Can anything really tie the room together?

[triviadude]

In Dudeism, what is the meaning of the rug?  Can any one thing, ever really tie the room/universe together?   And if it can, is it inevitable that this rug will be miterated upon, thus fracturing the fragile unity? 

If your room loses it's tied togetherness, is it better to just try and abide?  Or try and restore it? Are rooms like Humpty Dumptys that can never really be tied back together again?

By the way, in a very undudelike moment of internet research, as far as I can tell the word miterate is not a real word (well, it wasn't until The Big Lebowski brought it into being).

I believe you mean "micturate", which like vagina is not heard very often. vagina.

What was your question?

[Bartender]

vagina.

I'm quite surprised by how uncomfortable this word makes me.

'you mean beaver?

[Bartender]

'you mean beaver?

Yes.  I don't like saying it.

[DigitalBuddha]

'you mean beaver?

Yes.  I don't like saying it.

But you will talk about your rod, or dick, or johnson?


Yes, you don't like hearing it and find it difficult to say. Whereas without batting an eye you will refer to your "dick" or your "rod" or your "Johnson".

hold on there DB, you are assuming Bartender is a male.

What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?

[Bartender]

I have a pair of testicles and I think that makes me a man.

Johnson?

Do you know, mathematically, worldwide, on average, each person has one testicle?

[Rev. Petra]

What room?
(The word is micturate).

[not_exactly_a_lightweight]

I think you are looking too deep into the darkness Rev.
micturate on it man,
micturate up a rope,
micturate into the wind

and I did not mean to micturate you off

Moorehead was like that.

Man, a rug really can tie a room together. It fills the empty space.

(anyone that's interested, Wal-Mart sells rugs like the one he stole from The Big Lebowski in various sizes pretty cheap, getting one when I move)

[Da Stranger]

Of course the rug ties the room together, but, man, any rug in the house can tie the room together, its not a humpty dumpty scenario. As long as you got a soft rug to put on a hard floor so u can do your tai chi and stretch out and listen to the meditative sounds of bowling in your walkman or discman or mp3 player or ipod or what have you....um...thats cool man! Just take it easy, nothing is fucked here.

[Zen Dog]

Well I think the rug is a metaphor.It is the essence that bonds things.If The Dude and Walter were the Yin and Yang of the bowling ball (c'mon,their characters were opposites) then Donny was the Rug.Every ball a strike,untill......... .
Never let anyone get away with peeing on your rug.The perfect rug is hard to replace,as demonstrated.
