Ever since we watched Oscar winner Jeff Bridges’ old comedy The Big Lebowski, we’ve been dying to try out the White Russian.

If you remember the movie, that’s The Dude’s favorite drink.

As a matter of fact, White Russian’s popularity in recent years owes to The Big Lebowski.

There are differing opinions on the origins of the White Russian.

On Wiki, there’s some talk that White Russian’s origins may date back to the end of World War I while others see references to it in the mid-1950s.

Like all things old, the White Russian’s origins too remains shrouded in the mists of history.

This evening, our White Russian urge got so high that we perforce had to capitulate before Bacchus.

White Russian – The Dude was Right

We already had Skyy Vodka in our liquor cabinet.

So all we needed was Coffee Liqueur and some cream.

Off we dashed to our Gujju liquor store and headed for the liqueur aisle. There was Kahlua, Starbucks and a bunch of other coffee liqueurs on the shelves including the Mexican import Kamora.

We picked Kamora because it had 20% alcohol while Kahlua had only 17% alcohol content. Plus, at $10.99 Kamora was $7 cheaper.

And you do know the only thing desis in the U.S. love more than a blonde p*ssy is a cheaper price-tag, right?

Kreacher, did we need the Pig, Dip in the Pool and The Landlady in these short winter days of our life.

Whatever possessed you to recommend Roald Dahl’s stories to us.

Well, we won’t hold you completely responsible.

You see our appetite for Dahl’s short stories was also whetted by our recent reading of Dahl’s longer, raunchy, rambunctious work My Uncle Oswald.

Since Dahl’s short stories were not easily available at our county libraries, we had to fall back upon our usual reliable source – Amazon.

The postman delivered our new copy of The Best of Roald Dahl from Amazon yesterday.

Comprised of a selection of 29 short stories culled from Dahl’s Switch Bitch, Kiss Kiss, Over to You, Someone Like You and The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, our collection includes the Pig, The Landlady, The Bestseller, Edward the Conqueror and 21 other pieces.

We’ve read four stories so far – Pig, The landlady, Dip in the Pool and The Hitchhiker.

The fourth one is fluff.

And  of the first three it’s hard to say which one is most depressing.

Being colored ourselves, we dig Black.

We just love the sight of them Black women with their regal carriage, swinging derrieres, big mouth, dyed hair and all.

Bet we’re no exceptions.

Say, who doesn’t like a good black mama with big bouncing tits and a bigger bountiful booty squealing under him?

Who doesn’t, eh?

Ah, the very Black thought is enough to induce White nirvana.

But mind you, ebony hoochies have their price.

A big price, much higher than the $75 you pay for the 30-minute quickie with your Black hoochie momma at the rundown desi motel.

The Centers for Disease Control has put out a study saying that Black women in the 14-49 age group have the highest rate of Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) in America.

No kidding, jerks.

And for the benefit of all ye schmucks, HSV-2 is an incurable infection that can cause recurrent and painful genital sores.

According to the CDC, Black women (in the 14-49 age group) are the most affected HSV-2 category in America with a prevalence rate of 48%.

Ajay Devgan’s Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge has fared rather badly at the UK box office.

The comedy, which also featured Paresh Rawal and Konkona Sen Sharma, is about a guest who overstays his welcome.

Here’s how Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge has fared at the UK box office compared to a few other prominent Bollywood films:

Now that Jeff Bridges has won the Best actor Oscar, it’s time for a deko at some of his movies.

We’ve watched his Arlington Road back in the days when Blockbuster used to stock mostly video cassettes.

So when two three SI blog readers recently suggested The Big Lebowski, we thought why not since the movie is easily accessible on Netflix Instant Play.

Directed and written by the Coen brothers Joel and Ethan, The Big Lebowski debuted in 1998 to mostly favorable reviews.

Besides Jeff Bridges, the other members of the film’s cast include John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, Tara Reid, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Elliott, Peter Stormare, John Turturro, Jon Polito and Ben Gazzara.

OK, kids. We’ve watched 22 minutes of the film so far.

Yes, we’ve met The Dude.

The Chinaman has peed on his rug.

One of The Dude’s buddies has drawn a firearm at the bowling alley.

The Dude’s stolen a fancy rug from Mr.Lebowski’s place.

And The Dude is back at Mr.Lebowski’s place! Why? We have no clue yet.

You can be sure we’ll update this post after we finish the 117-minute movie.

Update:

Don’t you call him Lebowski! He’s the Dude.

Folks, dudes, Jeff Bridges should have received the Oscar 12 years back for his solid performance in The Big Lebowski.

A fine movie, folks. Mucho like.

Some of our readers whine (what else would these schmucks do) that we have an inherent bias against Indian movies and Indian film stars.

Ha ha ha.

Folks, you watch comedies like The Big Lebowski and actors like Jeff Bridges (The Dude) and John Goodman (who plays the Dude’s buddy and Vietnam War veteran) and then you see Ajith, Abhishek Bachchan and Jagapati Babu peeing all over themselves time and again.

Statutory Warning: All Religions are Equally Stupid

The Wall Street Journal on Saturday featured an interview with Hamas traitor Mosab Hassan Yousef, a confessed spy for Israeli security agency Shin Bet, a convert to Christianity and also oldest son of a Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.

In the interview, here’s what the Hamas traitor Mosab has to say about Muslims and their God Allah:

The problem is not in Muslims. The problem is with their God. They need to be liberated from their God. He is their biggest enemy. It has been 1,400 years they’ve been lied to.
Source: Wall Street Journal, The Weekend Interview, P. A13 (Print Edition), 3/6/2010

Although we’re not convinced by Mossab’s new-found love for ‘grace, love and humility’ in Christianity, we’re inclined to be sympathetic toward his unsympathetic views on Allah, professed as they are by a traitor with a political asylum application pending before the U.S. government.

You see, as we slowly trudge down the pages of the Quran, Allah’s tyrannical views, loathing for disbelievers and contemptuous disdain for a live and let live worldview seeps through strongly, starkly and yes, even sinfully.

Allah’s way is the way of the tyrant – My Way or Everlasting Fires of Hell for You.

Not an enthralling prospect.

Again and again and again, Allah stokes the malicious embers in the hearts of the people through the verses in his Quran.

And sadly, the Muslims, for whom the Quran is more potent than the combination of the Bible, Torah and Bhagavad Gita, tend to take everything in the Quran as the last word.

After all, isn’t the Quran the word of Allah, and the recipe for Muslims’ very existence.

Here are some of the verses in the Quran that feature Allah behaving in an un-God like fashion and shows him in a poor light (By the way, God with a capital G in the verses below is a reference to Allah):

But the disbelievers will have a drink of scalding water, and agonizing torment, because they persistently disbelieved. (Sura 10 Aya 4)

Those who do not expect to meet Us and are pleased with the life of this world, contenting themselves with it and paying no heed to Our signs, shall have the Fire for their home because of what they used to do. But as for those who believe and do good deeds, their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Streams will flow at their feet in the Gardens of Bliss. (Sura 10 Aya 8,9 & 10)

Who could be more wicked than someone who invents lies against God or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper. (Sura 10 Aya 17)

If ‘agonizing torment’ and ’scalding water’ are assuredly what awaits people for the mere misdemeanor of disbelief, then Allah is no God. No matter his repeated claims to omniscience and omnipotence.
