Train-mooning draws smaller, calmer crowd

[obeygiant]

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - The pants were down but so was the size of the crowd for a bizarre ritual in Southern California.

It's the annual "Moon Over Amtrak" event in the Orange County community of Laguna Niguel in which people line up to moon passing commuter trains.

It began as a bar bet in 1979 and has continued ever since.

I'm trying to keep the cracks to a minimum. 😀

Whacka, whacka, whacka........

The last one got totally out of hand and the PO came down like a ton of bricks. The low turn out is due to last year's debacle. Too bad a handful of jerks ruined a fun (& stupid) local tradition.

Nutty...who would do that? And I just love the article title "calmer" people pulling their pants down...lol

They actually had a short video segment on the local news the other night. Kinda funny, the trains rolling by blowing their horns, the people dropping their pants and waving to the train. People are strange!

Its all fun and games until someone sues the state because their young children's minds were corrupted upon looking out the window of their seat. 🙄

The video reel on the news showed a line of like 20 people - that's one big letdown in numbers.

My family vacation is ruined now! We were all lined up to take the kids to moon a train.
