Still they come in. This one is positively creepy. Note that the movie was

made in 1998.

“Derb—In the beginning of the movie, the Dude is buying some half&half at

Ralph’s grocery Store. George Bush is on TV saying ‘Saddams aggression will

not stand.’ The Dude writes a check for like $1.68. The date on the check

is 9/11/1991 — i.e. the 10-year pre-aniversary of 9/11.”

All right, I’m convinced The Big Lebowski was divinely inspired.

(Not really. You can read anything into anything. I passed a comment on

the movie Cool Hand Luke once & got a very long email from a person proving

that CHL was actually an allegory on the Gospels. I forget the details, but

it was pretty convincing.

“Oh, I don’t care if it rains or freezes

Long as I got my plastic Jesus

Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car….”)
