Reminded me...Oh no--The unclosable crotch strikes!<br /><br />Reminded me of a passage from All My Friends are Going to be Strangers, where the hero's zipper ripped clean out of his suit on the day of a book signing for his first novel. He was the one who stated it as having an unclosable crotch. Of course, later his daughter was born (to a less than ideal ex), and he had to hit the hospital with his unclosable crotch as well. Really, some of the most climactic moments happened during the vigil of the unclosable crotch.<br /><br />lol<br /><br />Yes, I still recommend that novel to anyone who will listen. I regularly let people borrow it just to get the to read it so I have people to talk about the book to. :)eric1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13807078704660045859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-14737389376251391912011-09-12T23:11:58.830-05:002011-09-12T23:11:58.830-05:00Steve Malley, ;)
