Smokey is Jimmy Dale Gilmore and his last record with David Alvin was top notch. Sadly, he did cross the line.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Mel Zelniker of the Southern Cal Bowling League. I just got an informal report that a member of your team, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true, of course, it contravenes a number of the league's bylaws and also article 27 of the league's constitution, not to mention local laws as well. The consequences, should you brandish a firearm, become questions to litigate. That of course is not my concern, the reputation of the name of Southern Cal League Bowling is. And incidentally, this is not the first complaint we've received about Mr. Sobchak. We're gonna keep an open mind on this incident until we've heard both sides, and you'll be given a chance to clear your case, but you know, you should prepare to do so. Because the Cavaliers have notified that they are petitioning the league for a formal hearing. So I just wanted to alert you that we plan to investigate this serious infraction, and examine your standing. Thank you.

PhantoWolf@reddit

You know... If you look at the clues

-First we have Donnie taunting Smokey's team, so you know he must be feeling confident about the prospect of destroying them.

-Second we have Smokey desperate to get his 8 marked down on paper which isn't an impressive score- Certainly not for a bowler in the semis.

-Third Dude is dismissive of Smokey. So what if his toe slipped- It's Smokey. I take this to mean 'What's it gonna matter? Guy is hopeless.'

-And lastly We have how eager Smokey was to tattle and report them to the league office in an effort to get the round set-aside. We know Smokey was more worried about bowling than Walter's piece or he'd have filed a police report. He saw this as a break for their team. haha

I grew up in bowling alleys and worked in them for huge chunks of my life. I've bowled perfect games and won tournaments and had sex in four separate bowling alleys (and no, this isn't a brag, merely record keeping)

In all that time I have cared about the foul rule exactly zero times

What the fuck kind of benefit is there to gaining an extra two inches to the pins when they are 60 feet away? Sorry Walter, you were losing your shit on Smokey for no reason, even if he was over

Walter is used to getting way with his anger and size. Often displays of aggression are just insecurities that manifest when he puts great importance in what he’s doing. He felt he could bully Smoky because of his as Walter sees as weakness in this diminutive nature. So when Smokey stands up for himself Walter doesn’t know what to do so he escalates the situation. Wait… this is r/lebowski my mistake wrong sub.
