I just wondered: Are the also Polish dudes around here?
Czy jest/sa tutaj tez Dudes lub Dudas z Polsce?
Faithfully BE
...z Polski :)
Yep, I come from Poland, don't live there any more though. There's one Pole on our google map, but I've never seen him on the forum.
Why asking?
Thanks, jakubol, my Polish is very poor, forgive me. "W Polsce"/ in Poland" and "z Polski/ from Poland"...I try to remember that.
To answer your question: "Lebowski" is a Polish name, and Walter Sobchak is of Polish descendence, too, am I wrong?
Also, I know the movie has fans in Poland, too.
So I was just curious. Wiec, bylem ciekawy
:)

OK :)
Yes, Lebowski and Sobchak (orig. Sobczak) are typical Polish surnames. Besides the Dude says to Walter that he's no Jew - he's Polish Catholic so it confirms it.
Nice to see you know some Polish. My soon-to-be-brother-in-law, who is Welsh, is trying to learn some and it's not looking good :)
Who does look good, when she or he tries to speak Polish but is not a Pole? ;D
I love Polish but I think it is damn hard to get a foothold in that language.
Pozdrawiam!

"when she or he tries to speak Polish"
Either way, sounds as if someone's eager to get a bit of Pole in them.
;D I'm sorry but I'm British - sometimes it's hard to resist . . it's in the genes, man.
Well, CB I knew that a German joke is no laughing matter....
;D
@cake: Only if that's a telegraph pole :P
Sorry, but I'm Polish so that probably wasn't that funny. But I know what you mean - British have great sense of humor and you can say to others much more without offending them. Some of the best comedy I've seen in my life is British and it's very popular in Poland - Monthy Python and 'Allo 'Allo being best examples. I'm trying to fit in here and I think I could do worse.
@Erwin: back in my school days I was learning German and in my best days I actually watched some German TV. Star Trek, as it was almost impossible to find on Polish TV, and my number one - TV Total with Stefan Raab. Man, I liked it. The parts I understood, at least :D
There is no such thing as a German joke! But thank you for you trying Bruder Erwin.... ;)

I beg to differ: A german is visiting Brazil and in an out of the way little town he recognizes Hitler. He approaches and claims hhis admiration and that the modern world needs his help. Hitler tells him he is mistaken and tries to dismiss him. The german persists and gives examples of the out of control liberalism ,decadence, lack of respect for authority. Hitler vehemently tells him he is wrong, he's not Hitler. The german tourist is pleading with Hitler to return and lead the Reich to greater glory. Finally Hitler relents and in a whisper says, you are right, I am Hitler and I will return and lead the german people to glory and victory, but on one conndition. The german says of course, anything. Hitler looks him in the eye and says, I will return and I will lead Germany to victory, ......but no more Mr. Nice Guy. It sounds better when spoken with a german accent.
It's Brandt, at that polish fucks office, Mr Lebowski.
hahahaha
that's a Hit.
here's something i always say to germans which gets a laugh.
Wilst du sheissen
Ohne kraft
Trink apfelsaft
Sehr spassig. Ja?
Hmmm. The keiser.
Wilst du sheissen
Ohne kraft
Trink apfelsaft
Whilst you shit
without power
drink apple juice
Now, there's a haiku for the boards. ;D
I think it's "If you want to shit without power (difficulty), drink apple juice."
Words to shit by.

Ha Ha Ha, yes, I see you went to college!
One of Mr. Lebowski's favorite bits of scattological hhumor is about Stasch and Lech out hunting and Stasch says, gottdam I got to shit but got nutting to wipe my ass, So Lech says, you got money, wipe your ass with a dollar. So Stasch goes behind a tree and you hear grunting and swearing and Stasch reappears with shit on his hands, ellbows, eyebrows, pants, and Lech says did you do what I said, wipe your ass with a dollar? Stasch say fuck yeah. So why da shit all over you? Stasch replies, you ever try to wipe your ass with tree' quarters, two dimes and a nickel. Souunds better when using a polish accent. At least he did'nt shit on his rug.

Not bad, forumdude. I have minor objections concerning the spelling ;D, but we don't want to split hairs here, do we?
Also, f-dude, your translation is correct. "Kraft" could also be translated with "strength"

I liked Raab in the beginning of TV total - that must have been some time in the 90s? It wore out then a bit, I think. Or I got too old, maybe ;)

I come from poland , end we in my country have great regard for DUDE, but only people with a sense of humor and thinking, not locked up in a religious fanatics ;) sorry for my english, is a blend of my learned and online translator :)
Witam Nynek,
good to have you here! Dobrze, ze jestes tutaj!
And... yes I think what you said applies to all countries, I mean that about people with a sense of humor and not being religious fanatics. That's why we meet here in this nice and quiet beach community.
Where about in Poland are you from, czy moge zapytac.
Don't worry about your English!

8) Welcome to the electronic Lodge, Nynek . . any rug in the place, the bar's over there
Siema Nynek! Nareszcie ktos z Polski.
Yes Nynek, you're very right, there's too many uptight people in Poland, they can't really relax and often it's because of the religion. It changes for better all the time, but it's hard for someone who's been brainwashed since little kid and for the whole life. They simply can't imagine doing or saying some things that are obvious for us, true dudes :D
Welcome to the best forum out there and don't worry about your English - nobody here cares about such details. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Okay then.
BTW - you can pin yourself down here: http://tinyurl.com/dudemap
Abide!

That's exactly right, man. It was somewhere in mid-to-late 90s. I have no idea how it went after that, because I went to live if different city (university, I wish I had occupied some government buildings instead) and had no cable or sat TV.
It's possible that it was more for me than it was really worth, 'cause there was simply nothing like that in Poland. I mean big budget, really famous guests and all that. Plus he had some really great ideas, which he could realise being so big. Plus it's my youth, so I probably exaggerate a bit :)
No, jakubol, I think you were totally right about Raab.
He had this "lightness" about him, it was just fun. And he made most things up spontaneously while doing the show. And he never took himself seriously. So, yes quite a dude.
Did you know he went in the box ring with Regina Hallmich once (the German female box champion, about half his weight), on telly, and it did not seem as if it was a fake.
Faithfully BE
...and he isn't exactly a lightweight, I should add ;D

I remember that. She broke his nose and he even managed to land a punch :) He had it (the punch video) under one of the buttons on his table. Good times...
Yeah, man, he did better though in the second fight. He stayed on his feet for full six rounds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke1d_OBnT7I
The "national anthem" sung by "Mrs Kraushaar" (Curlyhair) is fun already. And he called himself the Killerplauze (killer-paunch), and his secret boxing technique he called the cellulite-whip. Also, he wanted to become the vice world champion of female boxing.
They really take the piss.
Faithfully BE
Fuck me, man, that was brilliant! I watched all of it. How did he do it I don't know! He was out of breath in first round, almost dropped dead in third, but then even landed some punches and won 5. round! Good stuff. Some new shit came to the light for me. Thanks for that!
Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, dude, that thanks to him I found out about Gina Wild :D
And this, man - just remembered. It was some protest for legalizing weed in Germany and some older guy, proper veteran, shouted "Gebt das Half frei". Raab made a song around it and even got Shaggy to do a part in it :) That was good one. Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm45eR4ljCU
Love it, man! Wasn't aware of it. But who the fuck is Gina Wild?
The older guy shouting "Gebt das Hanf frei" (Literally: Give the weed free; meaning: Legalize it) is Hans-Christian Stroebele, a politician, member of the Green Party and the Bundestag (German Parliament). I think he is a pacifist, too. I don't know whether he has emotional problems beyond that, or whether he is fragile ;D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Christian_Str%C3%B6bele
http://www.stroebele-online.de/
Also, jaku, I would like to qualify my statement about the more recent Raab. He still is good. Watched parts of one of his shows a couple of days ago. He is still doing very well at ridiculing the most shitty moments of TV.
You don't know Gina Wild?! Come on, bud, she's one of the most talented actresses out there - especially if you still jerk off manually :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Wild
Much obliged, jaku-dude, for filling that educational lacuna ;D
Cheers BE
