There are many reasons to celebrate March 31st, 2008. Those reasons could include the opening of the Major League Baseball season or seeing all four number one seeds reach the NCAA Final Four. Alas, those are not the real reasons to celebrate. The reason to celebrate March 31st is due to one man: Christopher Walken.

March 31st, 2008 is Christopher Walken's 65th birthday. The first order of business is to print this Walken mask and wear it. All day. The second order of business is the airing of your Favorite Walken Moment. Yes, many of you are sure to mention cowbells or Fatboy Slim, these do not come close to my Favorite Walken Moment.

My Favorite Christopher Walken Moment is in "Catch Me If You Can". This is an entertaining movie but one scene with Walken and Leonardo DiCaprio seals the deal for me. When they are eating in the expensive restaurant and DiCaprio's character, Frank, tries to give his father (Walken) a brand new car, what happens there is Walken at his finest. He has a small monologue that not only brings tears to my eyes, brings tears to Walken's eyes. Those are legit tears too because there is no edit or cutaway. That is Walken crying.

So happy birthday Chris! Keep cooking those chickens with pears!
