League bowling and Kingpin and ignorance


You know what's really sad, is when I bowl in my league only one other person (my brother) gets all the Kingpin references I make. How can a person bowl regularly and not have seen Kingpin? This is similar to a few friends who actually went to police academy and hadn't actually seen Police Academy, if you can believe that.

That is really sad, I only took up bowling so I could quote Big Ern!!

Same thing goes for The Big Lewboski, that's worse though. At least people have heard of Kingpin. Half the people i know have never heard of The Big Lewboski

Same goes for most of the people I know. I'd put that in my top 3 Coen Brothers movies, possibly number 1. If I ever quote it, I just seem to get blank looks!!

last time i went bowling, which was YEARS ago, i didnt even bother cuz only my brother would get them and he wasnt there *sigh*.

I have met some league bowlers who were very serious. I hope they are still capable of laughing at this hilarious movie.

Dude, if most of the people you know haven't heard of The Big Lebowski, then both them and yourself are some sad alien life-forms.
