The Dude's little helper

[BikerDude]

I find it very appropriate that in one scene at the bowling alley we see the Dude applying a coat of new skin to his thumb.
It's very common in bowling where you easily develop a blister on the thumb.
And the Dude (being the Dude) just brushes on a new coat of skin and keeps on rolling.

New Skin is very Dude indeed.

I use it on my thumb when I do a lot of finger picking guitar.
I can't get used to a thumb pick and it's tough on the thumb and pointer finger.
