Well... you learn something new every day (http://www.tofugu.com/2010/01/11/ykk-japanese-zipper-company/). 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.

Pug, I'm starting to get little worried about you.

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.
-
Hahaha, I remember that OMGCHINGY chick... I kinda wish we had someone like that here just for the amusement.
-
I must have missed that one.

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
