I'd like to introduce you all to Extreme Ironing. Complete with photo galleries of earnest competitors, the site is even promoting it's first World Championships.
Frankly, I don't know how the gay sports community hasn't already picked this up and run with it to a new level. This should be our event, right?
Admittedly, I'm a little behind the competition. I haven't picked up an iron in about 2 years, but it's probably like riding a horse. Although, in this case it would be a particularly ornery horse that I never was much good at riding in the first place.
