Something called Take Your Pants off day was “celebrated” (according to one news report) by some Portlanders on Sunday. Some people go to church but still others drink beer, take off their pants and get on light rail to regale the populace with their bared cheeks and dangling participles.
Believe me, I like fun as much as the next guy, but if you’re going to do something you tell people is ‘all in good fun,’ please cut out the half thongs or lower your dreds to cover your bare cheeks. And, dude, if you’re going to put on some tighty whities please cover up with boxers. This was meant to be a ‘notice me, notice me’ event complete with an exhibition on public transportation for shock value. But some of you looked … creepy.
On a positive note, apparently you can drink beer on the Max train now. Maybe that will push up ridership numbers.
