Crazy Detail From The Big Lebowski

This is so crazy. Never noticed this until today.

Or, it's possible that The Dude had no idea what the date actually was. In another scene, he didn't know what day it was. The Dude is not bound by society's time constructs. The Dude abides.

[jimcameron]

Yeah well that's just your opinion man.

Also, later in the movie when his landlord comes to collect the rent, he says "Dude, tomorrow's already the 10th.."

The Ralph's card as his only ID is the best

[romannabong]

I'm beginning to think that the terrorists collected all these signs and made an elaborate plan based on all the strange details in "the American movies".

[lepopcornnaisseur]

Don't forget Saddam Hussein appearing in one of the Dude's dreams.

That’s when his inheritance check arrives. He’s an heir to the inventor of the Rubiks Cube.
It’s not cheap to live in Venice California. The Dude has money man, he just over spent a little.
You can see he’s written a lot of checks.

[kasieprice]

Wow this is my favorite movie and it came out the year I was born in 1998. I also just noticed on the check he writes September 11th. I was born 9/11/1998.

One of the first things I did as an adult when I went back to California...not kidding...found a Ralph's, smelled and bought some half and half, left, walked back in days later before I went to Texas, and bought a can of coffee. I set out to do it in honor of the dude.

[josephrodriguez]

This is the reason why the Dude is a legend.

I served with a guy named Jeffrey Libowski in the 80s. About the time that Bush 41 was VP. Nothing happened in Sept, but we were part Operation Nimble Archer that was overshadowed by the stock market crash of 87. I can't remember exactly when we were deployed to the Persian Gulf but it was probably around 9/11/87.

[jessicabali]

You're entering a world of pain. A World Of Pain!

[AgeismGoesBothWays]

September 11 is historically an important date for different conflicts between Muslims and Christians.
The Battle of Zenta (1697), The Great Siege of Malta (1565) and The Muslim Expulsion from Spain (1609) all happened September 11.

[Methodius]

Interesting, never noticed that before.

Also, if I remember correctly September 11th 1991 was when Bush Sr. gave that New World Order speech in Congress.

[tetedepoulet]

Looks like we can close the file on this one

[mindofsound]

Dude is NOT broke! He's a trust fund baby or something. Owns all his shit but has no discernable job. Wears casual but *expensive* clothes, i.e., his signature Westerley sweater. Lives in the expensive part of town. Drinks White Russians, smokes weed, and plays with his friends every day. If his rent is late it's just because he's disorganized and loses track of the days.

[TheSchokoxx]

I love how the vid starts off like a crazy conspiracy theory but ends with a gentle film analysis. The dude abides.

[nunuonroad]

I’m sure the dude didn’t even know what day it was

[xlrusa]

I believe many people in the US can relate to The Dude, he is an American Hero, up there with John Wayne. We are a ship of fools. Our National Debt at 34 Trillion and climbing exponentially. This is the way.

[bluetrane]

This is also why he says "this agression will not stand". He heard Bush say it first
