    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.

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

    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.

    The dude would drive down to San Clemente to bowl with Nixon.
