Walter: I told those fucks down at the league office a thousand times that I don't roll on Shabbos!
Donny: What's Shabbos?
Walter: Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don't fucking roll! Shomer shabbos!
The Dude: Walter...
Walter: Shomer fucking shabbos.
The Dude: Oh fuck it. I'm out of here.

Some of his achievements:

A former member of the SAS and awarded the Sultan's Bravery Medal.

Co-leader of the Ubar Expedition (which in 1991 discovered Ptolemy's long-lost Atlantis of the Sands, the frankincense centre of the world).

He is acknowledged in the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds greatest living explorer.

Sir Ranulph's expeditions have raised over ?4.2 million for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, (which has enabled the building of Europe's first MS research centre in Cambridge) and ?1.9 million for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Wiki Ranulph Fiennes Biography

In case you were not aware then, a recent BBC documentary series may be of interest. :)
Wiki said:
In late 2008/early 2009 Fiennes took part in a new BBC program called

Top Dogs: Adventures in War, Sea and Ice.

The program sees Fiennes unite with fellow British legends John Simpson, the BBC World Affairs Editor, and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the round-the-world yachtsman. The team go on three trips, each experiencing each others adventure field. The first episode, aired on 27th March 2009, saw Fiennes, Simpson and Knox-Johnston go on a potentially very dangerous news-gathering trip to Afghanistan. The team reported from the legendary Khyber Pass and infamous Tora Bora mountain complex. The three also undertake a voyage around Cape Horn and an expedition hauling sledges across the deep-frozen Frobisher Bay in the far north of Canada
 
If Ranulph is in so is Steve. . .
