Has anyone ever noticed how time is speeding up and the world is getting smaller?  Zing, zang and here’s a new iPhone, a new app, a new advancement in medicine, faster cars.  We’re proud to say that men’s jelly shoes are still jelly shoes and that’ll never change.

Sure, there are advancements in adult entertainment.  100% electronic.  But The Dude still likes to recreate manually.  All The Dude ever wanted was his rug back.  It’s the simple things in life that a majority of people are missing out on.  The world is moving at an ever increasingly furious pace.  Attention spans and patience shrink daily.  Instant, now, gimme, gimme, gimme!  Has it ever occurred to you, man, sir, that uh…things really are just as simple as The Dude unknowingly prescribes to us throughout The Big Lebowski film?

Also, Dude, let’s not forget, let’s not forget the tenants of national socialism…eh, scrap that.  Let’s actually discuss who The Dude is in real life.  Jeff Bridges, man.  He’s the man for his time and place.  This article we came across actually has a ton of “Did You Know” type facts about the man, the myth, the Zen Master legend.  Lotta ins, lotta outs about ‘ol Duder.  That article is a great read for anyone wanting to get to know Mr. Bridges on a personal level.  Things like, his family, his music, photography, of course his film career and let’s not forget, his service in the US Coast Guard.

The Dude wears jelly shoes, jelly sandals, what-have-you.  They’re some of the simplest footwear available in the parlance of our times.  That and bowling shoes.  These jellies represent so much more than a fashion statement.  They’re a way of life.  They’re to show all us sinners out there that when everything boils down, in the end, we’re just ashes in the wind…and Dude’s beard.  Don’t take things too seriously.  Don’t treat others like piss.  Not on the rug, man.

So whether you’re a licensed Dudeist Priest or a cosplayer, Aaron Rodgers or simply an everyday fan of The Big Lebowski, we just want to make sure you heed the Dude’s words and remember to just, take it easy, man…wearing your jellies, of course.
