10 Hoopy Froods Who Know Where Their Towel Is

May 25th is Towel Day {wiki} in tribute to Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He wrote that a towel is “the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”

On Towel Day, all of Adams’ fans are encouraged to carry a towel around with them, or to at least know where their towel is, following the great tradition of hitchhiking, traveling, managing, and adventuring laid out in his work. Naturally, this got us to thinking about all the hoopy (really together guy) froods (really amazingly together guys) that we know in fiction that really know where their towels are. You know, the characters who you could drop off anywhere and anywhere in the space time continuum, and come back in an hour and they’d already be lounging in perfect confidence and opulence, nocking back something highly alcoholic. Any one 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.

Movie, comic, and science fiction fans will surely find something to argue over in this list at The Mary Sue. Link -Thanks, Susana Polo!

    No Faceman? Templeton Peck is pretty much the definition of being able to get it anywhere at any time.

    I’m celebrating by washing towels -at least two washer loads.

    There is a towel less than six feet from me right now. And I’m at the office. Safety first.

    I am such a DNA nerd, not only do I have every book he ever wrote/collaborated with, but I also went on a 4 month search for the perfect “ugly” towel.

    My towel is in a file cabinet drawer in my office, along with teabags, Bandaids and Cup O’ Noodles soup. I’m ready!
