First Things First

I'm slow to it but I am finally a blogger...It's terrifying I know, but then again I figure there won't be many who read each if any at all. Then again I'm counting on the fact that most people will get lost at illbethereman.blogspot.com.

Which brings me to the first of many rants that will be posted on this here page.

So last christmas, my gurfriend, my brother and myself managed to scrape together the right kind of money to meet a buddy, who flew out from Kansas, at the most awesome event every dreamed of by average joes, The Lebowski Fest in Hollywood. Yes that's right. The one event simply dedicated to the most awesome movie ever created and filmed by not so average joes, the Big Lebowski. There's music, there's a bar. You get to meet some of the actors, big and small timers, and drink gallons and gallons of booze! It's so awesome it should be free! At the end everyone tries to sit still to watch the Big Lebowski on a projector. I love it.

So to move along here, at said event, I bought a bumper sticker that says, "Not on the rug, man..." which is a classic of all classic line from the Big Lebowski. A quick explanation of the quote: The dude is being harrassed by some goons who have the wrong lebowski and in an effort convince the dude to give them "zee money" one goon decides to pee on the dudes rug to teach him a lesson. The dude procedes to pull his glasses to the edge of his nose and say, "not on the rug, maaaaan...."

The rant comes into play when I'm approached by someone who happens to read the bumper sticker which is perfectly placed on the left side of the back bumper.

Inquirer: "Not on the rugman? What does that mean?"

Me: "It's not on the rug, MAN. Rug and man are seperate words and man is a pronoun."

Inquirer: "Not on the rug, man? What is that?"

Me: "It's an awesome quote from the Big Lebowski. You should check it out if you haven't already."

Inquirer: "That's cool"

Five minutes later another person comes up to ask, "What does notontherugman mean?"

Me: "Que la!"
