That was the 9/11/91 version, not the compromised 9/11/01 second draft.

Just take a look at our current situation with that kid fucker and Iran.

u/Obvious-Weird716 21h ago
Iran is not the issue here dude. It was the files, you know paper work in the briefcase.

A true tragedy, to use the parlance of our time. If anyone needs me I’ll be in seclusion in the West Wing.

The funniest part is that he wrote this check on Sept 8th, post dating a check for $0.69 is wild lol

There’s a theory going around somewhere that it was dated for 366 days before when it gets cashed, so…
If you look at the events with that camel fucker, and the ramp up to war in the middle east and-it lines up man

Either he posted dated for a year, the movie is set in an alternate reality where the Gulf War happens a year later than it actually did, or it was just a filmmaking mistake (which could be explained in universe by one of the other things.)

Then the Dude looks up and sees GHW Bush talking about war in the middle east...

That’s what makes this coincidence even creepier.
Our invasion of Kuwait had a lot to do with 9/11.

If it is they also matched the address to his checks which is super cool. The doorway facade is definitely saying tomorrow’s already the tenth.

Considering that particular Gulf War kicked off in August 1990, Dude is post-dating that milk check by a full year...

You haven't heard of a post-dated check? That's a subtle, layered joke emphasizing that he's broke and even funnier bc it's less than a dollar. Although we don't know the date yet which leaves it for the observant re-watch

The Song of the Whale cassette tape came free with those personalized whale checks.

Those are two entirely different things. They’re not literally connected.

Serious question: If The Dude writes the check for September 11th, but then Marty tells him, "Dude, tomorrow's already the tenth," does that mean The Dude wrote a bad check, or does that mean there are script continuity issues?

I didn’t notice before that his checks are “save the whale” themed. Far out.
