Happy Towel day
May 25, 2012 at 5:06 pm
Towel Day is an annual celebration on the 25th of May, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001). On that day, fans around the universe proudly carry a towel in his honor.

I shed a tear when Dawkins made that aside for Douglas in his book, The God Delusion. It was really touching.

Not an HHGG fan? “What the heck is the towel about?” you ask. Well, strag*, it goes like this. In chapter three of the Hitchhiker’s Guide, Adams explains that a towel “is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” So one who is both hoopy* and a frood* should always have a towel handy. Just read the book.

*A strag is a non-hitchhiker; hoopy means “really together”; a frood is a “really amazingly together guy,” all of which you would know if you weren’t such a strag. Read the book, already.

I told several people to have a happy towel day, and I carried mine over my shoulder. You should've seen the puzzled looks on peoples' faces!

"Why do you have that towel?"

"Cuz I'm a hoopy frood! Where's your towel?"

"Uhhh..."

"Always know where your towel is! Have a happy towel day!"
