International Towel Day 2010

Happy International Towel Day to all.

And Remember, those flying yellow vogon contructor fleet ships that look like bricks in the sky are just halucinations, just have your drinks and packets of penuts ready and keep ahold of that towel!

Title of the Blog

If anyone's reading this and wonder, "Why is it called, Domain of the King?" Well, when I started up this blog, in the heady days of May 2008, I was listening through the radio drama version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, It was the fifth one, and all of a sudden, the main characters arrive at a little place called The Domain of the King Bar and Grill, and during one exchange of the characters, a joke was dropped and we get the reason for the name of the bar, Domain of the King.

I like the joke and that's what I called this blog.

Just in case anyone wanted to know.

International Towel Day

"A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. 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 vapors; 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 (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."

Do you know where your towel is?
