Okay, we can respect that. However, there is one difference between the Dude and the Dowd that is truly disheartening: he doesn't bowl often! The real Dude... doesn't bowl? It's true. The Dowd claims to have only bowled around a dozen times in all of his 69 years on this Earth. Less than 20 times? That's how many times the Dude bowls in a month!Heicher, Kathy (June 4, 2013).
