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

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.

How the shit did you get to bowl there?

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

New shit has come to light.

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.
