Backpackers Creed?

I do not know if any one out there has seen the movie The Big Lebowski by the Coen Brothers, (Fargo, Oh Brother where art Thou?, No Country For Old Men,...), I really enjoyed it.
I aspire to (and yet it partially eludes me:() Dudism - The Church of Latter Day Dude:)

Check out some the links on that site, it's really funny stuff.

A Certificate of Ordination may be appropriate on a hostel common room wall even if only for laughs and conversation.

Life is short and complicated and nobody knows what to do about it. So don't do anything about it. Just take it easy, man. Stop worrying so much whether you'll make it into the finals. Kick back with some friends and some oat soda and whether you roll strikes or gutters, do your best to be true to yourself and others - that is to say, abide.
