A day in the life of Ron Artest, the Hitchiker's Guide version... i.e. 42 is the a=swer

Ron Artest awoke from his slumber. His eyes opened at the usual rate, but with significantly more protest than usual. Something was amiss from his usual sleeping pattern...

"42," He thought to himself...

...

"42?" He pondered.

Ron Ron reached for his jock... It wasn't there.

"Peculiar," thought Ron Ron, "Where did I leave my jock?"

Artest began searching, curious regarding it's fate. He scurried here and there, hither and tither. To no avail.

His eyes strayed to the Rose Garden floor.

"White," he thought to himself, then he busied himself resuming looking for his lost jock.

After some long moments involving a Rose Garden security guard, an unruly fan, and a pet psychic, Ron thought:

"White."

Ron's brain struggled to find something to connect it to.

"Dunk," his brain said.

Satisfied, Ron continued on his quest for the lost jock, but an annoying buzzing pestered him.

"Roy," thought Artest

But what did that mean? He had 400 boxes of Nilla Wafers in his locker, yet he was not sure exactly why.

There must be some explanation.

"Roy, score." Of course.

His brain satisfied with a simple answer, Ronny thought about making himself scrambled eggs.

"Wait..." He thought. "What is this?"

"White," said his brain.

Because I'm tired

And I’m pretty sure the BEdge hates me.

Nah, I don’t hate you.

Hmmm... Not much of a "Fight Club" guy

But I was more going for Douglas Adams.

And according to some of these comments: failed.

I'm glad your community has such a high bar

In all seriousness I am glad your community focuses on the good that Artest does and is not judgemental. He can’t help it if he’s nuts. Can he?

I'm a little confused by your tactics

I'm guessing

none or few of us read ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’ I know I didn’t, and this post means nothing to me.

Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

great book

I’m reading some of them now. Douglas Adams has a unique, but hilarious writing style that is particularly difficult to emulate. I don’t see much connection between this post and those books. Perhaps there wasn’t meant to be.

I’d definitely recommend the books.
