h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello, journal

Posted Jul 7, 2000

A bland and rather uninteresting topic heading. Still, it works. This being my first journal entry, I think it should be used to discuss something of great importance: the towel (huzzah, all hail the towel!). Do you remember as a kid running around in the yard wearing a towel as a cape? Ah, the days in which we did not know the importance of a towel. We thought they were only used for drying things and to pretend you were Batman or Superman or any other superhero with a cape... Garbage Can Polishing man, perhaps? Now they are so much more to us: I cannot, honestly, think of a way of life that does not include the towel as a vital prerequisitional possesion fundamentally NEEDED to carry out everyday tasks. It is just SO HANDY! I will not, of course, go into many ways of use the towel has - for that you can look up Towels in the Guide - but one use that just came to me this morning is to wear it around your neck like a scarf... sort of. Except unlike a scarf, towel material is less flexible, and is rather stiff at times, which is GOOD because you can wear it like a collar that sticks up to about your mouth (ever seen Vincent Valentine on Final Fantasy 7? You'll know exactly what I mean). It looks very cool (well, I think so) and is comfortable and warm. Anyways, until nest time...
