Where Ass Meets Amtrak: Doo
Mon, July 13, 2009
Last Friday in Laguna Niguel, CA, 200 people assembled "along the chain link fence adjacent the train tracks, across the road from Mugs Away Saloon" to pull down their pants in honor of - wait for it - the 30th Annual Mooning of Amtrak (and 4th Annual Mooning of Metrolink, per moonamtrak.org).
As demonstrated by the photo at left (courtesy of Flickr user 'caveman92223' - though 'Jubala' deserves credit for writing "Nice set" over the bikini-ed girl's punching bags), the mooning was attended almost solely by white folks who probably gave up a raucous weekend on a houseboat in Lake Havasu (in addition to their dignity) to take part in this bullshit.
Indeed, the unofficial event website lends considerable insight into the mooners' intellectual caliber. Here are a few of the "Frequently Asked Questions":
1. Must I "moon", or can I just watch? No, You can watch.
2. Does It get hot here in July? (LL: This question doesn't even deserve an answer.)
. . . .
6. I'm obese, is it O.K. if I moon? Yes yes, please "moon" with us. We need people like you for the extra high intensity mooning you can provide.
7. Can I decorate my butt? Yes, that's O.K.
7. Can I decorate my butt? Yes, that's O.K.
8. What happens in the saloon? (LL: See previous comment.)
Citing a newly-enacted ordinance banning public drinking and public urination at the event, local law enforcement officials were proud to report that no drunks participated in this year's caged ham salute. (Yeah, right, and I'm Cyndi Lauper.)
Speaking of the cops: a couple of Laguna Niguel's finest turned up on brand-new scooters (see photo at right), thereby upping the day's asshole quotient by at least two.
