The Wonders of the Lebowski
« on: March 24, 2005, 12:53:44 AM »

I figured I would take it upon myself to introduce The Big Lebowski to those of you who do not know him.
He is the Dude, Duder, El Duderino (for those of you not into the brevity thing).
He is my hero.
I figure most of you know The Dude. But if not, now you do.

Yeah for real.  My hero is Superman.

He's a movie character AND a TV character AND a comic book character.

Get a better hero, man.

I could be your hero.

I'm a (home) movie character AND a TV (watching) character AND a comic book character in the making.  Plus, I'm real flesh and blood.

Then Needles, then Superman, then Ivan, then Maynard, then Rusty Wallace.


Shewt, I forgot Karion.  She's up there somewhere between Rusty and Needles.

I find that being your own hero can be pretty fufilling.

Let me rephrase that. I don't need a hero. And Xolik, hand's off needles. I'm the one who gets to lick his saucy balls.

Not so much the movie character but the ideals that said character embodies.

No one can be Superman. Even hoping to be Superman is a stretch of the imagination. Very egotistical thing it is to try to be better than everyone in the world.
So I stick with something that I can achieve. The Dude is very grounded, very relaxed, doesn't let things get under his skin. For that he is my hero.
All I can hope to do in my life is to get by on what is dealt to me. No need to try to change it, that would just be an exercise in futility. The Dude abides, and so shall the Anfo.

I appreciate the Sasparilla, glad you understand what I'm layin down here.

Although, I probably should get a different hero. A pot smoking, drunken old hippie man isn't the best influence in the world. But I like it.
