It's May 1st and the first Friday in May which means, it's No Pants Day. I actually forgot about it and mistakenly wore pants to work today, well I'm contractually bound to wear pants at work so I guess I made the right choice.
Are you planning to participate? Are you wearing pants right now? The day is big at the University of Texas in Austin and Boise is becoming a force in the no pants celebrations.
So far, there are 6,877 known participants in the Facebook group so if you're feeling funky (and can run fast), take those pants off America.

I love the idea of No Pants Day! Too bad it wasn't a Saturday (or I guess I could have worn a skirt instead...) but just one correction to the birthdays: - 1974 - Darius McCrary, Full House Should be - 1974 - Darius McCrary, Family Matters. He played Eddie. (Full House wasn't the most, um, diverse of sitcoms so I looked it up after sorta recognizing the name...)

Thanks for pointing out the Darius/Eddie info. Not sure why I typed Full House because I was thinking Family Matters. I guess my brain was on Steve Urkel but my fingers were Danny Tanner all the way.
