Praise the lord! It’s July 10th already! Too bad I’m not 21 or living in the region of Louisville, Kentucky.

Have no idea what I’m talking about? Good because that’s exactly how I planned to get the seven people who view this site daily to read past the lead.

It’s Lebowski Fest!

What’s that Timmy? You haven’t been informed of the glory of the legendary Lebowski Fest?

Well it’s a celebration about everything that is “The Big Lebowski”. What that’s now, Timmy? (God I hope there is a reader named Timmmy). You haven’t bathed in the illustrious fountain of “The Big Lebowski”. Well let me give you a synopsis because I have nothing better to do at 1:05 in the morning and have seen the flick a good eight times.

Most Dude-Haters think this is a movie about a drinking and drugs that’s drowning in  f-bombs. WRONG! Well uh… Actually  that’s quite accurate but let me assure you, it’s much more than that.

“The Big Lebowski” is 1998 Coen Brother’s comedy about a dead-beat, loveable stoner, yes the Dude-Haters were correct, amply titled “The Dude”. After the Dude’s rug, which “really tied the room together”, is urinated on by a man who mistakes him as famous Millionaire with the same name, the Dude goes on epic, “Odyssey-like” journey to replace his rug.

You’re probably thinking, “What’s all the hub-bub about?” Trust me, it’s far more than how I just described it and it’s probably the funniest movie since…well “the Roundhay Garden Scene” (Yes, that is the first movie ever and yes, I did google it).

This is the portion were I BEG the reader to please go rent this movie so you will know what I’m talking about. It’s life changing, like letting Jesus into your life or buying a Shamwow.

When you do watch it, then you can come sit on the couch with me until we turn 21 and can join on in on the festivities of Lebowski Fest (Yes, Timmy, I will explain what Lebowski Fest is).

Lebowski Fest is an annual party that tours bowling alleys across the US (Because bowling is the Dude’s favorite pastime, Timmy, duh..) Everyone dresses up as their favorite “Lebowski” characters and bowls to their hearts content.  Also there’s a trivia challenge, enough White Russians to go around- the Dude’s drink of choice, special guests and to top it all off a massive movie screening of, you guessed it, “Quigley Down Under” (Just playing…but that is a decent movie).

So please, do as I previously begged or I’ll have to make the following quote from Jesus Quintana come to fruition. “Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I’ll take it away from you, stick it up your *ss and pull the f*cking trigger till it goes “click.”"
