Apparently for the past 30 years there has been a mooning ritual that takes place beyond the Orange Curtain, in Laguna Niguel. Some drunk dared another drunk to moon the passing train outside the saloon, and drunk #2 took drunk #1 up on the offer. Thirty years later and 10,000 people do it every year.
I'll admit, it kind of warms my heart a little that people in Orange County actually loosen up a bit and show some butt cheeks to strangers. I guess I'm just sad I'm not there, and that I found out about this today via an international news source.
I agree with BBC -- the best part of the Mooning Amtrak site is in the FAQ:
Q: Can I decorate my butt?
A: Yes, that's O.K.
