Rance wuz here...
Wednesday, 30 March 2005
So,
I've been living the lifestyle of a do nothing for approximately two days now. I must say, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I woke up this a.m. around 9:00, promptly rolled over and went back to sleep.

At around 10:00 I woke up and decided to take a steam bath, enjoying it for every bit of 30 minutes. I toweled off and felt the need to lay down again from the exertion. I grabbed the remote, slowly flipping, looking for the channel that would require the minimalest of mental participation on my part. I settled on FOX news.

I noticed where a new season of The Surreal Life begins soon. Sort of a pseudo problem there. It airs on VH1, my cable doesn't carry VH1. What's a do nothing to do about that? Any suggestions? Please keep in mind that there are rules.

Sincerely,

The Dude

You could always ask one of your do nothing friends to tape it and bring it on the bowling night each week.
Then not only are you doing nothing, but your bumming too.

i don't know about the alleys in dudeville, but sometimes they have satellite/cable tv in the bar. if you're lucky, they'll have the channel listing you need, and seeing as how they already have bowling and drinks, you might just hit the trifecta.

Dear Dude
HELP! I just returned from watching Robots with my kids. It was a typical kid flick complete with bad guys, good guys, injustice, follow your dreams, good guy prevails,
GARBAGE!
I screamed outloud...."Why do we lie to our children???! They will fail miserably, horrid people succeed, evil prevails and I hate the world!!!! "
Ok, maybe I didn't scream it outloud, but it felt like it in my head. I hated to look over at my children's sweet innocent faces full of hope and joy.
Why? Why is the world so full of horror? Why are so many cold and selfish?
Where are the heros?
WHERE ARE THEY DUDE? WHERE ARE THEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Dude, you're a Dude-in-waiting, you just haven't realized it yet. I mean, how else could you come up with such ground breaking bowling analogies and creative ways of doing nothing while doing something?

Bowling, drinks, and free cable...it doesn't get more Dudish than that.

Sincerely,

The Dude

P.S. Your use of the word "trifecta" is bothersome, but I'm sure we can overcome it.

Lady, the heroes are out there, it's just that someone is standing on their cape. Lower your expectations and have a drink. Mellowness equals swellowness.

Dudeville, population 1 and growing. Do you care to join me? The view's tolerable from where I sit, mainly because it's blocked by the cloud of smoke that surrounds me.

Sincerely,

The Dude

Audition? Color me crazy, but that sounds like a j-o-b. Very undudelike.

the surreal life a j-o-b?

*ROTFLMAO(ah, that hurt~)

isn't the only prereq to being a cast member on the surreal life is just to have an addiction of some sort?
plus there seems to be no preference in the addiction you can have it could be exhibitionism, drugs, sex, alcohol, bowling... saran wrap~ the list is endless.

actually the more i think about it, you may actually be OVERQUALIFIED :) considering your "dude" status n'all~

dude,

i beg to differ on the trifecta thing; tracks have bars, too, and watchin' the ponies can be a nice afternoon. as such, the trifecta is a easy way to score some scratch for more of those white russians.

all due respect,

duuude... since i have no idea what the surreal life is, my only suggestion is to drink a few more, burn a couple, lie back and enjoy the surreal show. you can always change the channel in your mind if it turns out to be a dud.

p.s. i have a few gmail invites to give away. if y'all would like one, email me at feenxc@gmail.com.

Either Rubber Duckie pasted the reins onto Snubby, or Snubby is Duckie...or Duckie fell and hit her head and fell into a dream like daze full of naked girls jumping on trambolines..I only say this because I remember how fond of The Dude Snubby was...BUT WHO ISN'T FOND OF THE DUDE?

I'll make a short list of Who:

Saddam Hussein, yeah he's pissed that he didn't take the hint and get a job handing out shoes in a bowling alley. It would have been a lot better pay then sitting in a hole for months scratching his unwashed butt.

The IRS, they found out The Dude hasn't paid taxes since 1978 when he was living above his parent's garage. On his tax form he said he had spent the last year working as a secret underground official trying to bring down "The Man, Man." (He claimed that the government owed him 20,00 big ones for nachos and Mr. Pib.) He also caught the bottom of the page on fire when he dropped his roach clips, but he decided that it had been a lot of work filling out that form, and sent it anyway.

Maude, she'd mad at him because her son, now in his teens, isn't at all interested in developing his artistic side, he says he only cares about "sex, drugs, and CCR." Oh, and he got an F in gym class because they don't offer bowling. She has sent him away to a private school in Japan, he's now learning about nihilism and seems very interested.

Walter, he says The Dude owes him six bucks for bowling last week, and never repaid him for his lost dirty underwear.

Oh, and the rent is due.

Man, I am the Dude. Your comments brought to mind a possible glitch in my quest to maintain this current lifestyle I've assumed for the last two days. I LOVE the Eagles. Do you think that matters?

Sincerely,

The Dude

Holy Crap! You love the Eagles, quick man get yourself to a hospital before you start humming "Hotel California" while you mix drinks! This is serious, you should really have it looked at,...no I insist, no I insist....

In the meantime, here's something very funny to amuse everone, and their friends if they feel like prank calling as The Dude. Have a listen and laugh.
