I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
Three in the morning come-a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talkin' to you
'Less you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

Look at the shakies
What's with the blush?
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die but old isn't great

In my high school days, I had a theory my peter was principle. The theory was roundly refuted by just about every girl I knew. I was left with the realization it did rise to its own level of incompetence. Better than not rising to its own impotence, I guess. I put a zipper on the theory for a long while. It made me crotchety, but I had too many balls in the air at the time. Something had to give. It just wasn't going to be any of my girlfriends.

In reply to this comment by rottenseed:
snoozedoctor...your peter principle is flawed. You can always move up multiple levels past your competency in a hierarchy as long as your competencies in bullshit and delegation are strong. That theory also breaks down when it meets with what is known as the "puppet principle". A role that Bush has fulfilled and very sufficiently, at that.

I'd say that's definitely entitled to a *wtf. This also reminds me a bit of Steve Martin's "Great Flydini" routine.

that wasnt intetional, thats a classic "zipper effect"
the problem is when you take a fall you run the risk of zippering, the tension the rope puts on the protection devices makes them pull in ways the climber did not expect and thus causes them to pull from the rock, once one pulls, it creates that much more impact on the device below making it fail..the effect duplicates until it either stops pulling protections..or you hit the ground.
Osman was VVERY lucky a device finally caught him. If you watch the video you can see in the rope the many little devices in the rope as they get pulled from the rock, they look like little danglingly thing on the rope...those are the cams he put it as they pull ouut of the rock.... he was crapping himself for sure.
Ive never had this happen thank god...id probably scream like a little girl all the way down.

New Rule: Don't bother locking the zipper on your luggage. Locking a zipper is like locking a screen door; it's only going to keep courteous criminals out.

This video is too original and too good for MTV. Does anyone else remember the good ol' days of MTV when they used to actually play music videos? Yeah, those were the days.

Wow, an informative little clip on Salvia.
I have a quite lot of experience with Salvia, done it upwards of thirty times. Sagewisdom is one of the best sites to learn more about this drug, with many tips also for people who don't want to smoke it and try the oral route instead.
Salvia has a scale of effects, from light stoney feeling all the way up to complete egoloss or retrograde amnesia in the highest dose. For many people it takes a few tries to really break through. And for many users it is not a particularly pleasant trip, mostly neutral and very weird. Some people can have really bad experiences and that's why a sitter should be present for first time use. The good thing is it will only last a few minutes, though it can seem like forever if you are under the effects of Salvia.
On Erowid (one of the most informative sites on ALL drugs) you can read many experience reports on Salvia.

The Salvia experience for me is like entering a fractal space. First it will feel like an artificial gravity that is pulling me in some direction, then my mind separates from my body and inflates. At this stage I've usually lost the concept of me and reality. I enter a multidimensional space that encompasses countless sentients. When I go there it feels like I'm part of huge zipper that's unzipping where every teeth is a sentient. After so many teeth it will come along a bigger tooth like a bigger element of a fractal where the smaller repetitions form along. This goes on ad infinitum like a fractal.
On a really high dose I separated from the 'normal' Salvia space. I felt these entities observing me and I could 'see' them. They felt like my parents, but it was like they were my parents but not parents I've ever known. Like gods or something. It also felt that if I stayed in this place I would stay there and have to leave my other life behind me. Like an afterlife. This did freak me out a lot and I got scared, then the trip quickly winded down.
On coming back I often have this feeling of being miles wide and slowly integrating back into my body.
This is the best I can explain it, but it's hard for me to even comprehend it. The experience is kind of like a dream where once you are back you have a hard time to remember how it all went. I think you just can't understand what went on in a sober state. Only when using Salvia again I have this feeling like aha, that's how it was.
Haven't used Salvia in a long time. But I might give it a go again in the future. I'm still very curious. When I do it again I'll probably start with light doses again and see where they take me.

I'm still an atheist btw

and towards broadcasting singleness... not everybody follows the same subtle rules.

How about this... everyone who is single don't zip up anything, just buttons them. Pants, some dresses, backpacks, purses, wallets, ... zip up the least you can. And wear/carry a lot of things that use zippers. That'll mean you're single.

How Cheney took control of Bush's foreign policy

The new veep installed crony Don Rumsfeld as secretary of defense, and would've won Paul Wolfowitz the top post at CIA -- if not for Wolfowitz's zipper problem.

gorgonheap, took the geek channel a while back, or created it, or something, I have never been there until today-fact of the matter is, I haven't been to my channel since I was coerced by another sifter, who chimed in here, but was too comfy in the fraidy-hole (and lifting the finger off the one on the bong), to come out and play-
I never understood, how geeks learned to relish in their enigmatic square-ness, instead of learning some practical skills-Like how to use a zipper, which fork to scratch with, etc., and none so more adept daily, than this one with the furries/PBS fettish.
This kid loves to make up for all the wedgies in gym class, when there is someone self-linking here, he ripps virtual asshole, like its going out of style, or at least not available to him, while behind closed bed-room door (mom's house), with his pals on Second Life. Oh wait. Sorry. Your a man. TeamFortress2, future sociopaths of America training camp.

Did I miss anybody??? Ahhhh...the mistress of ceremony, opera-glass Sheila, the resident queen of dead blogs, second only to ladybug, in her care for things birthed, and left to fend.(damn...can't find it now, it has a lovely picture of her in her raincoat, and her ass is not as fat as she wants y'all t'believe either......she is, in fact, the stick-figure opposite, which is perhaps why high winds, and disasters that come with getting blown away, excite her. I dunno, a weather blog, is excitement squared, and all the interesting folks DO seem to always be talking about the weather.
Rock and Roll will never die, but it will always insure, that she is in the #1 spot on the Videosift, like the only pimp at a hooker's convention, her job is waaaayyyyy to easy!

This was a real shebang folks, hope y'all all learned something from this experiment......karaidl, you have my vote for the saves, although we really should have developed more a symbiotic, double-team....I am simply not in your league, young goodman braun.

It gives it away the same way seeing the zippers on the godzilla suit gives it away. Even though everybody knows it's a guy in a suit, ya still don't wanna show the audience the zippers.

Maybe it is nothing, but as the wheel is spinning you can see the open zipper of his sweater moving slightly, and it looks to me like he is breathing normally. He could be swaying back and forth to make it look like he is breathing.

The squirrel Nut Zippers have also just gotten back together and are starting to tour again!
