• Sometimes the bear eats you

  The Coen brothers have been getting lots of Oscar buzz for their new movie, No Country for Old Men, which comes out on Friday. And it got us to talking about our other favorite Coen brothers movies, like the indisputable classic, The Big Lebowski.

  Well, it seems we're not the only ones talking about The Dude et al. We found this hilarious forum of non-native English speakers trying to parse the meeting of the Lebowski line 'sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.'

  Let's just say they get law firms and Daniel Boone involved in the debate. Priceless.
