The Dude Abides

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.



After watching The Big Lebowski last night, I have to admit that I am a huge fan of the Coen brothers especially Fargo, The Big Lebowski and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

I guess I like the surreal, the psychedelic, the edgy aspects of the Coens' work. Maybe that's why I keep dropping in at the EB, it can be a surreal experience worthy of a Joel and Ethan Coen movie. It's powerful stuff, best viewed through a window-pane and in small doses.

    Hey!!!

    What happened??

    Deuce, where did that video that you just posted go?

    In any event, it was one of the most extraordinary things that I have ever seen.

    What a find!

    Absolutely brilliant!!!

    On more than one level :-)))

    I serve up an offering on The Big Lebowski and you clamor for the two-faced chink?

    Dude! ;)

    But, but, sputter, sputter.

    Dude!!! With all due respect to your Big Lebowski (and I take it on faith that you have one)...

    Oh! I get it. Don't worry, I am so over her.

    :-)))

    Sorry, Whit.

    But "two faced chink" was your term.

    I made a cheap joke with it and I regret it.

    However, the underlying sentiment I do not withdraw.

    Trish made a comment about the subject earlier on another thread with which I completely agree.

    The "chink" is the man with many faces on the video from the next post.

    Hey Deuce, you're a Safari man. Can you see any text below the you tube video and above the "The Dude Abides."

    I see it with Firefox but with Safari, I see only the YouTube and "The Dude..."

    Whit

    I fully realize the "chink" comment was from the next vid. But within this thread you introduced the term. I never mentioned term at all.

    You took offence, I presume, at my implied reference to what's-her-name, being a "two-faced chink."

    If I am wrong about this please enlighten me. If I miscontrued your comment about "the direction this is going" then please enlighten me on this, also.

    Luke.6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
