Gutterballs

Hot air balloon stories, Brad walks in gamelands, video artists with fire and water, a parade of buffoonery, an unfortunate slur, denim-laced thugs, the humanity of human humor that may or may not be as human as it could be, a Cremora fallacy, some amazing re-framing and dollying, an interestingly timed screech, and a slappy jelly sound.

Brad is waiting on tenterhooks, CD players and timeframes, a dig/like flub retraction, we are joined by a Typist who offers some clarification on hurricane situations, a question of The Stranger's possibly deism, the return of the orange man, the vagaries of bowling alley ambience in the form of worn out air handling units, echoey Dude voice, a Maudie/Marty coincidence, and a member of the venerable phone family provides some insight.

Sometimes adrenaline's not all it's cracked up to be during a Category 2 hurricane, a brief history of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 4: Epsiode 11, possibly related Lebowski time loops, The Dude continues to eat the nasty peanuts, a wayward napkin, design elements of Nava-faux sweaters, a possibly misplaced CO2 release, The Stranger is a little inappropriate, what's in a moustache suck, a dainty three-part foley suckhale, a less dainty slurp, and Kim Kardashian.

The dink and the bongk of Blue Velvet history, the horrifying truth of a beige toilet, rule of thirds spanning three framings at the bar, the filmic nuances of the golden spiral, some visual forensics of Marlboro Reds vs filterless cigarettes, Dick Tremayne is not in Blue Velvet, Jug, Phyllis Deblor's trademark accessories, The Dude's nut-pasted mouth, the pure envelope that The Stranger inhabits, counting the bowling sounds, the Granddaddy of Root Beers, an accidental ash, an anger-drenched "lane," and things the disappearing pinsetter repairman may or may not exclaim.

Adam and Brad reach the halfway point and discover the truth about space pens and pencils, get some astronomical facts somewhat wrong, probably, wax awestruck about Michael Collins, dip a cucumber into birdseed, see a bat fight a cicada, debate the grossness of nuts, unravel the dude's anger at Walter and Walter's sympathizing, ponder a curiously still man, discuss Andre Johnsonless, discuss bowling alley lighting reality vs. fiction, and reimagine the cell phone brain vagina maggot birth.

Brad's two inch pigeon meets Adam's super bicycle force field rod, velocity related mis-estimation, The Dude's crests and troughs of highness, the LAPD's change in nomenclature from policeman and policewoman to police officer, Donnie's slice confirmation, a very splashy time, the story dynamics of a camera move, paper pouches, and Ramos -- the man who played two Ferengi!

Once they get through the Styx talk, Brad and Adam decide not to sit down on the plexiglass toilet, some authentic carbon stains, obtuse bowling humor manifested on towels, curiously polite Nihilists, Brad doesn't hear the incongruous buried Dude fuck, setting up the "Leads?!" joke, aggressive cop key sounds, the hopelessness of the helicopter, some possible uncertainty surrounding the term "abutment," we do not discuss the World's Shittiest Radiolab, and "wiggly."

Clearing up the "abutment" issue

In-toe gait, on the cusp of the junk, the possible origin of the cricket bat, Rock of Ages is "a little serious," The Dude's junk double, Flea-esque marmoting, Fleaction, lack of caulk residue, git-git-git-git-git-ing, toe ballet defense of farmots while panicked stammering ensues, lots of light fixture talk, farmot goat sounds, and the demise of the errant joint.

How to block a number on an iphone

Unraveling the connections between W, HW, the Titular Lebowski and The Dude, an errant joint falls to the counter, Jans who aren't Jans, the Newman invoker, the number of showers it takes to feel better after being covered in feces, the horrible continuity of the close-up of the tape player table in The Dude's bathroom, the beautiful composition of the three hand-on-mouth ladies, the inconsistent timing of the The Dude's beep, and our continuing T-Shirt contest.

Walter's Small Walter butt parasite forehead, cavaluelessness, how unravelling gauze relates to The Dude's understanding, Balrogs and Morgoth, a bike in a tree, the politics of Atlas Shrugged, why a brick is more impactful than a building, a lonely menu, a Brother Seamus driveby, the physical benefits of PT Cruisers, tinkly and stirring, Boogie Nights ripoffs and Philip Baker Hall overacts, and a giant nut on Adam's finger.
