Clean up with a cheap Famicom-style towel
NCSX is selling their remaining stock of these lovely red-and-gold Famicom towels for just $13.90 each. These are big beach towels with the "Family Computer" logo and some controller outlines emblazoned on them, and they were originally produced by Banpresto in 2005.
We're guessing that, for some reason, the segment of NCSX's customer base that regularly visits the beach is smaller than they expected. If we needed a beach towel, we would totally buy this one, but we have no use for a beach towel, much like most shut-in game nerds. Well, except for when we run out of regular towels and we have to awkwardly dry off after our shower with one of these giant things. But we're not buying a beach towel just for that.

Hehe, neat. I'm thinking about it. I do need a new beach towel...

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a towel is just about the most useful thing anyone can have...

I, too, thought Hitchhiker's Guide upon reading through this article. I rather prefer a beach towel's size to a normal towel for everyday use... although that opinion chances once said towel is actually used on the beach. Nothing says "I hate life" like a towel that feels like it has sand in it, no matter how many times it is washed.
Though, honestly, with a towel that cool, it would be just as noble to frame it and hang it in the living room.

"although that opinion changes once said towel is actually used on the beach."
Better.
