The Dudeism Forum

So, I'm new here and I thought I would introduce myself with a (slightly) boring little story.

My wife and I used to live on the east coast, in a mid-sized city with a pretty substantial crime rate. One morning at work, I received a phone call from our alarm company notifying us that our home security system was triggered. My wife arrived home first and found three police officers in our driveway. Our house was broken into, our alarm system smashed and everything in the house was upended and thrown everywhere. The nihilist made off with a PlayStation and a cheap digital camera.

Here's the fun part: While cleaning up, guess what I discovered on the floor in our guest room? Yep, you guessed it - crumpled homework. Unfortunately, there wasn't a full name written on it and the cops were completely disinterested. I did learn that later that year, a teenager was caught breaking into an apartment down the road from us and engaged in a brief stand-off with police, but we never found out if he was the one who robbed us.

So, no confrontations or smashed cars, but it's still pretty, well, Lebowski-like.

Dude! That is interesting.

Over the line!

Wait, because I started a thread so soon? Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your...Ah, fuck it.

Actually I think Hominid meant your burglar was over the line.

Correct-a-mundo M5!

He probably wasn't much of a golfer either....

UN HOUSE BROKEN

My apologies, Hominid. I thought of the situation more like the bastard set fire to my car and came after me with a sword. Fuckin' nihilists, man.

Say what you will about the tenets of bowling and those that break them, Dude, at least it's a civilized and noble leisure activity.

The police detective assigned to our case was so useless that I eventually assumed that one of their local informants was responsible. We eventually called him with the news that some of our stuff turned up at a local pawn shop - he was shocked, then after a pause he asked me if we were going to report him to his superiors. I had given up at that point and told him no. Water under the bridge.

To quote RoboCop, that's life in the big city.

For a moment I thought you said "Walter under the bridge."  That would be a wholly different way of dealing with it.

Walter in Commando mode, with an Uzi? I LIKE IT!

Sounds like someone needs to cut the little shit's dick off, man.
