New extreme sport........

I was reading BBC online and I came across this article

Extreme Ironing

What the…??? :confused:

They can’t be serious, although the photos would seem to prove that they are.

It is only a short article, but the best bit is this

<sarcasm>Oh yeah, what satisfaction</sarcasm>

What will they come up with next?

All new, Extreme Dusting! How high can you reach - standing on your head! Don’t miss a spot! :rolleyes:

Uh…I’m hoping that this sport is just an elaborate joke so that when our alien overlords come to judge us, they won’t kill us all with their beam cannons. Well maybe they’ll just zap the British :smiley:

How about extreme belly-button scratching, it combines the adrenalien rush of being extreme while giving you the satisfaction of no-longer itching.

Hey, how about extreme nail polishing? It combines the heady rush of inhaled hydrocarbons with the satisfaction of a really glossy set of claws, er … nails!

extreme hair styling! style hair in the windy-est, wettest, wildest conditions. For an added danger, style it in the middle of a herd of stampeding elephants, or while swimming in alligator-infested waters.

Extreme sleeping. Who can sleep under the most adverse conditions, such as:
Airport runway
Heavy metal concert
Stampeding cats
While SO is talking (maybe not “adverse” but certainly dangerous)

My step-bro and I used to do “extreme swinging”. (Not that kind of swinging you pervs) :smiley:

Believe it or not, you can hurt yourself very, very badly on a child’s swingset.

I’m a great believer in cross-country hoovering.

I also take part in the pub triathalon: Pool darts and cribbage. A hard sport for hard men.

Raises hand

I fell asleep giving my girlfriend oral sex once. (Much alcohol had been consumed)

I think that was more dangerous than if she had been talking, and about as “extreme” as you get.

I had considered putting “Immediately after sex” or “During sex” on the list, but thought the former was too cliche’d (all the jokes about men rolling over and falling asleep) and the latter a little too over the edge. I guess I was wrong.

Of course, the use of artificial depressants such as alcohol is forbidden by the International Extreme Sleeping Association during official competition.

Trust me…I was severely reprimanded by the sanctioning “body”.

Extreme Cribbage

Using live swan vestas in the pegboard and shouting “one for his knob” very loudly.
