No Pants Sunday on the CTA

For all you exhibitionists....or peepers:
  • It's an annual tradition here in Chicago (and many other cities with subway systems): On one day each winter, hundreds of brave individuals gather on CTA platforms, remove their pants, step onto a train and act as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Tourists and travelers are confused, but most people are in on the joke and chuckle to themselves as groups of pantless participants go about their business.

    The 2015 edition of the No Pants Subway Ride begins on Sunday at noon, so expect to see some underwear if you decide to ride the Red Line.
So they're meeting somewhere up north near the Loyola campus and riding the Red Line to Roosevelt and back.

Roosevelt? Why not some of the brand new stations running south from there? The Red Line runs to 95th Street with all sorts of colorful stops in between. Of course, riding in your underwear limits the places to tuck your iDevices. We can't help but notice an entire segment of Chicago's population seems to be excluded from this "fun."

Ha ! I thought the very same thing when I heard they are only riding to Roosevelt. By the way, they're meeting at a parking garage at 1210 W. Arthur St. in Rogers Park at 11:55 A.M.

Consider it an unintended consequence of their natural aversion to any temperature under 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although Jesse Jackson has demanded they be grandfathered-in as honorary members since they're accustomed to walking around with their pants hanging off their asses on any given day.

Sounds like a bad recurring dream I used to have years ago; walking around outside without my pants on. Wasn't fun for me!

If some tourists happen to see the pantless individuals on the el train, they might think that taxes in Chicago are very high.

Actually a large segment of that excluded population have adopted some sort of clothing optional mantra as a daily ritual. No need to improve on that fun.

I heard that they may postpone this because of the weather.
In fact the registered sex offenders in line at at Hdqrs, (35th St.) signed an agreement petition.

It read, in part... "because it was sooo cold last week that when the weather drops below -5* and the kids are off of school, the exhibitionists merely had to 'describe' themselves."

You're Welcome.

Sex offender charged with assaulting 4-year-old girl on CTA bus

"A convicted sex offender who had just completed his required weekly registration with Chicago police boarded a CTA bus outside police headquarters and sexually assaulted a 4-year-old girl sitting with her mother, Cook County prosecutors said Friday.

"For you to do that on a CTA bus with the child's parent on that bus tells me you are in fact a danger to yourself and society," Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil said while ordering Judex Colon, 32, held without bail on a charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a victim under age 13. The Class X charges carries a sentence of 6 to 30 years in prison on conviction.

"Colon was convicted in 2008 of sexually abusing two girls while working as a carnival-ride operator in Indiana, prosecutors said.

"A police booking photo showed Colon, who was arrested Wednesday, wearing an orange T-shirt that read, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you."

"Prosecutors said that after registering at police headquarters Tuesday morning, Colon boarded a northbound CTA bus on Ashland Avenue. The mother entered the bus with her daughter and a son at a stop at Polk Street, prosecutors said.

"Colon, sitting next to the girl, fondled and assaulted her under her clothes, said Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Karr, calling the attack "brazen."

No collective responsibility. No such cohesive, recognizable group exists. You get anything and everything running around here.

You got that wrong. He's collecting the fares, then scooting.

Rahm says he is going to wash the skid mark out of his pink panties for this occasion. Next year he is going to bring in the Chicago Fire Festival organizers to turn it into a total fiasco.

Should be combined with "No balls Sunday," where ISP and CPD command have one L car reserve for them. You know the guys/gals who get their cuffs out only during the holidays so their nieces and nephews can play with them.
