This aggression will not stand, man...


Hard to believe it's been 15 years, still funny every time I watch it.

Way out west there was this fella...

fella I wanna tell ya about.

Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.

Mr. Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude".

Now, "Dude" - that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.

But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense.

And a lot about where he lived, likewise.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'.

They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels."

I didn't find it to be that, exactly.

But I'll allow there are some nice folks there.

'Course I can't say I've seen London, and I ain't never been to France.

And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says.

But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places.

And in English, too.

So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me.

Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis.

I only mention it because sometimes there's a man...
I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero?

But sometimes, there's a man.

And I'm talkin' about the Dude here.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place.

He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles.

And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that.

Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide.

But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man.

Aw. I lost my train of thought here.

But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.

Has anyone else seen the book that Jeff Bridges co-wrote? It's mentioned a little bit in the link in the OP.

The Dude and the Zen Master

The link goes to a transcript of part of the interview, the entire interview is available through the "listen to" link.

Sweet. Pity the reporter couldn't work one in about how this obviously came to pass because somebody fucked with the Jesus.

Strange, I went bowling with my family two weeks ago and I had a pistol on but I guess by the grace of god it didn't magically go off. Maybe that guy is just an idiot?
