The Big Lebowski Set...last one for a while, I promise

I have a fever...and the only prescription, is more PAINT!

2009 Topps Heritage Black Mayo #15 Tony the Limo Driver

Ironic as life is, the guy who played Tony the Limo Driver (Dom Irrera) was charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and later convicted, back in September of last year. The fine law enforcement officers that brought him in? You guessed it...the North Hollywood PD.

So I guess that's two counts of irony...pardon my pun...

The Big Lebowski Set (my 3rd submission, man)

These days at work I find myself with a bit more time to waste, and an even bigger bit of time to waste on, as I explain to my coworkers, "Making fake Big Lebowski baseball cards from real baseball cards". "But 'Lebowski' was a movie, what does that have to do with baseball?"

Exactly. Here's round three of my cards.


1988 Topps #01 "Turn Back the Clock" Fawn Knudson

I think I have 20 of the Jim Rice cards like this, but the colors for the Nolan Ryan card were better to use. Here we see Fawn - aka Bunny Lebowski, aka Bunny Lajoya - as a cheerleader in her hometown of Moorehead, MN. Her parents have hired a private investigator to help track her down. She owes money all of over town, apparently...


1990 Topps #02 Malibu Police Chief

The police chief in the quiet beach community of Malibu, CA doesn't want The Dude suckin around or bothering the local citizens. Nor does he want his jerk-off face or behavior around his parts. Jerk off.


2008 Upper Deck Timelines #01 Autobahn Movie-used LP relic

Not only is this relic card of the actual LP from the movie, but it has a little bit of of the label sticker on it too, making it exremely rare. Translated from German to English, the album title means "Nail Bed", or more closely from the Swedish, "Nail Bite". Uli Kunkel's mucical career never really took off.

Bar's over there!

Turns out, if you want a Caucasian, you have to fix it yourself.

That goes for blog posts, too. If you want to share your thoughts on baseball and the world, you have to sit down, research a post (or form some sort of stream-of-consciousness in your mind) and actually write away.

A certain "The Big Lebowski Card Fest" has gotten the best of my attention recently, along with a combination of college basketball, dinner parties with other couples "of like interest", and the return of Nascar after a week off. You can actually see the fruits of my only recent labors here, my most recent submissions for the Big Lebowski card set.

I promise, tomorrow I shall take some time and get back to postin' again. I have received gracious trades (literally, bricks of cards) from Johnny, Nightowlcards, and the one and only Motherscratcher (he's a good man, and thorough). I will be playing catchup for a while, but will get around to thanking everyone in a proper way by getting up some trade appreciation posts soon. For now, I'll leave you with a former member of the Brew Crew, a one Ray Searage. Perhaps he has a permit to carry a marmot on his face, perhaps not. At any rate, nice marmot.

The Big Lebowski Set (my second submission)


"Dude, I finally got the venue I wanted, I uh, I'm performing my dance quintet - you know, my cycle? - at Crane Jackson's Fountain Street Theater on Thursday night, and uh...I'd love it if you came and gave me notes."

"I'll be there, man."

"Uh, Dude, Uh - tomorrow's already the 10th."

"Far out."

"..."

"Oh, oh, alright. Okay."

"Just, uh, slip the rent under my door."


Wow. This is getting addictive, folks.
