Gimme a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster and let's celebrate! 

My towel came in useful today when I experienced a decided lack of raincoat during an unexpected storm. Luckily my towel was easily modified into a bright orange hood.

I alos enjoy that my boss is to a point where when I proudly displayed my towel and exclaimed it to be towel day she simply shrugged and went about her life.

I thought every day was towel day?  If you are an expert.

It is not advisable to show up to work in nothing but a towel.  Apparently, they frown on that particular type of wardrobe.  Something about being too casual.

That depends on where you work.

The only towels I can get around my fat ass are beach towels.

That's what I used. Went my my tastefully restrained bright orange with pink tips over my Spiderman beach towel.

I have just returned from a weekend away camping, where I forgot to pack a towel.  Stupid, stupid.....

Were you eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal?

No, just a few midges.  I did eat a huge amount of barbecued food though, so am surprised that I didn't at least make a noise like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

Does British BBQ differ much from American BBQ?  Not that American BBQ is the BBQ to judge all other BBQ's, but it is a frame of reference that most here can relate to.

Same stuff.  Burgers, sausages, ribs, chicken (I usually do mine Thai or curry, sometimes some satay), maybe prawns.

Thai and curry != BBQ, you wanker!

If it ain't southern style, it ain't barbiekyoo.

Silly Brits!

Yeah I am assuming Dalty made the classic non-southern thing of confusing grilling with BBQ.

Of course, knowing Dalty, he had only the finest cuts of meat from endangered and even extinct species for his grill. He, at great cost, had dodo and woolly mammoths genetically grown so he could grill them and eat them.

'Nowt stopping you marinating the chicken or beef in a thai or tikka mix overnight first before getting it on the grill!  Ditto with satay.

Barbecuing..... cooking (usually cremating) shit outside on a great big flamey thing?  Is it different in the South of the US?  And wasn't BBQ, whilst invented by cavemen, refined / defined by the Aussies?  I thought the BBQ and the rotary washing line were the only 2 things of value that Australia had gifted the world.  Three, if you include Kylie Minogue's bottom.

Grilling is cooking relatively quickly over a hot, open flame.

BBQ is low and slow, for hours.  This involves much smoke and the consumption of much beer.

And also includes tasty, tasty sauces that come in many varieties, different regions usually having a specialty. Personally I prefer the spicier taste of Kansas City BBQ, but Carolina style is also quite tasty.

Ahem.......TASTY!

Just thought I needed to say it one more time.

Tuscaloosa/Dreamland-style BBQ is a favorite of mine.

KC BBQ is pretty good.  Carolina-style BBQ is all right.

Obviously I am partial to Texas BBQ. Mmmmm brisket

KC Gates BBQ sauce is great. KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce is great. Mix them together, and, well...
