[mountainDude]

I've known about this for awhile, but didn't see any talk of it on here.    Hope everything pans out for the guy.

The report went on to say that police responded to the scene and found Russell "not acting normal." Police said that Russell was found smoking marijuana in the parking lot with a co-defendant, and that a search revealed that Russell had more marijuana in his possession, the story said.

HA! Sounds like he was just having some fun! 

[BikerDude]

Bummer!
That's a bummer man!

Mind if I do a J?

[jgiffin]

I have but two questions.*

1.  Who is this "Russell" dude?

2.  How much is Oliver's bail?











*Both are rhetorical and entirely sarcastic in nature.

Well dude, we just don't know.

I have to admit that I can't help but chuckle a bit at the fact that he was arrested at a bowling alley where police found him "not acting normal."

I'm just wondering if this contravenes a number of the league's bylaws.

Also he took "a bladed stance".
I'm assuming that he pulled a Dude to Dafino?

"Why you following me the fuck around? C'mon fuckhead!"

The mind can't help but fill in the blanks.
All in all, despite the regrettable outcome, I'd have to say that getting busted behind a bowling alley smoking a joint and taking a bladed stance is a circumstance worthy of the Dude himself.

Also doesn't he have one of the weed cards?
I hear you can get them for a hang nail out in California.

Pretty much, yeah.  As long as you've got the bones, or clams, or whatever you call them, to pay the doctor's fees, and have copies of your medical records that state you have some sort of medical condition.  And if you're married, for a few extra bucks you can get one for your wife or husband "just in case you can't make it to the dispensary yourself and your spouse has to act as your caregiver."  Also, I don't know how it works in other states but here in California they don't actually give you a card.  As soon as you get your "prescription" from your "doctor" your driver's license number goes on a list somewhere, and when you show up at a dispensary they call a 1-800 number to verify you're on the list.  But the whole thing is still only quasi-legal here and dispensaries get shut down by local law enforcement regularly for any number of reasons.

Can't see anything going wrong here.

Maybe they could stitch little yellow stars on peoples' shoulders, too, that way you wouldn't have to check the list.

The "conspiracy theory" types would probably say it's just another way for Big Brother to keep track of what we're doing, but I really don't give a rat's ass.  I did what I was supposed to do, let 'em keep track if they want to.  I thought it was a relatively simple solution to use an identification system that's already in place.  But I don't know what they do if the "patient" doesn't have a driver's license or a legal California identification card; I never thought to ask.

I continually wish that I could just move someplace and build a compound.
Big fences around a village where we could just do what we want and not hurt anybody.
And grow the herb if we want.
Totally off the grid. Now that would be paradise.

There are other Lebowskifests in places like California, but Will Russell was the guy who founded it, and he's a Louisville guy.

I second this.  That would be paradise.
