A Year of Blogging: July 27, 2011

July 27 was 'Take Your Pants for a Walk' Day. This conjures up images of people attaching a leash to their pants and walking them around the neighborhood. If your neighbors thought you were weird before.... But actually, it's a day to get exercise. The idea is you are supposed to be *wearing* your pants when you walk them. If you walk while you are wearing pants, you walk your pants. Shorts and capris also count. There is no record as to who created this day. The person no doubt wished to remain anonymous than face a life of looking over their shoulder for the guys with the white jackets. This just seems to be an absolutely silly day. I guess telling you to walk your pants is more interesting than saying 'go for a walk', but I think the people creating these days have too much time on their hands. And just a reminder- if your pants can walk without you, it's probably time to do laundry!
