If you're new to the site, or just have some general questions about the site, this is a fantasic place to start. This is certainly not an exhaustive list.
Q:I..I…I don't really get what's going on here? What's the point of all this?
A: The Dude's Life discusses ALL things related to… you guessed it…a typical dude's life! We talk sports, music, television, women, romance, etc… All things that you would expect to affect a dude in one way or another.
Q: Ok, fine. I get that. But what's up with Tacos, or some of your other characters?
A: Well, obviously some of this stuff is borderline ridiculous, but you know, we're here to entertain you. Tacos encompasses the burning desire and passion that every dude has at some level. You have to admit that as a dude, you'd LOVE to live the life of Tacos. Milling about in your grotto, filled with women yearning to touch and feel you…
Q: Ok, but I started reading stuff by Tacos, but it seems like it's out of order.
A: It probably is. Don't forget, this is a blog. Last thing up is the first thing listed. Just click either the category name, or look on the bottom of every post to see the last few things that author wrote. If you need to start from the beginning, you'll have to look at the back-dated stuff. (Or, you can simply ask in the comment section and one of us will be happy to provide the linke.)
Q: I like your stuff, but some of it feels like it's not even edited. Don't you take the time to edit your entries?
A: Well, it depends who wrote it. Murph is the e.e. cummings of the blog. He's a bit diva-ish, and really, I don't have the time to fix up all that stuff. We love Murph though, and we accept the unediting if it means we get more content from him. As for the rest of us, we do our best, but you don't see everything. Hey, if you have free time and want to be an editor, just write me and the gig is yours. I'll let you proof every damn sentence on the site!!
Q: Since you mentioned it, I'd really like to write for you. Can I?
A: Maybe. (How's that for a definitive answer?) The best way to become involved in the site is to comment. So much of the best content takes place in the comment section under each post. Participate. Get to know us, let us get to know you, and throw some ideas around. If we're all on the same page, eventually we'll work something out.
Q: I'd love to comment, but I'm a little apprehensive. It seems like you all know each other and I don't really feel comfortable in that setting.
A: Wait! Wait! We're not a clique here. Quite honestly, if it seems like we all know each other… Well, a lot of us do. But, with that said, don't ever feel unwelcomed here. If it seems like we're always just talking to each other, that's only because noone else IS talking to us. Please, comment! Jump in! Interject! Feel at home!
Q: So who writes for this site anyway?
A: Well, in short, we currently have 4 writers. Murph, Tacos, Mystique, and your's truly. Each of us brings our own brand to the table (sort of speak). Murph is the loveable contrarian. As I said before, he brings quick wit, a diva-like attitude, and great insight to TDL. Tacos, well… What more is there to say about Tacos? Tacos is a master at all passionate things. Need advice? Tacos will show you the way through love, romance, and most of all, passion. Mystique is our newest team member. She brings a feminine perspective to the blog and, since many of our readers are dudettes, she adds content that will interest them beyond our normal fare of hotties, sports, and beer. (Believe me, there's PLENTY of feminie perspective in the comment sections. Not to worry!) As for myself? I have to keep this place in order. (Not that I have any pull or anything.)
