I watched this movie, because I wanted to see what the hype was about. What was I missing, exactly?

Woody,

Does your brother-in-law have a room with an area carpet? One that really pulls the room together?

Excellent point. He will be missing a rug after the party.

Mind if I ask your height/weight? XLs are hard to come by, I might be able to get away with an L but it's not like I can go try one on somewhere.

6'1". 215. I'm not as lean as my avatar would have you believe.

Ah, so a bunch of one-liners that mean something only because a lot of other people have watched the movie 100 times as well.

Typical cult movie. Either you get it (like it) or you don't.

Then I guess I don't get it. Reminds me of when I read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I can't think of anything less interesting than someone describing a drug trip.

And I'm not trying to be all wet blanket in here. I was just genuinely curious about what I missed (or didn't identify with).

It's funny I get a very Lebowski vibe when I cruise around in the Colony Park, I dunno why, but now you're making me consider doing the wood paneling in a bowling lane theme with little lane arrows and dots in the wood.

Yeah...dammit, theme change again...Now I definitely have to find a sweater to wear while cruising. I already have my Dudeism stickers on the car.

I watched Easy Rider once. I stared at the screen like a dog looking at a doorknob.

Just like ZW said, it's a standard cult movie. Everyone quotes the one-liners and if you don't get it, you're not cool or something.

(Waiting on the "Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man" quote)

Dang you Woody, so I had to go surfing eBay looking at the sweaters. Found a perfect one, exact colors and all. Priced absurdly high of course ($475) but it had a "make offer" option so I was bored and lowballed the hell out of it (well below 50%) and well...I guess someone needed Chrismas money.

Make sure there's a Creedence cassette in the tape deck.

Went with the Large, its a motivation thing. I started 2012 at 235 lbs. As of this morning I was 195 lbs. I have a few "motivational" clothing items, things I really like but bought in the size I want to be rather than the size I am to motivate me to get there.
