On Saturday, over three hundred Torontonians dropped their trousers on the TTC as part of the second annual No-Pants Subway Ride—an event organized by Improv in Toronto, the volunteer prank group behind Finish Line Marathon, Subway Dance Party, Dinosaur Protest, and Where's Waldo in the Eaton Centre. The event began at Queen’s Park at 3 p.m., as hundreds of cold Torontonians huddled around awaiting instructions. The original plan was to board at Museum Station, but scouts reported that TTC constables were out in full force, so the event was diverted to Queen's Park Station, and from there the group travelled south around to Eglinton Station, then back again. The objective was simple: remove your pants and act casual—you don’t know any of the other pants-less individuals, and they don’t know you. (Still confused? Then check out this YouTube clip of the trouser-less mayhem.)

IMPROV: Improv Everywhere and Improv in Toronto invite everyone to take their pants off on the subway, so long as they can keep a straight face about it. The rules for this year's No Pants Subway Ride mission are pretty specific, so have a look at the Facebook event. It's too bad the event takes place during one of the coldest stretches we’ve had so far this year; on the other hand, the cold may inspire the most determined partici(no)pants. Queen’s Park, at the statue of Edward VII on horseback, 3 p.m., FREE.
