Little Lebowski Urban Achiever's Club.

Sign in to disble this ad
It's been 10 years since The Big Lebowski came out. It totally bombed at the box office, even though it's quite possible the best comedy that's come out in a decade.

We need a Little Lebowski Urban Achiever's Club. I'm not going to hand out numbers - that's all you bums want: a handout. Well, I didn't ask for a handout when I lost the use of my legs. No! I went out and achieved anyway! That's what makes a man. Obstacles overcome, competitors bested... and all without the use of my legs. So get out of here, and achieve your own club number, you bums! Your revolution is over, TBers! You've lost! You bums!

I have achieved the Little Lebowski Urban Achiever #1 spot.

Also, here's a great clip of how to not edit The Big Lebowski for TV:

[NOTE: This is a Big Lebowski appreciation thread in disguise. So go ahead, appreciate!]

I belive that the Dude, actor Jeff Bridges, is a bassist. I've seen some pics of him with a Taylor ABG. Maybe one day he'll join TB.
Also, Flea plays one of the Nihilists. No wonder so many of us bassist like this movie.
