I had these really basic prompts ready and then a gif posted in the Dungeon Master thread that got me thinking: could I do Big Lebowski themed challenge? Apparently, yes. Thanks for the inspiration @Turbo !

A bad time to have lent this LP to a friend but I'm playing the CD and posting it anyway. It's too perfect...

Damn, knew I’d have to play early to not get scooped for this one. Not early enough it seems!

I’ve never really listened to the lyrics, but based on the title alone, this is about someone who is having a really good bowling game I think

Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
IMG_4215.jpegI love bowling and better still is “Cosmic Bowling” where the lane turns on a bunch of cool black lights and the whole place starts glowing and if we’re gonna be cosmic bowling then we’re gonna need some Alien Lanes.

Kyle Troup looks like the type of guy who would both fit right into a bowling league in the Big Lebowski and also to get a party started.

One of his nicknames on the professional bowling tour is "Afro Fish", he celebrates big plays with a single or double afro pick. So this one is for the Afro Fish.
