Everyday is towel day for me and I answer every question by screaming, "FORTY TWO" at the person asking me.

Anyone who has drunk a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster has no living taste buds left.

Really, I like having my brain smashed it with a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.

Well, you try finding brassieres in triple-cup DD sometime! Especially in the crap malls of Eroticon Six!

 
techbuzz 2008-05-25 02:41:35 PM  
I like the 42 towel, but it's tiny. Anyone know where I can find a beach size version?

 
Half Man Half Biscuit 2008-05-25 02:43:17 PM

But what if you don't own a proper towel? What if you prefer to drip-dry? Maybe you live in a wind tunnel and have no need for an absorbent piece of cloth.

Well the folks at ThinkGeek are now offering this beautiful 42 Utility Towel.


At least have the decency of using the Plug tag.

/ Blatant Advert.....

Thank you, only 17 posts on the count but I would have been sorely disappointed without a towelie reference.

Guess this is a good time to share this...

Recorded this silly bit of music a few years ago. Guitars are me (porno guitar and tremolo bar part is Strat, rest is Les Paul), rest I programmed in Reason (I think it was Reason... lol).

The Towelie Song

Hope it gives somebody a little chuckle.

The guy who used Douglas Adams as reference #42 in his Master's thesis is pretty cool.

Crap. Above song is NSFW.

I have the HHGTTG smiley-planet tattooed on my forearm. On the opposing forearm is the three-eyed smiley from Transmetropolitan.

I am clearly a dork.

Great. Just in time to poke Paul Bellini too.

 
Rubberband Girl [TotalFark] 2008-05-25 02:49:29 PM  
Aw! I forgot my towel today! I'll watch "Hitchhicker's Guide" and drink a brew when I get home in Adams' honor.

Oh, is it my day again already? Pan galactic gargle blasters will be happily accepted at this end of the bar.

So... I'm having trouble with the headline and this thread...

Aren't we supposed to be seeing Zarkin Frood in a towel here?

/Must have had a little too much of the Ol' Janx Spirit for breakfast.

Harmless.

/Mostly.

Today is my girlfriend's birthday. She is a nerd and a huge Douglas Adams HHGG fan! She will love to her about this. I should buy her a towel for a gift.

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases.
"For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we eat? the second by the question Why do we eat? and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?"

/Crud, and here I am wondering about dinner tonight and pondering "What shall I eat?"
//Very uncivilized

 
Miss Misery 2008-05-25 03:17:08 PM  
Whoa! I totally jogged around the park with a towel so I could sit and relax after my run. I celebrated without even knowing!!!
