Towel Day

Jeff Hess at Have Coffee Will Write has reminded us that May 25 is Towel Day. As the mother of sons who practically cut their teeth on The Hitchhiker’s Guide, I don’t know how I could have missed this. I should have felt it in the wind.

My guys read the books, listened to the radio broadcast, and watched the wonderfully cheesey old television series. They did not take too much to the recent Hollywood version. At our house, Simon Jones will always be Dent Arthur Dent.

Wanna know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything??

    Wasn’t the movie disappointing? Martin Freeman too young to play Arther Dent… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! :D

    I agree with Melinda - the film was disappointing. I still love the old campy BBC version.

    Melinda, Terry – I’m gonna have to leave this judgment to you and my boys. I couldn’t bring myself to go see it. Or perhaps more telling, since I rarely go to the movie theater any more, to put it in my Netflix queue.
