Way back in 2000 when everyone started jumping on the web and shouting "Look at me" I figured I had something to scream about too. From where I sat it seemed there were an awful lot of people out there doing some admittedly questionable/zany things to get really, really tired... on purpose! I think there's a name for these people but in the interest of keeping things civil I'll move on. Nowadays there are more people than ever playing to the edge of exhaustion and beyond. Consequently, the future looks grim. For them, not for me. I love it! As far as I'm concerned there's no richer treasure trove of ideas than watching folks beat their own brains out.

But, even if you've never been an endurance athlete, someone who pushes so hard, so often, that you're either zonked or bonked all the time, life is tiring enough on its own, right? This site celebrates those dedicated, deranged and demented folks out there who push beyond the limits of reason, hope, sanity, and most of all... good taste.
