Come Here for Good Dudes

Though the Good Dudes had been a group since the mid to late 90s, it was this phrase that gave the group their name and started it all. Its legacy is long-lasting as the original and only universally agreed upon name for this esteemed group of friends.

History
In June of 2008, Chris, Dom, and Phil moved into the Dick House. After a long day of moving and general insanity with the help of friends, the basics of the entertainment center were installed and the party commenced. During this evening of drunken fun, several intrepid heroes descended to the bottom floor and convened in the sweat lodge to continue drinking, while other, less intrepid, heroes watched a movie upstairs. With nothing but a bottle of Baby Duck remaining, the guys sat down and inaugurated the Gauntlet. After a time, the conversation was lead to the general lack of women present and the corresponding solution. James and Graham texted the following message to the women in their phones' contact lists: "Come here for good dudes!" Lucky recipients of the cordial invitation included Phil's sister. When a few lonely, desperate, sad, girls actually responded and inquired as to the identity of the senders of the invitation to visit with Good Dudes, Grimbadule and Jimbulance responded "Alex __!" Thus the phrase, which is always to be equated with Alex, was born.

A notable and frequent recipient of the invitation to visit with Good Dudes is Mike and Alex's friend Steph.

Legacy and Impact
The phrase was the germ of the collective group name for the group of friends, Good Dudes, which persisted throughout the years, gaining more momentum and presence into every day lingo. The term 'Good Dude' has been used in several subgroups since, including: To this day, the phrase is also used to invite members or even non members out to events or get-togethers whether truthfully or in jest, being a general call to arms for fun and merriment.
