In a harsh universe, you need to know where your towel is.
Carry it with you tomorrow in support of Towel Day 2010!
Feel free to post pictures of you carrying your towel.
This important announcement is brought to you in memory of the indescribably amazing Douglas Adams.

Ive never heard of such a bizarre idea in my life. I wouldnt be seen dead walking round with a towel looking like Peanuts or his mate, whichever of them carried his blankie.

Its a day in tribute to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. :) It has nothing to do with Peanuts. A towel could save your life after all. ;)

Traveling with your towel. It feels a bit like being drunk.

What's so wrong with being drunk?

Gosh, you sound like you need to get in touch with your inner child and find a sense of fun in the bizarre!
:D
Most people carry them in their handbag or briefcase. Read the book for guidance.
There are at least 42 events around the world celebrating Towel Day 2010.

Its a Douglas Adams set up.- Its how a glass of water feels.
Went to the Rugby yesterday and among the fans' shirts was one that said

Gordon Bennet, I know it was a set-up; my response was the correct one, and you're supposed to respond with:
"Ask a glass of water."
Sheesh!
Remedial HHGTTG for you.

I hope he's wearing it again tomorrow!

And you've even got a 25 in your name!
As to time zones, yes, I should have made that clear - it's still not until tomorrow for most of you lot of behind-the-time people.
25 May.

I'm probably ahead of most people here time-wise. I felt like I was the only person walking around with a towel in my whole city :) And the city is actually pretty big.

Why do you say that MotherHubbard? I think all three are quite charming. I do particularly like the idea that Meg's could be made of chemtrails, though. :D

Lucky it's payable in Euro - 33 + about 20 for postage. That's about $2.30 NZ, so I'll get a couple.

I made sure to pack a towel in my backpack before I went to school today, and then I told everyone that didn't know about Towel Day, uh, about Towel Day. For some reason, they looked at me kind of funny when I told them about it. :p
