Friends, New Yorkers, Lend Me Your Pants
By Wyatt Earp | January 10, 2012
Sunday was the one day of the year you actually want to ride the NYC Subway.
Who needs pants anyway? Clearly thousands were asking that question on Sunday. It was the 11th annual No Pants Subway Ride and, according to the group’s website, all you had to do to take part was ‘be willing to take pants off on subway’ and ‘be able to keep a straight face about it.’
Participants are asked just to act like they would on any other subway by chatting to each other, using their iPod or reading. The idea was to put together groups to pull off pranks and get laughs. This year the group invited people to take part through Facebook, with more than 6,300 people accepting.
Hopefully, the participants went straight home and scrubbed their exposed skin with bleach and a case of Brillo pads.

I’ve seen what goes on those seats. Take my pants off? I’d go MOPP 4

@richard mcenroe: I notice most of them seem to be standing.

John D – It’s Lois Vain.
Rodney – Batman is my new favorite superhero.
Richard – When we took the kids to their first Yankees game this year, we stood and held the rail. Slightly less germ-filled than the seats.

What if you don’t wear underwear? Inquiring minds want to know.

Rodney,
The woman wearing the “Occupy” shorts can “Occupy” my face anytime!

Jon – Then the car smells like tuna and shame.
Rodney – Nice!

Wyatt:
Bleach & brillo-pads…HELL!!!
Given the NYC subways (That I trabelled many times in decades past)…I’d opt for a coarse SAND-BLASTING…!
(and then the bleach and brillo-pads)
Stay safe (and grime-free) out there.
