Happy Towel Day, humans! If you don't know what Towel Day is, it's a day that started in 2001 after Douglas Adams, best known as the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and a number of other awesome laugh-out-loud books beloved by nerds like me everywhere, died. May 25 was selected as a day for fans to carry a towel with them wherever they go, since a towel is a massively useful thing for interstellar hitchhikers.
So, after you're done mopping up all the blood that poured out of your ears during the Vogon Poetry Slam, stop by here and spill what's on your mind. It's an open thread, so talk amongst yourselves. What are your plans this weekend? On a scale of 1-10, how much did you love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Are you carrying a towel with you today?
And most of all, remember kids: DON'T PANIC.
For towel day, I plan on stopping this bulldozer from running over my house... oh wait, no, that was a dream! I'm going to work, but I'm speaking in couplets all day.
ReplyDeleteOh come now. That's just a normal day for you!
DeleteNurds unite!
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually read the books yet! I bought Kalvyn the entire set a few years back, and just haven't managed to crack it open yet...
ReplyDeleteYou must read them! Immmmmeeeediately! If your kids are old enough, you could even maybe read them together. They're so, so funny and wonderful. In fact, I think I'd like to read them again... :)
DeleteOn a scale of 1-10, I love HGTTG an 11.
