? As everyone knows, there are no easy answers to these questions, and pondering them alone can sometimes cause a darkness to warsh over you, darkern a black steers tookus on a moonless prairie night, as a wiser feller than myself once rambled.

Why Become a Brother Shamus? It is in the dark night of our most private snoopings that we unexpectedly encounter the Dude. Like St. Da Fino on the night of his epiphany, we must answer the Dudes call to get out of that fucking car, manor, in the parlance of our times, to let go of the egos steering wheelbefore we can ever come face to face with our deepest Dudeness. Unless youre adhering to a pretty strict drug regimen, though, you need compeers to help keep your mind limber enough to abide with the Dude. Becoming a Brother Shamus through St. Da Finos Virtual Shrine of Our Special Lady provides you with a supportive community that pools its resources, trades information, shares professional courtesies, has some burgers, some beers, a few laughsand what have you. How can you become a Brother Shamus? 1. Heed first the Dudes call to get out of that fucking car, man. 2. Confess that you are indeed a dick. 3. Intend to do no harm. 4. Follow the Dudes admonition to fuck off, but without begrudging the Dude. Once you have taken these teachings to heart, you may consider yourself a Brother Shamus. Fabulous stuff, man. If you like, you may now make a prayer to "St. Dafinos Virtual Shrine of Our Special Lady". She is a good shrine, and thurrah. http://dudeism.com/ourspeciallady/ Also, please visit our Facebook Group. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58776887960 http://dudeism.com/brotherhoodshamus/
