A friend sent me the [link](http://www.extremeironing.com/) to a new extreme sport. Or activity. Or something. What other extremes can you think of? ---

EXTREME KITTEN PETTING! See them rub AGAINST the grain! See them scritch AND scratch! Their only reward: the admiration of their fans. And purring. You’re pathetic, **ETF**! 😛 ---

Oh, yeh, **NCB**? Well, how about: _Extreme thread-starting!_ See: Who can devise the most obscure, yet tantalizing caption! See: How many times the OP can bump the thread out of obscurity and rigor boardis? Thrill: To bewildering digressions and Pit-leading flame wars! Their only reward: Boosting their post count without being banned! ---

Extreme flossing. It would probably involve lots of snowboarding off cliffs while cleaning your tooth with neon floss, accompanied by loud guitar heavy rock. The accidents would be particularly gruesome…too bad monofilament thread hasn’t been invented yet. That would be coooool. _makes devil sign_ ---
