The Early Favorites - Costume Contest

In the end, last year's controversial costume contest went to Walter.



The 5th Annual Lebowski DC is still two months away, but that's not too early to rank this year's likely winners for the costume contest. Many were unhappy with my choice of Walter over the Kill-Your-Fucking-Car guy, but I defend and stand by that decision here. This year's early favorites:

1. Chris Chase -- He has made it clear to me already, on several occasions, that his costume will be the clear winner, "if I can pull it off."

2. Jeremy Becker -- Still stinging from last year's close loss, Becker intends to claim what he thinks is rightfully his.

3. Ben Horowitz -- To rank the two-time defending costume champion third is an insult. Will he rise to the challenge or, like Arthur Digby Sellers, is his creativity on life-support?

4. Robbie Jaffe -- In previous years, the Saddam costume would have won him the crown. Last year it was only good enough for third place. Will he abide another poor performance?

5. Ben Cooper -- They say the bums will always lose, but last year Cooper pulled off a fantastic In-N-Out Burger hat without even realizing that those good burgers were from the movie. If that's not a naturally lazy, Dude-like move, I don't know what is.

Seeing that first pic reminded me how gentle Horo was with my balls. Look closely, you'll see.
