Annecdotes

This afternoon I decided to watch The Big Lebowski again, and a few things struck me:

1. The only two times I have heard the word miturated stated by someone other than myself are during the Big Lebowski and Garth Marenghi’s dark place.
2. I was wearing a pair of trousers similar to the Dude’s during the first bowling scene where Walter pulls the gun on Smokey.
3. I need to use the word Bum more.
