And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat knows not of the zipless fuck? Clearly your parents never left Fear of Flying lying about in a place where you could read it.

Are you ready to be strong?

I know it's from Fear of Flying and I know it's by Erica Jong, but I don't know what it is, either.

No, Burrell. My parents were more likely to read books with the throbbing manhood of trashy romances (mom) or murder mysteries (dad).

Whew. I can sit with Rio in the Don't Know It corner.

Hi RIO!

If I only had a brain...

It's sex that requires no effort; somebody hot shows up, you have sex, you go your separate ways.

Jong, of course, puts it in a quite spicy scene in which a young Italian widow has it off with a guy on a train.

HI KAT!

I don't get why it's called "zipless," though. What does zip mean in this context?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I read Fear of Flying and I'm having trouble coming up with a definition, myself.

Henh, Rio asked what I wanted know.

I still don't get it.

Well, my memory is vague (having read the book when I still coated anything having to do with sex in the gauzy haze of complete and utter inexperience), but it's basically an anonymous quickie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In that you don't even need to go through the effort of unzipping things....

eta: In an idealized sense... as if you don't have to stop to unzip stuff....
