Planking?

[Swordfish]

So that's where the loose change on the bedside table comes from.

PS - I've got your watch !

Free running isn't dangerous. Doing it badly at the top of high-rise buildings is dangerous. "
But planking is about doing it in the most interesting, shocking or unexpected way possible. This pushes people to do it in the more dangerous ways to beat the other plankers.

Planking pushes people into dangerous situations so that they out plank others.

some idiot died trying to plank the other week ...

back when i was a lad people got called as thick as a plank of wood... obviously a lot of these are

<snip>

Imagine having to explain to people how he died

In my 26 years of living, I have never heard of or seen anyone "Planking" I didnt know what it was until 2 minutes ago, and I use facebook all the time.

 

[Begbie]

A local newspaper here put up an article encouraging people to do it!

Yeah well done, now **** off.

I put on facebook that i am going to get the entire Brechin footy team to 'plank' at the Glebe when i take the team photo this season. One of the team already does it and he's the same age as me! We'll see if i can persuade them

Come and try that on the Underground, old chap. 630 volts up the ol' wazoo should discourage you a tad.

Plank.

 

[Curio]

I think this is the first internet fad I've found completely unfunny in every way. It's just people lying down most of the time

I'm going to start one called "standing"

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Bunch of ******* retards.

 

[Big Chris]

hehe I think it's pretty funny

 

[IIDeathCubeKII]

I hate facebook and the proles that frequent it. Hopefully more of them fall off balconies

Plank.

I doubt that electricity is carried by the tracks... then again, with the Underground you never do know

Extreme ironing is better imo.

Beat me to it.

 

[Oynas]

Put me down as another that really doesn't really get this. When I first saw it I thought it was quite amusing, because it is so irregular. Now after seeing it all over the place, it just seems incredibly predictable and unfunny.

By and large, they're all just in silly high places, over a big drop. Its not even original, been done to death.

 

[wannabedamned]

I have a picture of me laid on the floor at work,

Someone commented asking me "Since when do I plank"

I replied "I've always been a bit of a planker.

I was not aware of what planking was at this point, and this thread has helped greatly.

I'd really not blame the "game", I'd blame the person for being silly enough to do it in a way that's liable to get themselves hurt.

I feel so far out of the loop on this one, it might have been that I've subconsciously avoided it but I initially wondered if it was something like tombstoning which is closer to being inherently dangerous.

how the hell did this catch on?
