Well, I was planning on writing in Hitchhiker references into my death in round 42 anyway.
Too bad I forgot Towel Day this year.
"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; use it to sail a mini raft 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 to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); 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.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with."

@Steke: Wait, what? Towel Day is on the 25th of May. You didn't miss it.
Of course, Adams passed away on this day, if that's what you're referring to. But the two days are separate.
God knows I got my calendar marked!

@[user]WP[/user] This is... awkward. For a while now, I have been thinking that May was last month... No wonder I was getting stressed out about those projects. I still have lot of time to procrastinate.

@CA: I refuse to sing without music, because I naturally assume my voice is that bad >.>
@WarP: I knoooooow I showed my face in the Caruso. xD But that was a still image! I ain't showing a video of me singing.
Mainly because the last few times I've tried, I stop and start a lot, or re-do bits where I borked. s: (Which is usually ALL OF IT.)

@Steke: Aw, there there... you're probably right. <_<
@Sky: You could do what I'd do and heavily edit it up the ass.

@sky: Pweeze?
I will buy you a muffin.
And not be able to give it to you.
Maybe I'll build a catapult and fire it at... somewhere... the muffin, that is.

@Trilby: I have a theoretical degree in physics. If you need assistance with drawing up blueprints for the 'pult, I'll be happy to help.
@sky: I will bribe you ONE (1) muffin to sing on camera.
Said muffin will be delivered by oversized medieval siege weaponry.
It will be a double chocolate chip muffin.
You will enjoy it.

@sky: But... but I already have the catapult...
