[edit] Plot
Towelie is working at a restaurant called P.F. Chang's. Unfortunately he is high and is too busy mixing sauce to care about anything else. The people he is "serving" complain to another waiter who fires Towelie for being clueless.
Walking down the street, he realizes now he has no work he has no way of making money and will end up unable to pay the rent. He ponders on whether he should get high or not, but this usually causes problems, but getting high makes him smarter. Opting to get high, he comes up with an idea.
At his home, he types up his biography, entitled "A Million Little Fibers".
At the publisher's, Towelie is turned down because it is an autobiography of a towel. To Towelie's disappointment, people don't want to read towel's autobiographies.
Returning home he decides to make some alterations. He crosses out all the uses of the word "towel" and replaces them with "person".
After a visiting a different publisher's, wearing a fake moustauche and a hat and using the name "Stephen McTowelie".
The book becomes a hit and makes "Oprah's Book of the Month" on The Oprah Winfrey Show. As Oprah discusses plans for the show, her vagina (Mingey) and anus (Gary) complain about how little attention they get.
Towelie's appearance on the show makes the book a bestseller, but Mingey and Gary decide to phone up Geraldo Rivera and explain that Oprah has given the "Book of the Month" award to a towel so she will be disliked and will lose her job meaning Mingey and Gary will get much more attention.
When Geraldo manages to reveal all by phoning in on Larry King Live, Oprah's fans are angered at her. She manages to win them back however by inviting Towelie back and giving the audiences flaming torches which they can use to chase after Towelie with. He is horrified and runs for his life, Mingey and Gary realize what is happening and produce a gun as the group stop in front of a building. Mingey (despite Gary's pleas) holds everyone hostage with the gun, and even shoots a policeman. Towelie manages to squeeze through the gap in the door of the building and opens it, ushering everyone inside. A policeman shoots Gary and Mingey shoots himself, killing Oprah as well.
Towelie realizes that getting high should be a reward, and not to be used for ideas.
