Would you care to?

All of us are aware of the No Pants Subway Ride which is organized by ImprovEverywhere every year. Did anyone participate in this years event?

I would never have the guts to do so.. moreover I would be way too cold...

I thought that this was an April Fool's joke from ages ago! Was it real after all?

@ajadedidealist it was real enough for it was even covered by BBC world news yesterday. Seems it was the 10th anniversary of the event. I have never really witnessed the No Pants subway ride. Have any of you?

They do this every year! Can there still be a person in this city who is surprised when no pants day comes around again? I doubt I would look up from my newspaper.

I would never go in the subway with no pants on, especially in the winter. I'd be embarrassed and freeze my butt off.

There was a guy in a fast food place the other night with no pants on, saying it's National No Pants Day. All I could think was, Fool! We're in the middle of a January storm!

@Uraniumfish: Oh my word. I hope he had pants lying around in the back somewhere.

He did, and proceeded to put on his pants in the middle of the place. Really charming. I love when people subject me to their ridiculous behavior.

@Uraniumfish: Did he get disciplined for doing that stunt?

@Uraniumfish what an idiot!!

@hhusted The girl behind the counter told him she wouldn't serve him unless he put on some pants, but she was like a 17 year old kid and wasn't exactly ready to stand her ground.
