If you see people around with towels today, it’s because they are fans of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and they are paying tribute to Douglas Adams. Adam was the first I heard talking about it. And this morning, I myself was asked to take a picture. Seems lots of people are getting in on the fun.
I’ve added a haiku page (linked over in the sidebar to the right), because what’s more fun than a little haiku when you’re bored? A few friends have already gotten things started…

Thanks, Adam, for all the fun fodder.
We made it to the the R. Kelley Trapped in the Closet Sing Along. What a blast! Kristin has been so very excited about this. She showed up with a bag of props, including a pear, a deck of cards, a roll of toilet paper, and condoms. She seemed very upset that she was unable to locate cherries. I think she paid more attention when
she saw it, because I honestly couldn’t remember exactly what any of the props were for. Most of this stuff was tossed around at crucial times during the video at Kristin’s command, "Throw it!"
We met up with Jon, Kristopher, and Jen at the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse (a place I’m not likely to go back to – undergrad sportsbar from hell!) across the street. Jen didn’t have a ticket, and the event was sold out, so we had to work the line to get her hooked up, but we did it! I’m sure she’s thrilled we did.
This event was transported from Austin, and they actually flew the host up. He was a total trip! Seriously. He presented us with the question of the night, which was this…
Is R. Kelley a genius or a fucking retard?
We answered this question by taking a trip through R. Kelley’s musical past. The Trapped in the Closet episodes were separated by RK videos, and everyone was encouraged to get up and dance, and dance we did! Even hopped up on the stage. There were RK-style improvs from audience members, as well as several "Trapped" parodies, including South Park, Dave Chappelle, and a bad remake by an Austin high school student. The TITC chapters played with subtitles, and the audience sang along. We were encouraged to leave the theater using the phrase "hot mess." Everyone say it with me:
HOT MESS
The line that always sticks with me is:
What I’m about to tell you is so damn twisted / not only is a man in the cabinet, but the man / is a midget-midget-midget.
It was a really late night, and there are reports to write, so those of you who joined me, please add more.
On Friday, my friend Kristin in Houston innocently posted a picture of her Easter pedicure. And so, the fun resumes…

Dear Kristin (and mom), I can’t help myself. I have to be a troublemaker here. My mother has come across this phenomenon on Flickr. If you tag things as feet and toes, you will get LOTS of views because there are so many foot fetishists on Flickr… So I am so bad. I just tagged your pedicure picture on Flickr with both "feet" and "toes." It’s 6:30pm on Friday right now, and this picture has been viewed once. Now let’s see how many views it gets!!! Kristin, please forgive me. My mother and I end up talking about this more often than you could imagine! Plus, it’s a really pretty picture! If you see this as horrible and unforgiveable, I will remove the tags immediately! – Abby

Dear Abby (and Abby’s Mom), I told my sister about this. How do I tag her picture as feet and toes? Can you do hers too? The picture has already been viewed more times than any of my other pictures. Fifteen last I checked. Silly fetishists. – Kristin in Texas

Kristin (and Abby) – I feel certain you will receive hundreds of hits. Check this out: These feet and legs are 67 years old and have been viewed 277 times. My painfully swollen feet and legs from the same day have been viewed 162 times. Even Mickey’s full body shot, labeled with "legs" has been viewed 64 times. And who would have thought feet with Halloween socks would pull in 43 views? – Abby’s Mom/Sharon

Apparently, I can’t resist the urge to be amused by this phenomena either! Picture 1, Picture 2. – Kristin

And thus began the birth of the new Flickr group, Sexy Pet Toes! We invite everyone to join . Thanks for the laughs, Kristin and mom!
