Will a towel protect me from acid rain?

We don’t see why it wouldn’t.

I want to pitch CR for a new merch item: the Fidget-Toy-Sprinkle!

Long lanky, crimson weasel -> the head, tail and legs are soft plush & the body is plush covered twisty plastic (idk how to describe it)

You can twist, bend and otherwise reconfigure Sprinkle's spine

When you squeeze Sprinkle's head, his eyes will bug out

When you squeeze his paw, there's a 90% chance that a Travis Willingham™ soundbite of Sprinkle will play

And a 10% chance that a Matthew Mercer™ soundbite of Artagan will play

Hit me up CR merch team! I've got more ideas up my sleeve

I’m at a wedding and to give you some indication of what kind of wedding it is the bridal entrance song was “a whole new world” and the recessional was “can you feel the love tonight”

Towel Day

Towel  Day on May 25 is an annual holiday created to celebrate author Douglas  Adams by his fans. Adams wrote the classic sci-fi novel, “The  Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” This day was organized in memory of  him after he suffered a sudden heart attack at the age of 49. His fans  wanted to find a way to commemorate his life’s work, and after having  one towel day, its success made it a yearly event. On this day, fans  carry towels around everywhere they go. Today, we are celebrating this  holiday with a towel wrapped around our necks because, we too, love  Douglas Adams!

History of Towel Day

Towel  Day is celebrated on May 25, two weeks after the date of Adams’s death  in 2001 — May 11. The day has, over time, received the status of being a  kind of ‘‘geek holiday’’ due to its connection with the popular series.

Why  a towel? It’s said the towel holds much importance in “The Hitchhiker’s  Guide to the Galaxy.” Adams wrote about towels as being the most  helpful item for an interstellar traveler. In chapter three of the book,  he writes, “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 vapours; you can sleep  under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of  Kakrafoon…” and so the uses go on.

Adams’s strongest advice was  “Never go anywhere without your towel.” This day has been celebrated now  for 19 years and is a great occasion for science fiction fans all over  the world to come together and rejoice … with their towels. It is said  that Adams was a humorous writer and witty character and that this day  reflects his lovable silliness.
