This year’s annual Moon Over Amtrak featured 8,000 bare butts displayed to passing Amtrak trains in Southern California.

Amtrak, the U.S. government’s passenger rail service, has been the butt of many jokes over the years. Stand up comics and late night TV talk show hosts have had a field day with poking fun at Amtrak and especially at the slum-poor way the government runs and manages the train operation. Amtrak’s financial condition has long been a joke, for example. So, it’s more than appropriate that Amtrak bares the brunt of a bunch of bare butts. Every year near San Diego, California, masses of people from all walks of life, all ages, men and women, stand along the tracks with their back sides facing the rails. As Amtrak trains pass by, eveyone bends over in almost perfect unison and pulls down their shorts or pants and their underwear or panties and moons the trains! At this year’s Moon Over Amtrak event the other day, the crowd was estimated at about 8,000 people! Imagine that! A huge line of 8,000 bare butts all lined up in a row glaring at Amtrak trains. Pretty funny. And to put it another way, that’s 16,000 butt cheeks on display! Wow!

The tradition started in 1979 at the Mugs Away Saloon. Some dude named K. T. Smith said to all his buddies he would buy a drink for anyone who goes out to the nearby train tracks and moons the next train that goes by. It was a pretty good dare, but a lot of his friends thought nothing of it! No big deal to drop their drawers at a train in exchange for free alcohol! Since then, it’s happened every year becoming a tradition along the way, though these days no one bribes the mooners with booze… they all just do it to do it. And some even get crazier; the other day, in addition to baring their rear ends, many women removed their tops and some folks stripped completely naked. Over 50 police were brought in due to complaints of public nudity.

Hey, go Amtrak! Here’s a funny video clip of the even from the other day.

That clip showed just a small portion of the 8,000 people who exposed their butts in the annual Moon Over Amtrak 2008 party!
