The Big Lebowski Phonetic Alphabet

I find myself in a line of work where where I need to communicate long strings of letters over the telephone very precisely.... And frankly, this NATO Phonetic Alphabet business just isn't cutting it anymore:

http://en.wikipedia.or...ic_alphabet

I propose that we here on Grupthink create a new system - A BETTER system - Using _only_ characters, phrases, places, and objects that are featured in the cinematic classic The Big Lebowski.

Which letter / word combinations do you propose?
