-   -   Welcome to... oh? The Planking trend started in 2011? I guess it got old quickly. (http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=20698)

I think planking is silly.

enchilado 01-22-2012 03:04 AM

I think your mother is silly, but that didn't stop me doing her.

EDIT: dear god, I don't believe I just posted that. Time to sleep, or possibly die

I think it's amusing, some of the places they get up to. Makes me giggle to think about all the ways they could fall and potentially mortally wound themselves.
:lol:

Crashpunk 01-22-2012 04:05 AM

I too think it's stupid. But thats probably the point.

Ridg3 01-22-2012 04:30 AM

Can anyone actually point out a fad that wasn't stupid?

Yo-yos will always be rad as hell.

Pokemon cards weren't stupid. I still have all mine.

Nepsotic 01-22-2012 08:14 AM

If you said that in school you'd get punched.

Crashpunk 01-22-2012 12:51 PM

In my school you'll get punched if you didn't have Pokemone cards.

Yep.

NyOe!s 01-22-2012 12:59 PM

I still have my old pokemon cards.

So this is my current Facebook profile picture. It's not planking, but "owling" apparently. And it wasn't my idea; I just climbed the tree and my mates thought this would be appropriate.

Nepsotic 01-22-2012 01:35 PM

Time for the 'owling' thread

MeechMunchie 01-22-2012 01:59 PM

I've got this idea for a craze.

It's called 'Standing'.

NyOe!s 01-22-2012 03:24 PM

Wow standing that's amazing. Oh! wait no it's not.
Climbing in a tree at first I thought you were some massive bird.

I won’t stand for your insults, sir.

Phylum 01-22-2012 04:44 PM

What a cunt!

NyOe!s 01-22-2012 05:19 PM

Sorry that wasn't an insult in my eyes but a joke. I'm sorry if I offended you but everyone has a different humour.

I did planking twice last summer, just a reason to get outside instead of doing nothing at home.... -_-'

I probably won't do this again except if I'm drunk ;P

JennyGenesis 01-23-2012 12:52 AM

HAH! Your hair seems to makes these pictures better :p

Nate 01-23-2012 02:27 AM

You don't even appear to have a head in the first one.

Crashpunk 01-23-2012 05:20 AM

The first one cracked me up.

Nepsotic 01-23-2012 08:08 AM

skills in planking, you have, i might try it, i bet i could be a massive planker

Wil 01-23-2012 08:15 AM

You've changed your tune.

Nepsotic 01-23-2012 08:18 AM

i know, its probably fun to do for a couple of seconds when your drunk, but watching loads of people do it for hours can be annoying. to be honest, i can't believe how big its become on here, i didnt know it was that popular.

STM 01-23-2012 12:10 PM

So you don't have integrity or solidarity?

Two people have posted pictures. One was from last summer.

Who on earth planks for hours? It's not a hobby; people do it to get an amusing photo, then move on.

Maybe they do it for money. Hell, i know people dumb enough who would do that for $10 for a couple of hours. I got them to snort a crushed mint up there nose once.totally worth the ten dollars.

According to Wikipedia, "The game made news in September 2009, when seven doctors and nurses working at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon, England were suspended for playing the lying down game while on duty."

Wow. Suspended from their job for lying down. Maybe someone misheard when told they were 'lying down together'.

Well, they were literally lying down on the job. I'd suspend them too if i caught my employees doing that.

What is the appeal?
