Happy Towel Day: Six Life Lessons From Marvin The Paranoid Android
To celebrate the life and work of Douglas Adams (a dude in his own right), as we must always do on May 25, we should all make an effort to be better, cleverer people, taking the words of one of his finest, noblest characters as direct inspiration: Marvin the Paranoid Android.
So, with that aim in mind, these are the six things you need to get yourself sorted, helping you become satisfied and fully rounded human beings, all backed up with some of Marvin?s most inspirational quotes. You can go ahead and transfer his eternal wisdom onto gifs for social media, or even have them indelibly inked onto various parts of your body using tattoos...

To celebrate Towel Day, I watched the 1981 TV series.
Accompanied by a couple of Caucasians in lieu of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
Damn it I miss this every year!
Happy towel day for the other day Dudes.
Bath robes (AKA dressing gowns) and towels seem to be a staple of relaxed dudes...

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you here DB. Arthur Dent was never one of the calmest Dudeist individuals in the book/film/TV series. Now Ford Prefect or Zaphod Beeblebrox they where froody.

I was thinking of Ford and his towel. I agree; Arthur Dent was rather uptight. 8)
