Gerryg and I kept crossing paths in Negril.
At one point I told him that the way he portrayed himself in his trip report reminded me of the "Dude" in "The Big Lebowski".
Gerry surprised me by saying he'd never seen the movie.
It's an L.A. movie and Gerry is very much an L.A. guy.
I got to wondering if others on the board are familiar with this film?
Can you see the way the film pertains to time spent in Negril (beyond the obvious one)?
El Duderino is my hero
" Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man"
"Mind if i do a J?"
just a couple that might relate, man
El Duderino if you're not in to the whole brevity thing.
My hero too and one of the reasons I'll always (at least so far) back up Gerryg.
Am I familiar with this film?
very....
All of my (guy) friends in college had this DVD running on repeat on their TV 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I must have seen it at least 20 times.
Markus LOVES this movie.
I'm sure once he sees this thread, he will be unable to resisit sharing his own thoughts on this beloved film.
And yeah, I can see Gerryg123 as "The Dude" ;)
Gerry - Seriously? You've never seen "The Big Lebowski"?? :eek:
"This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, a lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber."
I can relate
When I saw the title of this thread the fist thing I did was tell my co-worker who has big poster of "The Dude" in his cubicle. I was forced to watch it when I was promoted into this department. John Goodman's character frustrates me so much that I don't enjoy watching the movie. I just want to reach into the TV, grab him by the neck and yell "wtf are you thinking!"....lol

Hey phoreskin,
What is an L.A. Guy? Please entertain me as I'm from L.A. as well and can tell you Gerry and I are nothing alike. Lol
Gerry (I believe) is in the entertainment industry.
That seems like an outsider's view of what an LA kind of guy might be.
LA's a big town I'm sure there is room for divergences.
You know more than one kind of LA Guy.
"The Dude was just trying to get his rug back."
"Well that's just like your opinion man."
It just tied the whole room together, man.
You make one hell of a Caucasian, Jackie. Already my favorite drink, this movie sealed it for all time. And of course...
How you gonna keep them down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus? :o
The dude abides...
GerryG is certainly an "LA Guy" in the respect that the man parties, hard...
I even had a hard time keeping up. You shoulda seen the look on the the waiter's face when Gerry yelled from my balcony at Sunset on the Cliffs..."we need six beers mon!!!!!..."
It was 7...............................AM. I was mortified. GerryG was...Gerry f-n G. LOL
One of those stories that didn't make the cut for the TRip REport LOL
The dude takes naps, so he is not a true LA guy.... LOLQuote:

Did you ride b!tch on his scooter?
It was 7:30 .....
Seen the movie multiple times.
I'm not feeling GG123 as the Dude. GerryG wants to go to law school to make $200k/year. The thought of doing that would cause the dude to go into a catatonic state.
Although, the scooter tale got a little close to dude-ness...

Shut Up Donnie!
". . . you're like a child who wanders into the the middle of a movie."
I never once rode ***** on Gerry's scooter. I flat-out refused.
Don't call me Jody. LOL
I think we were at Seastar when Gerry offered to give Mrs. Peel and I a scooter ride home in two trips.
It was one of those kindly made Jamaican promises that usually dissipate from benign neglect.
Fortunately we didn't address the offer and before we knew it Gerry had vanished in the night
"Is this your homework, Larry?"
I'm going to a Lebowski style birthday party at the bowling alley tonight! :) Thinking about breaking out the lycra body suit!! :P
"Don't f**k with the Jesus!!"
Look Larry,,,Have you ever heard of Viet Nam ?
"This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the alps."
Dialogue from the Big Lebowski sanitized for TV veiwing.
Rum - could you imagine a broadcast TV version of Lebowski saying crap like that? A travesty, but the potential in sanitizing some of those lines could be hilarious :)
"I think it's a Pomeranian."
"Well, like, that's just your opinion man."
