Some Knowledge

I just found the most idiotic thing online.  Today, May 2, 2008, the first Friday in May, is supposed to be no pants day.  It seems this stupid holiday was started by some college students at the University of Austin in Texas.  A group called the Knighthood of BUH is supposed to have come up with the idea.  No pants day even has a website (of course) and from the comments I read there, it seems a lot of people are in favor of this nonsense.

I’ve seen some pretty strange things in my life.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen groups of people walking around in public in their underpants.  The very idea of this is just surreal.  I would be afraid of getting a ticket or something for walking around in my underwear.  I would not feel comfortable out in public in just underpants.  It’s like a very common nightmare.  You’re out in public, and suddenly realize you are not wearing your clothes.

Whoever came up with this idea must have been drinking.  I know, people will do any kind of stupid thing if it is culturally approved.  I only hope this idea does not catch on.  I don not want to see thousands of people walking around outside in their underwear.  People wear clothes for a reason.  It’s fashionable.  Walking around in your underwear like you forgot how to put on your clothes is not a great statement of social rebellion.  It’s just some idiots who think they can get people to take off their clothes because they declare it is the holiday for walking around in your underwear.  If you fall for this lunacy and forget to wear pants today, the joke is on you.
