Today is Towel Day

Post by Dalton »

I'd've posted this earlier if I remembered. Today is Towel Day, commemorating Douglas Adams, who died two years ago on this day.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Funnily enough I spent most of today lounging around at home wrapped in an extra large bath towel. It was one of those lazy days when the weather's all crappy and I can't be bothered to leave the warm comfort of my home.

Well I'll certainly have my share of Pan Galactic Gargleblasters tonight (actually finding every alcoholic beverage left in the kitchen and using Bex's cocktail mixer).

*Salutes*

And I still haven't read Salmon of Doubt for fear of wanting it to be finished so badly. :(

About 2 months ago, I bought Stephen Hawking's "The Theory of Everything". The guy at the counter said "the answer is 42".... I was completely clueless about why he said that. Then it hit me while I was getting in the car. I need a good towel whipping for that momentary lapse.

Never mind the Towel Whipping, I think you need a good dose of Vogon Poetry... if I were you, I'd start knawing your legs off now.
