We here at TTTB have never been big fans of ironing our clothes. Now that we know about extreme ironing, though, things might be different for us. Extreme ironing is the act of taking your clothes, an iron, and an ironing board to extreme places and giving them a good press. What counts as extreme places? How about mountain tops, underwater, or in the sky while skydiving. There are no limits to extreme ironing just like there are no limits to the places we will go to find to most obscure sports around the world.

Get ready to get your hands dirty as this week I sat down with Matthew Howard and Emma Masaitis to discuss Worm Charming. Starting as a method for retrieving worms from the soil for fishing, in the 1980s worming charming evolved into a competitive sport as well. The techniques for this artform are endless and the worms in the soil.
