The No Pants Subway Ride - in pictures

The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event staged across major cities around the world each January. It does what it says on the tin: you ride the Subway or Metro or Tube or U-Bahn without trousers or a skirt. The now global madcap event started in New York in 2002. No one knows where it will finish.

After the crabs, they didn't stop?

The 13th annual No Pants Subway Ride is set to kick off (all the pants) at 3 p.m. this afternoon. Which means today is a very good day for anti-pants activists, as well as people who are into acquiring communicable diseases from germ-ridden cesspools.

I don't see any tall guys there. I do see a bald Indian fella though. Wait, TI is bald and young? I thought he was old and gray.

Thank goodness TI has a sense of humor

Went on the subway yesterday specifically to see it. Found nothing wrong. The girls ( except for a few) found the best pair of their daintiest undies and wore them. Men were also au fait with their fashion sense. Did not bother me as much as a woman totally covered and without identity in a burka. The only anomaly here to me was why do this on a cold January morning!

I guess your mind is with the crabs...much of our tribal peoples ( and we all are) from India to Russia to South America to Africa all took the time to wear clothes only as was functional.
