Salute Your Shorts, It's No Pants Day!
It looks like we dropped the ball on this one, as it's officially No Pants Day.
A "Pantsless Protest" was staged in front of the Capitol at 8am this morning, and a day-long rally will take place on the West Mall of UT campus.
"No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind," reads the official website. "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."
