March 6 is the annual sacred high holy day of Dudeism: The Day of the Dude.

So light one up if you got one and toss back some caucasians (white russians).

"When "The Big Lebowski" was released 16 years ago, it received somewhat mixed reviews and was a box-office disappointment. But the comedy, written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, has risen in critics' estimation over the years and has developed a cult following.

March 6 is the anniversary of the 1998 film's release. Fans celebrate it as "The Day of the Dude," in honor of the easygoing philosophy of the movie's protagonist, played by Jeff Bridges. Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is a single, unemployed slacker who likes weed, White Russians and bowling."

I loved the Coens from Blood Simple on. They made the Big Lebowski right after Fargo and that the success it brought them, and my thoughts were they got a lot of money for this and not much there. Well, it's like an onion that got much better the more layers you peeled after several viewings. Now I put it up there with Blood Simple and Fargo as my favorites and the best IMHO of the Coens' films.

Also a good day to wish Jeff Bridges well.
