On May 25th we'll celebrate "Towel Day" - in memory of Douglas Adams. How about a nice in his memory? Could be quite simple, a picture of towel and some text to go along, or just a huge 42 in the center of the screen. Any thoughts? ~ 12:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Here's one: The surest way of seeing a reskin made is by working on it yourself. :) —Major Sir Hinoa prepare for trouble • make it double? 12:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

True, but considering the fact that I have no design/graphic ability whatsoever....`tis a bit or a problem. I usually use the kind services of Modusoperandi dry humor designs inc.. 12:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Just about anything in memory of the great man would be worthwhile. RabbiTechno 12:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. TOWEL DAY RESKIN IS A MUST.... i'll do it if necessary so sayeth Sliferjam ~ Talk * Sock * Jam * Gallery * Fearless Fosdick? 21:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Both good, personally I prefer DNATater. RabbiTechno 16:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

How about one with Marvin the Paranoid Android? Or was it Morally Depressed Android? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

How's this? so sayeth Sliferjam ~ Talk * Sock * Jam * Gallery * Fearless Fosdick? 18:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Good but I like the Classic Marvin better. I heard the original Marvin suit got destroyed except for the head, and they had to create a new Marvin for the movie. I guess they went the Teletubby way when Disney produced the movie to appeal to kids, and took "Brain the size of a planet" too literally and gave him a big head. Good enough anyway, I like your version. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 20:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Great idea. Much as I like all the attempts, I'm for DNATater. Perhaps the others could replace the logos in other namespaces or something. --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 19:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Much as I'd love to pretend we're endorsed by DNA himself, I think that one's a bit too obvious - I vote for the GreenTater for the subtlety (only with added "Don't Panic" stolen from DNATater). Otherwise, just let it all out and call it "We're doing a tribute to Douglas Adams today" Day. -- (but) ~~Untrue~~ Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 19:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Whatever logo gets picked, I hope towels are involved somewhere on the main page. "Uncyclopedia, the hoopy-frood encyclopedia that knows where its towel is." (It'd be an awful shame if someone goes to a lot of work on a reskin to tribute Douglas Adams on Towel Day without mentioning towels) --The Acceptable
