Johnny Lingo i should say.

Jeff is what brings me the essence of the dude.

[Fiyero]

Actually those are the initials of my first and middle name, and the same with my grandfather, so for years and years he would call and say "Hey there J.L., this is J.L. Have you been staying out of jail?"

[Jeff Lebowski]

Thanks, Coach. I won't forget.

[YOhio]

lol! Lebowski voted for himself. What a disgrace to his namesake.

Remember, the real dude didn't care that someone else had his name. He just wanted his rug back, it really tied the room together.

We are talking about identity confusion, dammit. The reason the nihilists broke in and stole the rug is because they got the names mixed up! Every time someone confuses me with Lingo it is like peeing on my rug or dunking my head in the toilet.

This aggression .... will not .... stand, man.

waters called lingo JoLi, that helps avoid confusion

[cowboy]

I hate being told what to do.

[Rosebud]

Just another CUF popularity contest.....

JL should definitely belong to Lingo. The spirit of Lebowski would never expect or want the formality of first name appended to last name. Jeff or Lebowski, but never Jeff Lebowski. Dude, his dudeness, and other variations of Dude are also acceptable.
