What's This "Day of Rest" Shit?

Well, it's 4/20. Or, as it shall be called from here on... Lebowski Day. Tonight, April 20, is the Museum of Modern Art screening of The Big Lebowski. Talk about a collision of high and low culture. Suffice it to say, I am excited about big-screen Lebowski to the point of near-obsession. In that spirit, here's a Dude soundboard to play with. Also, the IMDB's Lebowski trivia page has some fascinating nuggets.

In order to better understand the holiday, I did a little digging into the origins of 4/20. Not surprisingly, my research began -- and essentially ended -- with High Times. There's a more conventional exploration here.

Speaking of drugs, I was surprised to find that the funniest piece in the new issue of The Onion was... you ready for this?... a review of the new NARC video game.

Thanks to Lance for an amazing link: The Online Home of the Rock Snob's Dictionary.

Happy Lebowski Day!! Don't forget to "spark up a doobie" or whatever.
