Loyal reader White Lightnin’ suggests someone in Asheville organize a no-pants ride event for Asheville’s bus system just like the big event held each year in New York City.

I think it’s a great idea. What better way to make people aware of our local mass transit system than to get a bunch of cold butts on cold seats. The big day is Jan. 10, so it may be a little late to get something together for this year. But next year?

Since one of new Asheville City Councilman Gordon Smith’s big issues was multi-modal transportation, I think I’m going to talk with him about getting this set up for next year. Meantime, if you just wanna take your pants off and ride a city bus, take a pic and send it to me.

Here’s more info on cities that are holding no-pants subway rides from Improv Everywhere. On Twitter, tag it #nopants.

No most buses don’t run on Sunday; by the way the buses I’ve ridden haven’t been dirty (albeit not sparkling clean either).

Im from this Area, and I can trace my Heritage back hundreds of years, I say area because the sun does not rise nor set in down town Asheville. Truth hurts when someone says something about the most overrated place on earth.

If you guys hate Asheville so much, why do you continuously stick around?
Why not find something better to do with your time than to just spout trash about your home??

"Or maybe Asheville could come up with something original, rather than imitating a New York event."

Asheville will never be original, all this town knows how to do is latch on every dad that comes along.

Ok, getting on one of our city busses with no pants will cause this to happen:

1. Groped by Transients posing as homeless to stay warm on a bus.

2. Get stuck to a bus seat covered in spilt malt liquor.

3. Sit on a used hypodermic needle.

4. Johns keep asking what they get for $20….
