The Big Lebowski
What a classic movie...for those of you who have yet to see it, run out and get it now. Don't worry about renting it. Just buy it. It will be worth every penny. Now, it is not for youngsters...the use of the F bomb is fairly pervasive. But, overall, the movie is outstanding.
The main characters are Jeff Labowski, aka "the dude", Walter and Donnie. The movie starts out with Dude getting his rug stolen (well, it starts out with him drinking half and half from the carton inside a Ralphs grocery store and then writing a check for .69 while watching Bush senior talking about how Saddams aggression "will not stand") and attacked by a couple guys in his apt. that are actually looking for a different Jeff Lebowski (The "Big" Lebowski). It goes on from there with this case of mistaken identity...it covers self-kidnapping, nehilism, modern art, insemination, friendship, but mostly...bowling. The above-mentioned trio constitutes a very talented bowling team in Santa Monica.
Here are my top ten lines/conversations to give you some flavor of the movie:
10. It tied the room together, did it not? (referring to the stolen rug) - Walter
9. Um, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, please, Asian-American. - Walter
8. What the F are you talking about Walter? I'm not talking about someone who built the F'ing railroads here...I'm talking about the guy who peed on my rug! - Dude in response to Walter
7. Donnie, you are out of your element! - Walter (often)
6. Am I wrong?...No, Walter you're not wrong...Am I wrong?...No Walter, you're not wrong, you're just an a-hole! (Walter and Dude after Walter pulls a pistol at bowling league)
5. What the F is this? (guy from first scene while holding a bowling ball) Obviously, you're not a golfer - Dude
4. Oh yeah? Well, that's just, like, your opinion man. - The Dude to Jesus
3. Oh, he doesn't care, he's a nehilist - Bunny Lebowski....Ah, must be exhausting - dude
2. what is this? - dude...Its the ringer dude...my dirty laundry...the whites! - Walter
1. Ugh, I am distracted by the choke I am watching the Lakers pull here. getting destroyed in OT. OK...the number one quote from the Big Lebowski...F it Dude, let's go bowling. - Walter (multiple times)
Alright Greg...I'm sure you have some additions to this. Anyone else who is a fan, let me know what I missed.

I will guess that the first anonymous post is from my sister...but I don't know who the last one was from. Signing up is free (though it does take 30 seconds), but if you don't want to sign up, please identify yourself so I can keep track of my "legion of fans" :-)
Thanks for posting!!

BTW, I was wondering what it would take to get peeps to think that my thoughts are troubling...I am guessing the PC song put me over the top. hahaha
