I never realized the Dude has a picture of Nixon bowling hanging up on his wall

For a moment I thought it was Pete Weber of "Who do you think you are, I am! fame.

New shit has come to light.

That's a relatively (in)famous photo. Nixon liked bowling, and had a single-lane bowling alley added to the White House basement. As far as I can tell it's still there.

It wasn't Nixon. It was truman. There are two lanes. It's still there. I got to bowl there a couple weeks ago.

That picture is of Nixon bowling in the white house and it's also hanging on the wall of the alley.

I don't see the Dude buying that print.
However, I do see Walter giving it to the Dude as a gift.

It's to show the dude really doesn't care about society.

He would disagree with everything Nixon does, but still like him cuz he's a bowler.

That's the level of chill the Dude achieved.

EPA and OSHA are hella dudely. Cottage cheese and pineapple as a comfort food is harmonious and peaceful too.

The dude would drive down to San Clemente to bowl with Nixon.
