Zipper
Velcro Zipper
- guys - getting your thingy stuck in there is sort of hard. you probably have to do it on purpose.

- cool sound effect when opening it. shhhhrrrrrrttttttt. Can be used as a make shift sound effect when you're pretending to rip your pants as you bend over. XvsY rule #48 - hilarity ensues if this trick is performed in front of a 3 yr. old.

- can replace laces on a sneaker. Velcro sneakers are cool and functional. You can "tie" your shoes without the use of hands if you needed.

February 28, 1984 - GREATNESS
Dave Wears A Velcro Suit

- is a brand name of fabric hook-and-loop fasteners and a registered trademark in most countries. Their headquarters are in Manchester, New Hamphshire

- invented in 1945 by swiss enginner, George de Mestral. He named it Velcro after the French words velours, meaning 'velvet', and crochet, or 'hook'.

- maintenance free. you won't find yourself taking your velcro to the shop anytime soon.

- strength is determined by surface area. same is true with XvsY

- can be used in a bathing suit...can get wet. hey now.

- with creativity can be used in most anything that needs fastening - wrist watch, hanging something on the wall, on your cat. Yo, check out this magnified pic of velcro:


- anywhere a bond is needed, a velcro can be placed and used. Holy crap i just came up with a new cartoon idea...gotta go.
- guys - getting your thingy stuck in there could be the worst thought ever. is it the franks or the beans? Ladies, remember, the guy's thingy can can get caught in there, so please, even in the heat of passion, use sensitivity and caution.

- security and protection. if you zip up, in most cases, it won't open up. Once, I got caught in my jacket, and sincerely couldn't open the zipper. After much struggle, it opened...for a while i thought i'd need to cut my way out.

- that being said, sometimes, gravity happens, and the zipper slowly opens. Most often in your "fly" zone area, especially when you are in front of a lot of people and no one wants to say anything...sometimes this happens to XvsY for full days without noticing.

- sometimes zippers are used as fashion accessories as well.

- the worst is when the zipper clasp thing opens, or moves up on the zipper and you have to force it down and basically are f%cked. i don't know if there is a word for this but i'll call it zipperf%cked.

- is a popular device for temporarily joining two edges of fabric. It is used in clothing (e.g. jackets and jeans), luggage and other bags, sporting goods, camping gear (e.g., tents and sleeping bags), and other textiles and is often used in the cartoon world on a character's mouth


- each zipper carries tens or hundreds of specially shaped metal or plastic teeth. These teeth can be either individual or shaped from a continuous coil

- An early device superficially similar to the zipper, "an Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure", was patented in the United States by Elias Howe in 1851

- not good if it got wet, rust.

- many options - can be metallic, plastic, open ended (2 sides of the zipper can be locked into place), close ended (closed at both ends)

Nothing will ever beat the feeling of awesomeness I had that first time I got those sneakers with velcro instead of laces. NOTHING. Except the final season of BSG.

Velcro was not invented by the French. It was reverse engineered from alien technology found at the Roswell crash site.

I think that Michael Jackson jacket was the same one Lora Pinto wore every day in the 6th grade.

XVSY 4/02/08 12:46 PM

hahah. you are correct bootywhiteman! please note, i also watched Lora Pinto once accidentally kick david abrutyn in the nuts during a soccer game on the upper playground. he was down for so long, and cried. it really was the first time i realized the power of a solid kick to the nuts. for real...i felt his pain.

bigslizz, when that zipper tore up your 4yr old wee wee, is that the day you started being a girl? however, i have to agree with you on this one. velcro. i sometimes use one side of the velcro to wax my butthole, aka my face. hal5000 should just zipper his mouth/disk drive/speaker (whatever it is) shut.

In school we used to play outdoor paintball a lot. One week it was raining so no one was there so our team took on the owners of the field. Obviously we were getting our asses kicked but I had a great Velcro moment. Their lead guy, a real survival wannabee dude had all his extra pinball clips on his waist held on by Velcro. We were having a pretty close range firefight through a bunch of pine trees when I heard that magic sound... SHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTT. He was outta ammo. I came running around the tree screaming my best death yell and scared the crap out of him. I remember unused paintballs flying everywhere as he turned to take cover. I shot him in the back.

i think it should be zipper vs button fly if we are talking jeans or jackets. Velcro on a pant fly just doesn't work. but the velcro back to the future sneakers were the shit http://www.flickr.com/photos/84196089@N00/523567021/

Yes, that is a future contest for sure - zipper vs. buttonfly. this contest was today because i found it on an old yellow stick it and thought it needed some love.

Giving Velcro to buttholio is like watching a Human child play with an electron microscope or a nuclear reactor.

Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. It is a good thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland 14 inch boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange.
