evidently we’ve raised an exhibitionist

Yesterday was No Pants 2009.

What does that mean? It means across the planet crazy people participated in an international prank to go out in public without wearing their pants (trousers). Hmmm. The idea was to go on the city’s subways or mass transit at a designated time, pantsless. Should anyone inquire about their [lack of] attire, participants are instructed to respond, “Oh, I forgot to put them on.”

Yes, I see how that could be a plausible response. I’ve left the house in my slippers; forgotten to brush my hair; left my wallet….but somehow I’ve always remembered to wear my pants! It’s wonderful to be a carefree college student. (okay…let me be honest…I would have done it, too—back in the day).

Evidently they were accosted by a woman pointing out that they are not in the Garden of Eden. Good point! At least Adam and Eve had the decency to wear fig leaves! Repent! The looks and comments must have been fabulous.

So here’s the evidence.

And in case you still think this is a questionable activity, first, you are a fuddy duddy, and second, you should definitely check out the other performance pranks that Improv Everywhere does. My two favorites are the Frozen Grand Central Station and the Food Court Musical.

my nanowrimo widget doesn’t update well

Alas, one must be patient until the web traffic slows down some. If you’re new to the blog, you can read my work in progress in the NaNoWriMo tab. I’ve already taken down the first day’s entry, and will replace day 2 this afternoon, so if you’re interested in following my progress, check in daily!

Meanwhile, my word count is 4003 –so I better get back to work.

today’s astounding google search term

“hillary clinton is a dude”

No kidding. Somehow, someone searched for that term and landed here. Welcome. While I can’t claim that we share a similar opinion of the senator, it’s pretty close.

Random weirdness…exactly how I like it!

So a few days ago I posted about how odd that I’m getting a lot of traffic for Hillary Clinton google searches. If I could include sounds effects here, I’d cue the sound of a record player scratching and stopping. Let’s just say, there’s no love lost between me and the Clintons. So, I was left pondering.

Then I thought that maybe I could entertain myself with just posting random things in my tags. It amused me, but it didn’t generate any more google seaches. Meanwhile, according to the site statistics, I’ve had a couple of hundred visitors looking for the senator from New York.

Tonight I literally choked on my coffee when I read the comment from Luis. He suggested “Nephilim skeletons.”

Ha! He’s brilliant. That, and when he actually posted about such a thing he must have had all kinds of weirdness pop up.

OK, Luis. I’m game. Let’s see what happens: nephilim skeletons! nephilim skeletons! nephilim skeletons! The worst thing that could happen is that Beetlejuice shows up.
