'Extreme' Overload
-
Hey look babe... I've always been extreme. :-D Extremely tired. Extremely hungry. Extremely grumpy. Extremely moody. Extremely over-worked. I'm ready for a less extreme experience. I'm ready to live under a bridge in Jamaica and call *that* retirement. That's extreme.:-D

:laugh: That would pretty funny if someone were to pull it off, but that would only work provided that you sell it over the web without any specs (such as weight), and without a very clear picture, and people on the other end don't know their paper. I only buy expensive paper if i already have samples and can be sure of quality. Then it's up to the client to decide what's best for their application and if they can afford it. Roswell

The weight would vary by sheet. Or across each sheet, if possible. This would have to be extremely bad paper - if it was even close to the quality of commercially-produced paper, it'd lose it's distinctive brand. And how am i supposed to sell ugly paper for $45/sheet if the buyer isn't buying it just so they can say, "yes, and i painted it on Genuine Shog Paper!" ?!

That goes without saying. So let's not say it too much, just in case i do get the energy to actually try this... ;)

Actually hemp is not as potent as marijuana.
True, but the plant itself is very fibrous and therefore useful for things like rope, cloth, paper... Oddly, the only people who seem to care about such uses are also fond of the waxy buds of its cousin...

It's a shame about hemp; it's easily grown and can be used in so many things. I wish people would be willing to learn more.

Okay, it seems like everything these days is now 'EXTREEEEEEEME.' I thought the height of this stupid phenomenon was when I saw at my local grocery store 'Extreme Muffins!' They were extremely large, but not extreme. Although that much fiber might result in some extreme bodily functions. Anyhow, this has now been topped after visitng my local Barnes and Noble: The Teenage Extreme Bible. I kid you not. So how is this more 'EXTREEEEEEEEME' than the regular version? Does Jesus not walk on water but water ski with no boat? Does Moses high-five everyone after parting the Red Sea? I'm curious what other ridiculous 'extreme' things you have seen on the market.

It's not extreme, but the car wash I visit weekly with the neighbor's cat offers an Ultimate wash; for an extra buck Fluffy gets a squirt of hot wax.:cool:

BABE? Now THAT'S Extreeeeeeeeme!

I had to do it. Extreme reminded me so much of the 80's and 90's when "babe" was almost iconic.:cool:

I was thinking this exact thing the other day when I saw "extra strength" on a product label. These products are barely off the shelf and the mfg's are already offering "extra large", "extra strength", "extra long", "extra zesty", "extra absorbent" just to name a few. When a product goes from "normal" to "extra" in just a few short years, that does not leave much room for growth as far as labeling is concerned.
