I've learned how not to be fatuous.
I've learned that no matter how hard i may think i want it, i do not want to become a roadie for Metallica...bunch of assholes.
I have learned if some conflict comes my way just to you know... put on my sunglasses and "fuck it"
I learned not to shit myself with fear when a bunch of Nihilists mail me a fucking toe!
Fuck it.
I learned that "some days you eat the b'ar. And some days, well, the b'ar, he eats you".
Frank
I learned what day it is.
Is this, what ah what day is this?
I learned how to make a Helluva caucasian.
I learn how to abide.
And obviously i learn that I can die with a smile on my
face without feelin' like the good
Lord gypped me. :)
Ive learned...uh, er, yeah...
I've learned that when reactionaries and other members of the square community try and get you down, you can always say fuck it and be happy.
I learned that standards have fallen in adult entertainment.
I learned that Vietnam relates to just about everything, in a way.
I learned shit, I was to busy occupying various administration buildings, bowling, smokin' Thai stick.
Take it easy, I know you will.
Oh, you know, the usual. Bowl.
Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
I learned that Souix City Sarsaparilla is a good one.
A nice quiet beach community to stay out of.
That it's a male myth about feminists that they hate sex.
Never take advice from your PTSD addled Vietnam vet buddy. They view everything as matters of lines in the sand and taming unchecked agression.
This whole thing started because Walter managed to talk Dude into doing something very undudelike. Going to the Big Lebowski and making a beef over the rug.
I'm grateful that we got to go along for the ride and see something ever bit as stupefying as the queen in her damned undies. But was it worth it for the characters involved? Some nihilist chick lost her toe, Walter lost his dirty undies, and the Dude lost his consciousness several times and a beverage or two. Donnie croaked, but I don't know if you can attribute that solely to events since he might have a heart attack regardless of whether there was a confrontation with the Nihilists in the parking lot.
And unfortunately (or just punishment depending on your point of view) the Big Lebowski didn't lose his wife.
What you lose, you can never really get back. No use pining over rugs. Best to just keep on trudging on and abide.
That the LAPD sometimes finds these stolen cars.
I learned that you can never trust a known pornographer who gives you a drink telling you that he will pay some percentage of money dewed.
Fuck the tournament!
I learned the In-and-Out Burger is on Camrose.
I thought it was on Radford
Think I learned most that, how bad the plain crashes into the mountain, it never helps to become uptight about anything. Just stay cool, relax, take it easy. There is never a reason to become undude.
This site helps with that as wel, cause it makes you realise that there are many dudes out there, who will take it easy, even if you won't!

Arthur Digby Sellers house is on Radford. Ever hear of a little show called "Branded"?
Who the fuck is Arthur Digby Sellers?
I learned that Bunny can't blow that far.
She can blow, and Brandt must have watched before, did you get that impression?
That even when your in a fuckin' iron lung in your own private residence, man, they will STILL ask you if you're fuckin' writing! :o
You can't go out looking for a job dressed like that..
on a weekday

That just because we may be bereaved, that doesn't make us saps.
Yes sir. It is our most modestly priced receptacle.

i learned 2 things...
i'm an affirmed coen brothers fan...
...and there is absolutely no point in me trying to watch a movie after 8 pm. the corollary to this is, it's just better to have it on dvd.
I learned that drinking a lot of white russians can make you end up with your head in the toilet. Actually had to go trough the experience a few times before I could believe it.

Nothing like a quality education. ;D Best thing I ever learned about the consumption of alcohol is that if you drink 16 oat sodas in a small span of time and try to walk there is a fucking good chance you might spill a few drops out of the 17th oat soda. It's a law of nature. ;D
I love it when science meets religion, man! ;D
Ow, also: toes are overrated.
Toes?! You want a toe? I can get you a toe...with nail polish.
Hey, as long as they aren't gonna kill the poor woman, I'm down with that toe.
I learned that there are other Branded fans out there <sniffle>. Theme song still gives me a lift: "What do you do if you're branded,
AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE A DUDE!"

I learned that dark beer, a decent whore and a Creedence tape are just as good as wine, women and song any day of the week.
.........what I don't know is what day this is.
eh.. Dude... Today is allready the third... Just slip the rent under the door. ;)
You have to take things one day at a time, treat your friends well, bowl to let off some steam, and keep in touch with a woman who has her friend punch you then takes your new rug, good things might happen.

Keeping in touch with the female form, fucking eh.
I learned the secret to bowling is golf
I don't know whether I learned this per se from Big L, but once I make a decision and go forward, I do not regret, I do not think back. What's done is done. You gotta make choices and decisions. Decide, then go.

it's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the semis....am I wrong? ;D
Saturday I re-learned that being dude like involves doing absolutely fucking nothing, and doing it well.

I have to agree. Regret nothing, no matter how badly it turned out, all my past actions add up to the person I am now, and inform my next
mistake decision to move forward.
Some days you're up.some days you're down.Why worry, it don't mean nothing.
You have to count your blessings. I kinda regret choosing the former Mrs Zen Dog over the Navy,leaving before I'd had a chance to go anywhere but if I hadn't left when I did,I wouldn't be driving trains.By now,I'd have been obliged to have taken propper employment and, Heaven forbid, actually have to work for a living.Please excuse the language.By the way,I was throwing rocks last night. 3 strikes in a row.Count your blessings and take it easy.
I learned that I am OK the way I am, and nothing is wrong with me because of the way I am.
I never had the appetite for competition, acquisition of wealth or the need to do much. Just exist and enjoy what I do have. So many people in this world would tell me that's wrong!! Money and wealth is all that matters.
But this movie (and Jeff Bridges himself by the way)
inspired me to not worry about such things and just accept who I am. TAKE IT EASY!!
Thank you The Big Lebowski!!
I learned that there are other people besides me who can just say "fuck it".
The thing I learned most from this film was that no matter where life takes me - strikes and gutters, ups and downs - if I ultimately stay true to myself and not give a fuck about what anyone else thinks of me I will be happy no matter what and so I abide.
I learned that it's like, er, you know, it's like Lenin said....

Welcome to the forum dude! ;)
Smoke em if you got em! 8)
I learned I like White Russians.
I learned to take'r easy a bit more.
I learned that I keep learnin' somethin' new every time I watch that durned movie...
I learned that when I say "I'll be there man"..... I WILL be there.
That even when I am being threatened by Nihilists, Big Shot Pornographer thugs, and my car is worn to hell and back....
I will be at practice. :-D
Too many strands, man... like trying to find reverse on a Soviet tank...
LOL!!!!
