Loc: Games server > Funland > Drop Party So exciting, so thrilling, just had to share with you all this glorious day, because we ALL know just How IMPORTANT your towel is, eh! ... its all clear as a mudbath right here... "A towel is just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. 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 miniraft 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 avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. One of the fancier utility towels that some hitchhikers choose to have. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with. Hence a phrase which has passed into hitch hiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." A proud salute to the all-mighty Douglas Adams. That's right! Because I felt that this was as good a day to celebrate as anything else, and to take the opportunity to give some vouchers and stuff away, at Trivia tonight 7 pm, 12041 on smp6. Other giveaways to follow later on in the evening for those who can attend. This event is just intended as a celebration for fun. Special Guest: Arthur Dent ! So whether we see you or not, may you all have a splendid day & weekend, and please, Don't forget your Towel!
I'm sorry, but I probably can't come. I have a birthday party to go to today (for a good friend's older brothers), and I'm still not sure what time.
