    I was all into it, too, until I read this little nugget on the No Pants Day site FAQ:

    "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 [emphasis mine], 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.That being said, it’s a holiday. No one owns it… not even us. Wear whatever you want. Throw a kilt party. Be the Santa Claus to our Nativity. Be our guest."

    Okay, I guess "Didn't you know it's No Pants Day?" is still a good answer to "what's with the kilt?" or even "the question."

    I can appreciate the humor of this, but truthfully, this event is more about the sexual side and the "shock value" of not wearing pants. I'll leave this to those craving attention and don't seem to have any better way of getting it than to drop trow.

    No offense Brandycr.

    This type of stunt is just something I gave years ago.
