Is this really that much fun?

i did this last year for the first time, and it really was amazing! so funny and quite a thrill.
at the end 125 st. station turned into a no pants dance party on the subway platform, with a subway musician going off on his drum set.
but I am not sure if it will be as much of a thrill the second time around...

this is a mockery of all the unfortunate people in the world who can't afford to wear pants. riding the subway with no pants is a bourgeois luxury!

I miss smoking joints and pissing in between the cars of the old trains. Now they get you welded in like a fucking sardine.

Jerry: She said there's some tractor story that she hasn't told me about.
George: Woah, back it up, back it up. Beep, beep, beep. Tractor story?

funny, but completely unsanitary. you might want to consider swabbing with rubbing alcohol before bare-assing a bench where some homeless guy peed himself last night.

that pic is of the guy who started improv everywhere and the no pants subway ride. funny stuff.

improv everywhere is amazing. i would never ride the subway with no pants on by the way. not after seeing what homeless people do to those seats.
Posted by Mandy | January 10, 2008 4:24 PM
This is so lame I can't even believe it. Seriously. Attention-starved idiots.
"Hey, look at me, all eyes on me...I'm not wearing pants! Isn't that fucking awesome?! I'm fucking awesome!"

it's funny until some horny maniac rapes you in front of the no pants crowd. it won't be at bad as the puerto rican say parade

what does this no pants subway ride prove? nothing, so wear pants. just because a small minority goes out one day and decides to not wear pants, doesnt mean you have to also. people are annoying. and dancing on the subway platform in harlem is quite a kneeslapper might i add. what do you do, not wear pants for a ride to somewhere? or nowhere? do you have to have a destination of some sort? and does it end at the stroke of midnight, where you must wear pants? people areee stupoptididsfsdfsffsdfrqee. i'm joining in. does this also apply for the lirr. "oh MAN, THAT BLOGGER IS FROM LONG ISLAND. SO NOT COOL MAN"

if you don't not wear pants on the subway, you're letting the terrorists win.

What time does Daft Punk not wear their pants on the subway?

some guy (I could have sworn he was wearing an MTA vest) peed in his pants on the Jay St A/C/F platform yesterday. It was not an accident - he happily announced to shocked onlookers that the liquid dribbling into a puddle was indeed pee. I suppose there is something vaguely funny about this no pants ride, but really, if you think about it, it's kind of gross. Why not a no-pants march in the park or something?

I love improv everywhere, but things like no pants are getting a little old. They need to step it up!

Hey guys! Let's start a theater groupe! In the meantime, wouldn't be so weird and random to ride the subway without pants? OMG!

I'm the girl in that picture. Not the little girl, the girl with no pants.

No bra, too! A court in NY ruled quite some time ago that women may expose their breasts in public.

It was fun, but not the best thing to do @ the height of sat. night traffic. I really didn't like getting hit on by guidoes....still a great laugh

If God wanted us to go pantsless, he wouldn't have...oh never mind...
What would Jesus do...did they have Seven jeans back then?
