      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?

          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.

      Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you’re using detergent with built in softener it’ll do the same.

      Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.

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

        You can go to a better place and pay less, but you go ahead and act superior since you clearly know what you’re talking about and aren’t just pulling shit out of your ass.

      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.

          Pillow menu. Not towel menu. You can ask the hotel for a latex pillow or foam or soft or hard or duck feathers etc.
