'Lebowski' Fans: Do You Follow the Word of 'The Dude'?
http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/mailform?id=16023289 "Leboswki" fans unite! One die-hard fan of "The Big Lebowski" has taken the Coen Brothers' film to a whole new level with founding The Church of the Latter Day Dude (my note: www.dudeism.com), an emerging religious movement based around the "life and teachings" of Jeff Bridges' character, "The Dude." "Nightline" is looking for "Lebowski" enthusiasts, who are already following the word of "The Dude," or who would consider following it, for an upcoming segment. To participate, you must be 18 or older and be able to be in New York City the afternoon of Monday, April 23. Fill out the form below and a "Nightline" producer may be in touch with you. More info at url.

20. I watched the first 15 minutes and turned it off when it was FIRST on cable...I hated it...
|
...then about a year ago I watched it on Netflix.
I've watched it 20 or 30 times since. Can't explain it. It really struck me the wrong way the first time around. I think it was a matter of loving "Fargo" and thinking "it was made by the same guys...maybe I should give it another chance." Glad I did.  |

I've been an atheist since my teens and I'm 70 years old.
NOW I learn about Dudeism and find I'm no longer an atheist. I'm a Dudeist. Damn. Who knew? Thank you very much. It's all cool.  |

10. Just got my ordination certificate.

From The Church of the Latter Day Dude.
I can now officiate at weddings, funerals, exorcisms, christenings, ship launchings, and bar mitzvahs (I'm pretty sure). I'm available for a modest honorarium.
