The Dude of Walter

[RevWade]

Without Walter we would not have the movie as it is today.  Would the Big Lebowski have as much as an impact if Walter wasn't there.  Sure the Dude could have just had pee stains on his rug, but where would we be?  Dudeists we would not be.  It is the Tao.  The Way

Oh yes I agree, Walter, is an essential part of the developing message. Not all of it an unspoken message. He is the personification of all of the external actions and results. Necessary to necessary to show how the dude becomes sadly a victim most of the time.
All of us will encounter Walters on the "Way" and we may lose a Torino or two, but the brain is the key. Use your brain parts, be they internal, external or harmoniously neither. That'd be yer Tao.
Dude found the path/lane.

Fucking correct dudes, fucking correct.

And, I would add, that without "guard-dog" sheeps die, or are at the mercy of strangers. Because there are wolves around.

People forget that the brain is the biggest erogenous zone.

Are you talking about coitus?

Are you talking about coitus?

All the time! 

[RevWade]

I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand dude!

[greatspiritmonk]

Before or after coitus? 

[RevWade]

I don't know, but certainly not during

[greatspiritmonk]

Fucking A, man.

I'm not convinced of this. I mean, Walter causes a lot of problems for the Dude with his attitude. Walter's provocation got Dude into the whole mess. Dude was going to just let the carpet-pissing slide but Walter had to go all "draw a line in the sand," man. Dude could'a been sitting at home with just piss stains... Also, Walter's "calm" uzi trick got Dudes car all banged up. Walter is responsible for further damage to Dude's car when he tries to show lil' Sellers what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass. And let's not forget, if Walter had just gone along with Dude and Donny and given the nihilists, what, like $20 then Donny would still be with us. Walter is the king of uptight thinking. But that's cool with the Dude, so it's cool with me. You guys do what ya gotta do, but remember, Walter might not be wrong but he's definitely an asshole.

I dig your thoughts, dude.  My reasoning for seeing Walter as a dudeish type character is that he doesn't let the outside forces influence him, where as the Dude let's Welter get him into trouble, which results in his stress.  If the Dude would have drawn the line in the sand, well' y'know...

Also, I dig you dudes.  You guys know how to have a great discussion without the aggression and the what-have-yous.  Also, there aren't any fucking marmonts around here; good news for my johnson.
