I'm turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.

What's a towel party, is it a theme and everyone just wears their best towel?

Half the people are going to think it's an orgy and everyone will be disappointed.

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 :)

A stranger on the Internet approves of this plan. Please provide updates. Will there be a Vogon poetry recital?

[–] the_itsb@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.
