ZIPPER POST TUESDAY BITCHES
The bulk of a zipper consists of two strips of fabric tape, each affixed to one of the two pieces to be joined, carrying tens or hundreds of specially shaped metal or plastic teeth. The slider, operated by hand, moves along the rows of teeth. Inside the slider is a Y-shaped channel that meshes together or separates the opposing rows of teeth, depending on the direction of its movement. The friction of the slider against the teeth causes a characteristic buzzing noise, which is probably the origin of the name zip(per). The name also may have originated in the greater speed with which the two sides of a zipper can be joined or separated, compared to the time needed for fastening or undoing laces or buttons.
Some zippers have two slides, allowing variation in the opening's size and position. In most jackets and similar garments, the opening is closed entirely when one slide is at each end. In most baggages, the opening is closed entirely when the two slides are next to each other at any point along the zipper.
Zippers may:
* increase the size of an opening to allow the passage of larger objects, as in the fly of trousers or in a pocket
* join or separate completely two ends or sides of a single garment, as in the front of a jacket
* attach or detach completely one separable part of the garment to or from another, as in the conversion between trousers and shorts
* decorate an item.
A zipper costs very little, but if it fails, the garment may be unusable until the zipper is repaired or replaced. Problems often lie with the zipper slider, which may have bent upwards due to wear. If so, it can be easily repaired by pushing the slider downwards.

The zipper is also a ride that makes me want to upchuck.

hey bob lobla. seriously, my remark was not in retaliation. i have never and will never stoop to such levels. you are forgiven for assuming so, having seen how common this kind of thing is on this site. i just really think that zipper post whatever is not a good idea. spt was enough. if this was posted on thursday then i would have +2'd it.

That zipper ride looks insane.
-----------------
It sucks, but I hate rides.
I had a bad experience of those swings that spin in a circle once, they got stuck on and I was on there for like 20 mins. Ever since then I have gotten queasy on rides that spin :(
