They are real!!
For the previous 5 years I attended this freak fest in the desert with a
friend of mine (this year I have a new friend ;-)) I was actually witness
to one years winner, the guy who after buzzing the camp for a good 20
minutes crashed his plane on landing. Belive me, when we found out that
he (the pilot) was the only one hurt he got no sympathy from us.
Also, speaking of urban legends. You may have heard the one about the
Newlywed Game contestant who came up with the most unique place to make
"whoopee". It's true. She said it, they didn't edit it, and I saw it on
TV.
"It's gotta be the butt, Bob"
Darwin was right!!
