Duderonomy: Rules to live by, and sometimes break

Every year we talk about attending Lebowskifest, and every year we fail to go. Lewbowskifest is a weekend long celebration of the movie The Big Lebowski held in Louisville, Kentucky. The festival includes a bowling tournament, a costume contest, features a bunch of musical performances, and of course a screening of the film itself. It sounds like heaven for any Little Lewbowski Urban Achiever.

Who knows, we may never make it the festival. That doesn't mean that we can't bring a little bit of Lebowski with us wherever we go. Now we have Dudeism.

"The slowest-growing religion in the world - Dudeism. An ancient philosophy that preaches non-preachiness, practices as little as possible, and above all, uh...lost my train of thought there. Anyway, if you'd like to find peace on earth and goodwill, man, we'll help you get started. Right after a little nap.

At the Dudeism website you can check out the Book of Duderonomy. A set of rules that you can choose to live by, or not live by, or even break if you feel like it. You know, whatever man. For instance, Book 3 of Duderonomy: Rule Number 5 says:

"5. Try not to use so many cuss words. Unless they're near and dear to your heart, in which case, fuck it."
