Extreme ironing: no dumber than extreme knitting

Some feel that even ultra-mundane tasks like ironing can be combined with adventure. According to the Extreme Ironing Board the sport that is 'extreme ironing' is an outdoor activity that combines the danger and excitement of an 'extreme' sport with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. It involves taking an iron and board (if possible) to remote locations and ironing a few items of laundry. This can involve ironing on a mountainside, preferably on a difficult climb, or taking an iron skiing, snowboarding or canoeing.
