I almost handed this off to bunner, but I was afraid it'd just keep going round and round until it caught fire. So.

1. The subject is "Xtreme" sports. Suicide or natural selection? Fad or hype? Irritating or annoying? Explore.

2. "Xtreme" product tie-ins, the stupider the better.

3. If you are not familiar with the "Xtreme" ad crap (for example, you are a woman or an Australian), too bad. Just Google it and use whatever comes up.

4. The term "sports" may include sexual practices, but any such gags had better be funny.

The contest ends Thursday at 5-something PM EST. I'm trying to speed things up a little.

boorite July 17, 2001 10:40 AM	Also, that's a framing nail, which is OK for rough or hidden work, but if you're going to drive nails into your forehead, use finishing nails. Tap them below scalp level using a nail set and hide them with filler compound or makeup foundation.

I bang mine about halfway in and then bend them over, so my head looks like some sorta crappy tree fort made by 8-year-olds. It looks supercool and it gives me a place to hang my sunglasses.

Two problems I had with that. 1. The nails get cold in the winter giving me a headache. 2. My wife complains when they poke her in the belly.

She's been pushing to have my face tiled over with a mosaic in the likeness of Paul Newman.

boorite July 19, 2001 2:10 PM	They were all funny, especially when they involved Xtreme neck-breaking or Xtreme crabby-getting-squished-by-vending-machines. But there can only be ONE: quote: 27094 Drexle! I especially liked the Xtreme arm-fin-floaty-things. Enjoy your prize-- a free case of Mountain Dew, or Holly's piss. Who can tell?

No, it was really the xtreme floaty fins that sold me.

Then it's a good thing I saw my mistake when I did, and went back to add the silly merchandise. Heh, I can just see some of those fin thingies emblazoned with the "X-treme Sports" logo.
