Attention, Hoopy Froods! A Giveaway!

Megan Messinger

Do you know where your towel is? Right now? This instant?

Do you want to?

Thanks to the wonderful Colleen Lindsay, we have a prize pack to give away, consisting of a set of the new US editions of Douglas Adams’ original five-book Hitchhiker trilogy; a signed copy of Eoin Colfer’s new Hitchhiker book, And Another Thing; a copy of Colfer’s Artemis Fowl; and your very own DON’T PANIC tea-towel. (The words on the towel are much larger and friendlier that that; see below.)

The Rules: All you have to do to win this embarrassment of riches is comment (once—duplicates won’t count) on this post before noon EST, Tuesday, November 10th. A winner be be selected at random. Please check your email on Tuesday! You have 24 hours to respond before I select a new winner. And if you’re not the winner this time, well...

Megan Messinger’s parents skimped a bit on their preparatory research, and thought that a double-initial would be nicely inconspicuous.

The reader thoroughly scanned the linguistic centres of the blogger's brain and sent some test signals to determine how the blogger would react to various word combinations. No one knew why it did this, as it invariably produced a block of text which was almost but not quite entirely unlike a comment.

Count me in (if readers outside of the USA can participate, that is).

Anyway... just wanting to share something with people who even _know_ who Douglas Adams is: back in the late 90's, I think, I found a forum where someone posted what was supposed to be Douglas Adams' real email address. So naturally I emailed him something like, "Are you Mr. Douglas Adams? _The_ Douglas Adams?"

He replied "Well it wouldn't be fair to the other Douglas Adams living in England if I claimed to be _The_ Douglas Adams, but if you mean Douglas Adams the author then, yes, it's me" (more or less that's what he replied).

He's one of the funniest authors I've read, and he's surely missed by lots of people.

Being a D.A. fan, those books would be nice. Having read all the Artemis books so far, I think a new hitchhiker book by Eoin Colfer is the draw here!

I remember thinking while reading the first Artemis book how the comic releif reminded me of someone...

And a towel TOO??? BRILLIANT!
