Guess What Everybdy!?!
No Pants Day is here again! Yes that's right kiddos!
1. What in the world is No Pants Day?
No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students,
respectable
businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind.
Usually
this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but
bloomers,
slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.
2. That's it?
Yeah, that's it. But from the core idea comes so much more. When
large
groups of people parade around in public without their pants, amazing
things are
bound to happen. At the very least, you'll take your drab, wretched
life a
little less seriously, at least for one day.
3. When is it?
No Pants Day is always on the first Friday of May, which this
year is May
the 6th, 2005.
4. So I can wear a skirt instead? or "Hey, no problem, I was gonna
wear a
dress anyways!"
You're very clever, but you're missing the point. Articles of
clothing
like skirts, shorts, kilts, and dresses don't count, because people are
encouraged to revel in the absence of pants, and not replace pants with
other
clothing. The point is to relax and enjoy the humor inherent in people
not
wearing pants. A good rule of thumb is to pretend like you were going
to wear
pants, and then just fail to put them on.
5. I know of or am hosting a No Pants Day event. Can I get it
listed here?
YES. Please send an e-mail right away to info@nopantsday.com,
and we'll
post a news item detailing your event. The same is true for anyone
hosting their
own No Pants Day website.
6. I want to record a No Pants Day song! Can I?
Of course, and we'll be glad to host it here and give out all
your
relevent contact information. Also, we'll eventually be making a No
Pants Day
audio CD, so your work could be on that, too. Again, send e-mail to
info@nopantsday.com
7. How long has this been going on?
No one knows for sure how long No Pants Day has been
celebrated... some
reports place it as early as '85/'86, but for all we know it started
long before
then. We've been actively promoting No Pants Day for 5 years now,
ourselves. If
anyone has any concrete evidence or tales of earlier celebrations,
please let us
know at info@nopantsday.com.
8. Is this a joke?
In the same way that all of life is a joke, yes. But no. We're
not trying
to scam anyone, or satirize anything. We're simply advocating a
fun-filled
holiday, and the more people who participate the more fun it is.
9. What's this Knighthood of BUH thing that keeps cropping up?
That's a complicated question to answer, but in short we're the
folks
behind this website. We're a national, government approved non-profit
humor-oriented organization that finds unique and exceptional people,
and lets
them do the crazy and unorthodox things that they would never get to do
otherwise. We are a collection of individuals, we are a collection of
chapters,
and we are a collection of media production groups. We provide the
opportunity
for people to break social norms as well as lighten up a world that
seems to
have a habit of taking itself a little too seriously. We do not "own"
No Pants
Day, we're just currently (to our knowledge) the most vocal advocates
of it.
10. Did you know that in Britain "pants" means underwear? Shouldn't
it be No
Trousers Day instead?
Hmmm.. this holiday could be extremely interesting in Britain,
then. But
seriously, No Pants Day just sounds catchier, doesn't it? And besides,
this
gives British people something to mention when you bring up the holiday
around
them. They laugh and say, "In Britain, 'pants' means...." etc, etc, and
they
feel good for being the center of attention. So bully for them!
Wahoo!!
