There is something about Democracy that unleashes a liberal
circus in some folks. Democracy, for me, unleashes the sting of my tongue and
the art of reporting on some of the most bizarre and obtuse things I encounter.
For example...I could
Barely Blink today
(January 13, 2013) when I noticed random groups of folks bearing their
underwears in the 50-degree, misty, grey winter weather—all in the name of the
12th Annual No Pants Subway Ride Day.
I must have missed the memo on this No Pants Day, or I would
have been clad in a pair of my Calvin Klein boxer-briefs
bearing all of my big, bulging, business. Instead, I stood, dissatisfied when I
approached the apparent ring-leader of one of the Pants-less groups and asked, “What's
this masquerade for?”
“Ahhh...No Pants Day,” he responded.
“Yeah? What the fuck is that?” I delved.
“Ahhh...” the duffus paused.
“It's an annual event staged by an Improv,” his wimpy
partner-in-stupidity interjected.
“It
was started by these seven guys a few years ago and now grown into an
international celebration of silliness,” He concluded. I opted to ponder his
rehearsed delivery, since his ring-leading buddy was stomped for speech.
Ha! The things folks do for attention, which includes arrest
and jail time, of which I am certain will result for most of those Pants-less
idiots at the end of the day.
