Ahhh, Only in New York City

I'll be the first to tell ya how much i hate new york city, but it can indeed be very entertaining, as witnessed by these two articles below:
N.Y. C.'s COSTUMED, yes costumed, Super Heroes
Gotham's legion of real-life superheroes includes a leather-clad martial-arts expert who battles drug dealers, a masked religious hipster who feeds the homeless and an engaged pair of relationship counselors, who don star-spangled spandex as the "Transformational Warriors" to spread the power of love..
"Dark Guardian," strikes fear in the hearts of drug peddlers in Washington Square Park. "The idea is to be this drastic example of making change in your community."The Staten Islander has been patrolling city streets for the last seven years.
Occasionally, Dark Guardian gets an assist from two fellow superheroes,
 "Life" Lazaros, 25, and Ben Goldman, 23, a k a
"Cameraman,"The plucky pair also hands out food to the city's homeless at least once a week.Lazaros, said it takes a certain type to don a mask and do good. "They all have extremely strong personalities and a desire to change the world," he said.

"The Phantom Zero," a 33-year northern New Jersey-based superhero, raises money for charities and donates to the homeless. He has also accompanied Dark Guardian on some of his patrols. "I was scared out of my gourd," The Phantom Zero said, declining to give his real name.

"Nyx,"  his 20-year-old masked sweetheart, has shown some gumption. Before moving to New Jersey to be with her super man, she lived in Kansas, where she would secretly snap shots of meth labs and send them to the authorities.

The 9th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride
 Yup, no explanation really necessary, just like the headline reads, men & women ride the subway with no pants on, on this "special" day.
This is not just a nyc event. Here is a  list of cities who participated last year.   good idea to check it out because i have found these are generally places you would NOT wanna live in, especially at nite, NOT because of this event, but simply because, its an indication of other things that may take place rather routinely.  OK call me a Moral conservative. You would be wrong, very wrong though. For me Its much more of a "crime" thing. You see, places like where this occurs, i would assume have also a higher crime rate. Again NOT related to this event at all, just a general  laissez-faire attitude.
the history of The No Pants Subway Ride. here,  but who cares right.
More entertainingly tho the video can be found here
Oh yeah, you can RSVP on Facebook.   Become a fan and save the date for next year
