10,000 Expected to Moon Amtrak
Monday May 4, 2009
Let's Move Amtrak
Does pulling down your pants and going loco in front of a locomotive sound like fun to you?
A crowd of 10,000 is exptect to be dropping trou in Laguna Niguel as the California town celebrates the 30th anniversary of the "Mooning of Amtrak."
This tradition started at the Mugs Away Saloon as an alternative to darts, quarters and other lame bar games. And now, every year, on the second Saturday in July, revelers gather before a chain link fence, and pull down their pants as the train passes.
Unfortunately, local officials threatened to call off what some call, "Orange County's Mardi Gras" after some local residents complained of public drunkenness.
After a bit of negotiations, however, the city council has relented. The event will go forward, but with new rules: No more public consumption of alcohol and no more urinating outdoors.
Strangely, no one complained about the bare butts, not even the folks riding the trains. It seems some Amtrak riders even moon back.

OMG... This is so funny!
(Although I do take issue with darts being called a lame bar game)...
Mark your calendars- 2nd 'SAT'urday in July!

Wonders if there really IS a full moon that day?
