Dance Dance Immolation

Whoa. I'm not a Dance Dance Revolution guy, but I've watched a few hardcore competitors in action. I admit that I both admire their crazy skills and understand I'd never have the guts to humiliate myself like that in public. But my respect level goes through the roof when you throw in blowtorches and firesuits.

Makes me wonder what other awkward, fun, slightly geeky pursuits could add some cred with a serious bump in the stakes. Synchronized swimming in a pool of pirhaunas? Full-contact mini golf? Polka dancing with razor wire hoop skirts? I'd watch that. Someone call ESPN 8, "The Ocho."
