tradesman's definitions

extreme

1) Outermost or farthest. The greatest or highest; most. Far beyond what is considered normal. Drastic.

2)One of most overused words in the current english language.

The first definition is self-explanatory. But, I like to have fun with the second one. How about AN EXTREME NAP? Maybe EXTREME DEODERANT? Maybe EXTREME BAGELS at Brueger's. You get the idea. The word is EXTREMELY overused.

Bloom County

One of the best cartoons ever. It's not a place, but a state of mind. A real 80's time capsule.

I miss Milo and the others from Bloom County.
