Here, I thought this would be a thread about nudism.

Nudists always carry their own towel to sit on. Putting your bare butt on someone else's seat is "simply not done".

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed "Hitchhiker's Guide".
I just figured plenty of nerds would pile on the thread.

And now... for some vogon poetry:

Waking in the bulbous fields of my own demise
I see a hitchhiker before my eye
a Filthy mucous vacuous chap
stowed away, slightly drunk, smelling of unripened squashed avocados.

etc.

I see you saw a rake
mucous down my fake
turlingdromes are extinct
and we're blowing up earth today.

something like: "...a beast so stupid, it believes that if you can't see it, it can't see you..."

Ford has a towel, too?

Arthur Dent has one, as far as I recall.

More poetry, on the subject of the unreliability of early teleporting systems:
I teleported home one night,
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Maggie's heart away,
And I got Sidney's leg.

If the risk is misplaced body-parts; there's a hole host of comical possibilites between Ron, Sid, and Meg...

Only because Ford gave him one while explaining their usefulness. But I was referring to the Ford in the movie version from which my gif was taken. The guy behind Zaphod is Ford, and that is most definitely a towel around his neck, both keeping him warm, and supporting his hands.

You all realize of course that Arthur was only able to coherently withstand the Vogon poetry reading, because there are only 2 forms of poetry worse than Vogon poetry. The single worst is human poetry.
And I quote......

Ah maybe the movie includes some extra things not in the books. That's quite often the case. But why does Zaphod Beeblebrox (if it is he) have only have one head in your clip?

I recall this exchange:
ZB (to insect receptionist): Don't you try to out-weird me. I get stranger things than you in my breakfast cereal.
Recep: Well, who exactly do you think you are, then? Zaphod Beeblebrox or something?
ZB (rasping): Count the heads.

In the old movie, they dealt with it this way...

while in the more recent film, they went with this....
