Towel Day - May 25th

Which of you froods will be celebrating?

And how many strags have no idea what I'm on about?

This strag has no clue. What kind do I need? Beach, bath or paper?

Typically Bath, but whatever you're comfortable hanging around your neck.

Towels are extremely useful. I just used mine to clean up the mess left after a couple of Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters.

No clue here. What is it, a "towels are useful" awareness day?

I'm a froopy dude. I'll be celebrating!

Indeed, a towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

Here's my webcomic's celebration of towel day.

Of course, when i suggested it to the artist, I didn't know it WAS towel day tomorrow.

Sounds like some reverse temporal engineering has been employed by someone there.

Or it could just be a staggering coincidence.

If anyone is still in any doubt what us hoopies are on about, I've been busily reviewing the radio series at http://stevetrower.com/blog
