Geocache Description:

25 May 2023, 18:00 - 20:00

🇸🇮 Pridite (seveda obvezno z brisačo, sicer se ne boste mogli vpisati v dnevnik 😉) na znano lokacijo v Črnučah na Dan Mladosti ob 18.00. Dogodka bo nepreklicno konec ob 20.00, saj se bo takrat začel recital Vogonske poezije. Kaj je Dan mladosti bi moralo biti vsaj v naši regiji splošno znano. Uporabnost brisače pa je poznana tudi onkraj meja znanega vesolja.

Štoparski vodnik po Galaksiji ve o brisačah povedati kar dosti stvari: Brisača, pravi, je takole približno naj – naj najkoristnejša stvar, ki si jo medzvezdni popotnik lahko omisli.

Po eni plati ima veliko praktično vrednost – lahko jo ovije okrog sebe, da ga greje, ko prečka mrzle lune Bete Jaglana; na lesketajočih se plažah iz marmornega peska na Santraginusu V se lahko uleže nanjo in vdihava opojne morske hlape; na njej lahko spi pod zvezdarni, ki sijejo tako žareče rdeče na puščavskem Kakrafoonu; lahko jo razpne kot jadro na majhnem splavu in se odpelje po počasni težki reki Moth; mokro lahko uporabi kot orožje v boju z golimi rokami; lahko si jo ovije okrog glave, da se zaščiti pred škodljivimi izparinami ali da se obrani pogleda traalskega hroščatega krvoloka (neznansko neumna žival: če ga ne morete videti, sklepa, da tudi on ne vidi vas – zabit ko štor, ampak zelo zelo krvoločen); z njo lahko maha v stiski, da prikliče pomoč, in seveda se z njo lahko tudi obriše, če je še vedno dovolj snažna.

Še mnogo pomembnejša je psihološka vrednost brisače. Je že tako, da vsak strag (strag: ne-popotnik, bunkelj), brž ko pri štoparju opazi brisačo, samodejno privzame, da poseduje štopar tudi zobno krtačko, flanelasto otiračo za obraz, milo, pločevinko keksov, čutarico, kompas, zemljevid, klobčič vrvice, razpršilec proti obadom, opremo za dež, vesoljski skafander itd itd. Še več, taisti strag bo tudi z veseljem posodil štoparju katerokoli od teh ali nadaljnjega ducata drugih stvari, ki jih je štopar po nesreči “izgubil”. Strag si namreč misli, da je vsakdo, ki je prepotoval Galaksijo podolgem in počez, se prebil skozi njene temačne kotičke, vzdržal v strahotno neenaki borbi s sovražnimi silami in jih končno tudi premagal, pri vsem tem pa še vedno ve, kje ima brisačo, očitno človek, s katerim je treba računati.

Od tod tudi izraz, ki se je ustalil v štoparskem žargonu, kot na primer v zvezi “Hej, ti gnaš tega hupi Forda Prefecta? Tapravi frud, ve, kje ima brisačo.” (Gnaš, gnajti: poznati, vedeti za, srečati, spati z; hupi: kul tip; frud: res blazno kul tip.)

🇧🇼 Come (with a towel of course, otherwise you will be denied to sign the logbook 😉) to familiar location in Črnuče district of Ljubljana on the Day of Youth at 18.00. The event will be over at exactly 20.00, when the recital of Vogon poetry starts. What is Day of Youth should be known at least in this region. Usability of the towel, though, is known beyond the limits of known Universe.

A towel, says The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker, muggle) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man 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.

Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)
