Don't panic... grab a towel

From Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

Grab a towel and raise your thumb... escape the intergalactic freeway being built in YOUR back yard.

  1. Why did I figure you'd be the one to appreciate this the most?

  7. Grabbed a towel, raised my thumb - which promptly got stabbed by a thorn on the rosebush. Sucked my thumb, dropped the damn towel, and now the whole neighborhood is laughing......

  11. Ok. And the answer is 42.

  13. Well, Multiply seems to have eaten the reply to this that i made yesterday, and now i've forgotten what i said. Oh, wait, i remember now. i said at least i'm wearing sweats, not a bathrobe.

  14. Are you sure you meant Perfect, not Prefect?

    I recently reread that book. Too bad we can't all time travel back a few years before Multiply was going away, or a few years into the future to know what will not be taken away within the next 5 years so we know where to go. LOL
