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 02:35 PM

Time for the 'owling' thread

MeechMunchie 01-22-2012 02:59 PM

I've got this idea for a craze.

It's called 'Standing'.

NyOe!s 01-22-2012 04:24 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 05:44 PM

What a cunt!

NyOe!s 01-22-2012 06:19 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 01:52 AM

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

Nate 01-23-2012 03:27 AM

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

Crashpunk 01-23-2012 06:20 AM

The first one cracked me up.

Nepsotic 01-23-2012 09:08 AM

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

Wil 01-23-2012 09:15 AM

You've changed your tune.

Nepsotic 01-23-2012 09:18 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 01:10 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.

Sekto Springs 01-23-2012 10:23 PM

What is the appeal?

Nate 01-24-2012 05:09 AM

The chance for an amusing photo to share with friends, I assume.

Nepsotic 01-24-2012 08:27 AM

i did one today, just to see what all the fuss is about. Annoyingly about ten people also snapped a photo before i got down.

STM 01-24-2012 10:28 AM

Why the fuck would you do it if not to get attention, that's the whole bloody idea. Funny how someone who is vehemently against the whole thing does it after spending about two days on a topic on a back water internet forum.

Wil 01-24-2012 11:52 AM

You can do things for your own amusement and the amusement of others without actually desiring the attention.

STM 01-24-2012 03:03 PM

But something such as planking gains amusement in direct proportion to the attention and interest that is generated by performing the act.

Jordan 01-24-2012 03:27 PM

I think it's fucking stupid, but whatever pleases people!

That attention includes people getting irrationally offended about it

back water internet forum.

hey

STM 01-25-2012 09:30 AM

Well I still prefer to being forward water.

Wings of Fire 01-25-2012 10:30 AM

We're mid water, where the pool is deepest.

And that's deep.

Jesus wept. the only person making a big thing about this bullshit is you, and you alone. it's pointless, the only reason i did it was because i was fucked out of my skull.

ha. it isn't a new drug. there's no dizzying high when you start planking. you don't gain super powers. your cock doesn't grow an extra few inches. what did you expect to happen? i bet you lay there for a few minutes, waiting for this magical journey to take place, then said "well, this isn't anywhere near as fun as people make out" while people took pictures of the kid planking on top of the fucking church.

YOU MAKE ME DOHOHO

Mine does, I plank by balancing on it.

ZOMFG UPLOAD IT PLEEESE. Planking is sooooo fucking awesome dude, you're fucking awesome for planking. Up the plankers.

mr.odd 01-26-2012 02:33 PM

Now, now. Play nice children.

Wings of Fire 01-26-2012 03:50 PM

I play with nice children all the time.

MA 01-26-2012 04:02 PM

fucking anime children.

EDIT: that didn't come out as i intended.

Nepsotic 01-27-2012 09:12 AM

actually, i was talking about it with my friend, and it was his idea, he got amused, i didn't.
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...9&d=1327684372

jesus, that was bigger than i expected, and i halved (halfed?) it's size already.

MA 01-27-2012 09:37 AM

where's the church?

Nepsotic 01-27-2012 09:40 AM

i'm wondering who that nob behind me is with a hat over his face, and a hole in it.

MA 01-27-2012 09:57 AM

you mean that garment known to most other people as a winter hat?
