It was just about six months ago that Welle, 56, turned his resemblance to Jeff Bridges' character Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski in Joel and Ethan Coen's "The Big Lebowski" into a business venture, working in his off time as The Flathead Dude for events and charitable endeavors around the valley. But his transformation into the role began during the pandemic. He had let his hair and beard grow out as Covid-19 upended the world and suddenly saw The Dude looking back at him in the mirror.

Welle thought it would make a perfect Halloween costume, but that meant doing some research. Though a fan of other films directed by the Coen brothers, like "Raising Arizona" and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou," he had yet to see "The Big Lebowski."

"If I'm going to do this for Halloween, I should watch the movie," he recalled thinking. "I watched it and was like, this is amazing, this is brilliant."

American inflation looks increasingly worrying

“Now, I really understand The Big Lebowski, but I didn’t at the time.”

Fuckin' amateurs.

I’ve been trying to get something Lebowski related out of the “Image Playground” app on my phone, but any missing toes are actually just AI being AI.

GHO not a fan of the Eagles

Found a pair of videos from an eagle nest cam. Their local GHO is not a fan of having their type in the neighborhood and expresses its concerns in the way owls do.

To be fair, the eagles likely return the favor during the daylight.

Ferret Frenzy!

“I was disappointed like you were,” Bridges told host Jimmy Kimmel, speaking about the results of last week’s US election. He added that he, too, is “going through the grieving process” of that.

As he works through that, he said, he now feels like he’s being called to be “a courageous person.”

“So I am looking for community that shares my dream of how the world could be and I’m aligning with that, doing my best to create that dream,” Bridges said.

You're a Lebowski, I'm a Lebowski, that's great, but I'm very busy so what can I do for you?

The Dude Abides.
