WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET A THING DONE

It turns out that, in addition to being International Tuba Day, tomorrow is also No Pants Day.

(Thanks to many people)

No pants day is being undermined by the appearance of underpants. Is nothing sacred?

[John]

Scots have an advantage; they can switch to kilts.

[Boo Augustus]

Did you also hear that today is the final episode of "Friends?"

[Graz]

I'll try it, but I may get sent home from work early.

Hey, I might get sent home from work early. That's it. I'm doing it.

[Con]

Punky, I kind of enjoyed that look. Your 500 score is looking a little wobbly now. :)

[oneofthelargerterroristsonthenewstonight]

dave,

i stayed awake all night to see if i snored and i didn't.

[Con]

Sharon, I agree.

Speaking as tubist, pants are always optional. Beer is not. Or pizza.

[telcontar]

One way to ensure that you can't get a date for a very long time: celebrate tomorrow by playing the tuba in your boxers.

[lurker]

You don't need pants for a victory dance...

[Flash]

I wish they would schedule this later in the year, it's still kinda cold in Idaho!

[SMFTC]

If tomorrow is "No Pants Day," at my office, I am grateful that I can't see.

[Naosuke]

Scotts do not have the advatage, if you take a look at the rule kilts are also forbidden

[Meerkat]

Key quote:
People are encouraged to revel in the absence of pants.

[Rosella]

Think they'll be celebrating No Pants Day at the Miami Herald Office?

[Eykis]

'Wondering why the legislators did not pass a "No Pants Day" law in Tennessee today~I bet we could come to work tomorrow and the lawyers would not even notice that we didn't have on pants ~ you know, old buddy Clarence Thomas ruined all the office fun!

[Doug Brockmeier]

Wow. You wonder why people don't respect America...

I say let anyone do anything and let's see how the world works. I'm not a Republican; I'm a young person.

[Lmd33]

Flash, they still celebrate in Idaho, they just call it Numb Nuts Day.

[BMX3]

I guess I'll be celebrating Tuba Day.

[Psychocat]

Tomorrow is No Pants Day, and Saturday is the Poxy Boggards' "Bogfest" at Southern Faire...the Boggards have a song on their new album called "I Wear No Pants"....coincidence? I think not...

=^..^=

[Ryan]

I fear a bunch of trouserfree tuba players marching in the streets. I might have to stay in bed all day.

[Garret]

Time! Dad-gummit I need some time for this sort of thing.

Exfoliating, perhaps a light wax, a spray-on tan, DO I NEED TO GO ON?

[Some Guy]

I for one welcome our trouserfree tuba playing overlords.

[Jeff Meyerson]

How did I miss this?

"Dum Dum and the Smarties" are p[erforming? Isn't that the Secret Service code name for Bush & the Cabinet?

[Gregg]

This is just part of their continuing effort to make the world look like a year-round Doo Dah Parade.

[V-Square]

I looked around the site, and found a comment made by someone who said it should be called "No Trousers Day," as "pants" means "underwear" in Britain.
This reminds me of a friend who told me about a shopping experience in London. He went into a high-end mens' clothing store and said he was looking for suspenders for his pants. He was thrown out. Bodily.

[Kibby]

Maybe we should consider consolidating all the daily commemoration events ONE event. Like a "No Pants Tuba Day" NPTD. (Maybe too close to NYPD?)

Like Budweiser did a few years ago with sports? Combined hockey & figure skating, golf & full contact football. Just think of the possibilities.

What's on tap for Saturday? Of course Mothers' Day is scacred.

[mudstuffin]

Oom-pahpah oom-pahpah

WHEEEE!

[Garret]

"Doobadee Doo."

"I've got another puzzle for you."

(Sorry mudstuffin, couldn't resist.)

[mudstuffin]

As long as you're not wearing pants, apology accepted.

[Eykis]

What? Neither Dave nor Judi have an early morning post on a Friday, No Pants/Tuba Day? How am I ever going to do some work today?

[agent 66]

AT LAST! I can finally take the pants off my tuba!

[Garret]

Dave is so po-ed over this Adware thing that I picture him setting up a war room in his office. He and Judi have probably been up all night -- drinking coffee and plotting strategy to destroy Keith Smith the lying crapweasel.

Of course, Dave is wearing a silly military uniform complete with a large-plumed hat and insists on giving orders in a German accent.

[mudstuffin]

So long as he's not wearing pants.

[Jeff Meyerson]

It's here! Happy No Pants Day!

Morning all.

[mudstuffin]

Top 'o the morn to you sir. Enjoying the breeze are ye?

[steve]

In High School I used to practice my Sousaphone in a little glade in the park behind the comfort station. One time as I came around the corner after practicing I saw a crowd of about ten people staring concernedly at the comfort station door.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Maybe it's just no tuba in your pants day.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
And your mama can't stop me
And your papa can't stop me
And the police can't stop me
No one can stop me Gonna do it right now
Gonna do it right now
I'm gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
And your teachers can't stop me
And your priests can't stop me
And your firemen can't stop me
And the President can't stop me

Will you take off my pants?
Will you take off my pants?

Lyrics:Randy Newman

[mudstuffin]

Hand full uh worms and uh pole fishin'
Cork bobbin' like uh hot red bulb
'n uh blue jay squeaks
His beak open an inch above uh creek
Gone fishin' for a week
Well I put down my bush
'n I took of my pants 'n felt free
The breeze blowin' up me 'n up the canyon
Far as I could see
It's night now and the moon looks like uh dandelion
It's black now 'n the blackbird's feedin' on rice
'n his red wings look diamonds 'n lice
I can hear the mice toes scamperin'
Gophers rumblin' in pile crater rock hole
One red bean stuck in the bottom of uh tin bowl
Hot coffee from uh krimpt up can

Me 'n my girl named Bimbo Limbo Spam

Lyrics: Captain Beefheart

Did no one else notice the line "Tuba players obviously have hassles due to the size and weight of their instruments"???

I have that problem all the time!
What a relief to free it from the pants....

[Garret]

"My name is Robert Wright. I'm the president of NBC. I'm not wearing any pants!"

[Con]

Con. I never said that bikini underwear and stiletto heels was a bad thing ... just 86 the kneehighs. ;)

Thaaat's better :) Thanks for clarifying. The kneehighs could be used for... well, you know what. Think back to the quiz. :)

[p2k]

I knew a lot of tuba players in college. It makes perfect sense to me that International Tuba Day and No Pants Day are one in the same!

[barbi, with an "i", guinness]

Ahh, No Pants Day. A holiday which could only have been created in Austin. Sometimes I'm so proud of this city I get a little choked up.
