Happy Towel Day 2006!!
 

Just wanted to be the first to wish everyone a Happy Towel Day!
Did you remember your towel? I sure did (and it has dolphins on it!)
If you're clueless check out this site (or if you prefer Wikipedia, here)

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); 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

OMG... I have already seen about 10 people (in a school of 700) with towels around their necks, and that's only after 1st period. I didn't know about it, but it probably doesn't help that I haven't read Hitchhiker's yet.

Either way, Happy Towel Day!

Thanks for the reminder! I nearly forgot it was towel day today with everything else I have going on, I'll be sure to get my towel now.

Well, I used a towel this morning to dry my hair, and I'm wearing a tie today that's big enough to look/feel like a towel.. Does that count?

Stupidest book I've ever read. Stupidest holiday I've ever heard of.

Almost forgot: Just put my towel on just in time. Now for a marthon of themini series and then the movie which was horrible, then listen to the radio series, and to finsh it off with the reading of the first book.
