YKK - Check your pants... you might be surprised.

Well... you learn something new every day.  I had no idea.  But I checked my pants, and sure enough, there it was... YKK.

Yeah, I noticed the YKK-on-every-zipper thing years ago.  Like seriously 20 or so years.  I know I was a kid.

I used to always wonder if Ya Kid K of Technotronic/"Pump Up the Jam" fame based her name on the YKK zipper.

You know what I hate? Zippers that aren't easy to pull down. Some just have a lot of friction when you pull them down. Surely our zipper technology has evolved to the point that we shouldn't be bothered by this.

I don't have many of those, but I have several pairs of dress pants that have those little tiny zippers that get stuck in the bottom of the flap.  I hate that.

I hate that too.  Beyond that, though, I'd have to say most of my zippers seem pretty spot-on.

It's more of a problem with dress pants, I've noticed.

This was a question on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' a long time ago and I became aware of it then... probably about 10 years now.

I actually have a lot of clothes with zippers that aren't labeled with YKK though.

Yea I heard about this a few years ago... it was an amazing thing to learn.

I wonder what a Japanese business man who owns a company that only makes zippers is like...

Son: Father, we are the largest zipper manufacturers in the world, but it is boring. We have all this money! Let us diversify.

Father: *SLAPS SON* HOW DARE YOU? YOU HAVE DISHONORED THE MEMORIES OF OUR ANCESTORS! WE ONLY MAKE ZIPPERS!

Son: *sobs* Why must you drink all this Sake?

Father: I am sorry son. Come, let us grope some women on the subway.

I wonder what an Overwritten poster who is starting to get a little worried about me is like.

Ghandi: Pug, we are the smallest most tightly knit community on the interwebs. We have all this potential! Let us expand.

Pug: *SLAPS GHANDI* HOW DARE YOU? YOU HAVE DISHONORED THE MEMORIES OF OUR GREAT POSTERS! POSTERS LIKE THEGREYKING, DUCKFAT, and that OMGCHINGYOMG!!!GIRL!

Ghandi: *sobs* I love you Pug. You are so awesome.

Pug: I am sorry Ghadi. Come, let us play some chess on facebook.

So your wildest fantasies involve slapping me and then me crying and confessing my love for you?

I'm touched.


Also, fuck Chingy. And I don't even really remember him/her
