Happy National No Pants Day

[Introversion]

https://nationaltoday.com/no-pants-day/

Sure, it’s a US holiday, but the rest of you should feel free to join in.

I thought my husband would be excited but he was not. Something about work.

 

[Maryn]

Harrumph. I wear skirts half the time anyway, and nobody but me knows what's under them.

I do, however, own an extremely difficult jigsaw puzzle of Scottish troops in formation. The image was taken on a breezy day; one soldier's kilt has been blown so high we know exactly what they wear under their kilts.

Wait, it’s not wool?

And they still made a puzzle out of it.

 

[Unimportant]

It's 50 degrees F in the house this morning. I'm wearing thermals, sweatshirt and sweatpants, woolen legwarmers, fluffy socks, slippers -- as many layers as I can cram on and still move. No pants-free option here!

I went shopping and saw, in the store's food court where they have pizza and salad bars and such, many high school students come in for lunch. One young lady was completely pantless and her tshirt barely covered it up.

Another 'day', another excuse for the stores to have 'sales' - why don't they just lower their prices and save a bundle on advertising and shuffling the merchandise around?

You can pry my National No Pants Day sales from my cold, dead hands.

Who came up with the brilliant idea to make no-pants day in May? Yeah, no. It's barely warm enough to ditch the hoodie.

Haha, it's the same way where I am. Plus today was super cold and rainy and damp...

However, once it gets to about seven in the evening, I ditch all acceptable clothing and lounge in my coffee-mug-patterned nighty and my dad's old hoodie. So I suppose I am currently -- albeit unintentionally -- participating in this brilliant holiday.

You people have no dedication to the cause.

You people have no dedication to the cause.

There's a bunch of traditionalist Scotsmen saying "Try it in the dead of winter, laddie!"

It's tradition. Of course they made a jigsaw out of it. How else will the rest of the world learn about the Tradition?

Even in freezing Scottish weather, tradition is tradition.


Okay it's now time for a little ditty: (by Andy Stewart)

I've just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I'm not very big and I'm awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where's your troosers?

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

A lassie took me to a ball
And it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I had nae on my troosers

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers?

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

To wear the kilt is my delight
It is not wrong I know it's right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in the trousers

Let 'em blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streetss, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

The lassies want me every one
Well, let them catch me if they can
You canna take the breaks
Of a Highland man
And I don't wear the trousers

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets, in my kilt I'll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where's your troosers?

I hit those sales hard. I bought all the no-pants yesterday.

'Amazing Race', the international TV travel competition? On a British leg a couple of seasons ago, it made all the contestants don kilts and learn the song, then perform it on stage!
It was a hoot, mon!

The same people that came up with Garden Naked Day on the 1st Saturday of May. For those not keeping up with the various days, that was yesterday or 05/04/2024.

Not that I did that. I do not have a garden, nor do I feel like going without clothes when snow is still on the ground!

....Who came up with the brilliant idea to make Garden Naked Day in May and on the same day as Star Wars day? Garden naked holding a lightsaber? Haha. I had a calendar of funny holidays as a child but Garden Naked Day takes the cake honestly.

 

[Joseph K]

Wait, I missed no pants day? Geez, I could have been official, for once.

 

[BustedPrinter]

I thought no pants day was every day of Covid?

 

[BustedPrinter]

I did NOT participate in no pants day, but kind of a funny story, because of where I work and the ultra-high voltages I work with, I have to wear arc flash rated clothing. At the end of the day it becomes "soft pants time", or when I switch from jeans to sweatpants which is what I lounge around the house in.
