          It’s a reference to the book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy where:

          a) the number 42 plays a significant role b) the towel is hailed as the most useful thing a galaxy hitchhiker could possibly posses.

          So Don’t Panic and don’t forget your towel :)

          I think the physical and psychological distress that tend to result from Vogon poetry would be problematic for the celebrational mood I’m hoping to achieve, but there will definitely be gorgeous sandwiches crafted by the loving hands of an artisan of intergalactic renown.

          I’ve never seen a recipe for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters that appealed to me, but I’m hoping to get that sorted as well.

    Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home

    When you shop for towels, don’t get a towel, get a “bath sheet”. They are XL towels

    Stay at a better hotel then. This is like shopping at Walmart and complaining about how many people in there smell bad.

      Growing up we never went to hotels or anywhere, really. Mother stole our towels from grandma, who got them free from the grocery store on rewards points in the 70’s.

    Has anyone noticed hotels are also giving you less towels overall? Last hotel I stayed at I got one bathtowel, one hand towel and a washcloth. Guess If I spill anything I’ll just clean it with the bath mat?

    I have had to stay in a lot of hotels and the good the bad and the disgusting, it doesn’t matter.

    I am bringing my own fucking towel. You can say “stay at a nicer place” all you want. but those who can afford those places, are also those who can affod to be the sickest, most perverted fuckers out there and employees that give far less a fuck’s worth of care.

    Two stories:

    The last time I stayed in a Motel 6, maybe 35 years ago, the towel was practically tissue paper.

    I once delivered a box of towels to the Senate Club at the Forum (back when the Lakers played there), and wow did I ever see how the wealthy live! Those were the biggest, most luxurious towels I’ve ever felt.

    This, but my pillow. Since I learned how amazing latex foam pillows are, I’ve had a hard time sleeping on regular pillows ever since.

    Why are they heavy tho? I have a much thicker towel at home but it’s much lighter than hotel’s.
