Walter Sobchak.
Walkter-frickin-Sobchak internet-spoke to me about article in the Idaho Statesmen.
Can you believe it? I was
certainly shocked so it’s okay if you find yourself a bit too stunned breathe
right now.
For those
of you, and let me assure you that you are a minority, who don’t know who
Walter Sobchak is, I will provide a brief explanation. He’s the very honorable Vietnam Vet depicted
in the wildly successful bowling/kidnap/ransom documentary The Big
Lebowski. I highly recommend it. Especially now that Walter and I are
buds.
Anyway, below is the transcript. It originally appeared in the venerable comments page of the
Idaho Statesman’s website at the end of June.
Unfortunately, I waited too long to post this and the comments for that
period of time are no longer available as far as I can tell. Luckily, I enshrined them in a word file on
my computer so I can still share them with all of you. If you are ever slumming it in the comments
section of the Idaho Statesman website and you run across good old Walter, ruffle
him up a bit for me. He likes it.
Walter Sobchak , You are entering a world of pain. (this was his cute little tag line)
Tommy, if you have to nominate yourself for an award then your greatness is all in your head.
TomLandaluce
I agree. True greatness always resides within the recesses of one's own mind.
Walter Sobchak , You are entering a world of pain.
Keep telling yourself that Tommy Boy.

Thank you, I intend to. If you'd like to experience my brilliance, you can make a purchase at https://www.createspace.com/39... or https://www.createspace.com/41...
If you prefer to read your books for free I completely support that and advise you to follow this link instead http://deathofcorporateman.blo...
And to thank you for all of your support and kind words I intend to watch The Big Lebowski tonight and cheer you on as you bowl.
Walter Sobchak , You are entering a world of pain.
I honestly tried to experience your brilliance, but I got caught up by some cat videos on the internets. Although John Q. Public seems like an interesting charachter.......NOT!
TomLandaluce
Thanks again, Walter. John Q Public is indeed an interesting character. Though I think you'd appreciate him even more if you started at the beginning of the story. The chapter posts on the blog have the latest at the top meaning that the final chapter is presented first. I thought that the "Chapter 227" might be an indicator of this, but I can see how it might be confusing. What you'll want to do is click on Section 1, just beneath the name plate of the blog, and begin there. Just in case you're still baffled by the numerical sequence, follow this link http://deathofcorporateman.blo... and start reading. I am confident that you will enjoy the Corporate Man experience. And if I come across any really cute cat videos today, I'll send them your way.
There were a couple more comments after this, but it must
have slipped my mind and I forgot to go back and save them. I think I can recap though. Something about 'Nam, something about Donny
that wasn't altogether very nice, and whole lot of fawning and slavering over
my genius. Oh, and bowling. I complimented him on his bowling and he
really seemed to appreciate that.
