Giveaway Day Ten, Part One: Big Lebowski Duddha Rug
TSJ has always believed in the power of giveaways–and in our kickass readers the past few months. As our way of giving back for the holidays, we’re rolling out our biggest giveaways yet with our 12 Days of Giveaways free shit blowout. Every weekday for the next few weeks, we’ll be giving away everything from DVDs and books to gadgets and furniture for you to stuff your own stocking. Keep your eye out for the daily post to see how you can win hundreds of dollars worth of freebies.
Our 12 Days of Giveaways blowout is winding down, but that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down. In fact, we’re just warming up. The next 3 days of posts will have prizes so fantastic we momentarily considered shutting this blog down and taking them all for ourselves. But where’s the Christmas spirit in that?
Today we’re offering up a serious piece of awesome: the Big Lebowski Duddha Rug by Bill Green.
The Big Lebowski is the movie that made a million white russians. Acid trips, bowling and German nihilists usually wouldn’t make for a cinematic classic, but the signature dialogue and endlessly quotable lines from the Dude, Walter and Donny still feel fresh, 12 years after its premier. There are cult movies, and then there are cult movies that spawn their own religions. The Big Lebowski stands in a class all its own, and it all started with one guy taking a whizz on a rug.
That rug really tied the Dude’s room together. Need something to tie your own place together? Give this giveaway a shot and you could find yourself the proud owner of a brand-new Duddha rug from Bill Green Studios. Bill Green is an awesome illustrator and graphic designer whose work includes designing official posters for Lebowski Fest, the official gathering of Achievers everywhere, as well as a slew of other great design work. Check out his work here. He’s to credit for the design on the Duddha rug, which features hallmarks from the movie in a clever, trippy pattern arranged around an illustration of the Dude at peace.
This rug is 3′ by 5′ of Dude-approved awesomeness. Want a chance to get your hands on one? Here’s how:

I just went to Hawaii to run the marathon. All sorts of issues came up on my way there. I missed my original flight, which was going to have a layover in San Francisco. Whatever, no big deal. The airline put me on another flight that was direct that had been delayed. The universe works in mysterious ways. When I got there, my luggage hadn’t made it and to top it off, my ride got in a car accident. Whatever…had a mai tai and a puka dog and it was all good.

Ok so I had just graduated high school and decided to move out with some friends. We had a giant rug in our rec room. It was bad ass! Well we threw a party one night and it got totally ruined by some drunk assholes and we had to toss it. We were all pretty bummed about it. At the time i had never seen the big lebowski. 2 weeks later my girlfriend and I were watching it and as soon as we heard him say the rug tied the room together we started laughing soooo hard and from then on we always said that about our rug!

When I was in college, I had a roommate who did not understand dudeism. (I think he may have been a closet nihilist) He would bring over the lamest people to hang out. Mostly headbangers who listened to thrash metal and tore the place up. I, like the dude, had a sweet rug by the front door that really tied the room together. It got trashed one night by the posers. I was too heartbroken to go rug shopping for a new rug. This rug giveaway could get me a rug to tie my new place together!

I broke up with my last girlfriend because she listened to the Eagles. While she stood there hysterically crying and trying to figiure out what had just happened , I ask her if she minded if I “did a J”.

A week back i was mugged walking back to my house. i had already been having a crappy day so i told the mugger “here just take it man, leave me alone.” he walked off and i went home, made myself a drink (not a white russian though) and smoked a J. i feel as thought the dude would have approved my course of action as a pacifist.

True story, short and simple…
Potty training my little Achiever,
For success I give her a hug.
But she must have some “Chinaman” in her,
‘Cause she just went and peed on my rug!!

When those miserable fucks down at the House past legislation to extend tax cuts for the rich I said to myself, “fuck it man, life goes on”. My concern is, and I might have to check with my accountant, but this might mean the middle class is getting screwed.
