i like the sound of that game. everyone can play, everyone can win. although some drug cheats can still have an advantage. as can the dead.

All the rage for professional sportsmen for about 6 months.

Honestly, you'd think they'd have something better to do with their time...

Death by planking

'' plank |pla ng k|
noun
1 a long, thin, flat piece of timber, used esp. in building and flooring. ''

The Dictionary will have to edit there text to this,

'' a long, thin, flat human, used esp. in building and flooring. ''

Yeah, this has just burst onto my internets recently and it confuses the fuck out of me. Why? All it has going for it is 'heh, funny photo.'

Steve Buscemeyes is better.

Death by Steve Buscemeyes

I saw this first-hand last night. Bunch of gen Y bogans downing JBs+cokes getting one of their 'mates' to plank across a fence - at some point the dude planking yelled out 'somebody get a camera'. One of his mates then said 'let's throw bottles at him'.

I walked away before witnessing the conclusion of these brave cultural events.

art for the masses!

cultural revolution!

the quote

'' show us yer plank? '' will be getting around soon i'm guessing.

coming soon to ''things bogans like''

I saw four dudes with Richmond jumpers doing it on the back of a cab outside Southern Cross this afternoon. What rebels. The cabbie looked pretty pissed off. The dudes were smiling with open hands saying ''It's only planking! Chill out!''

I should have run them over.

Deputy Police Commissioner Ross Barnett today said his worst fears about planking had been realised.

“This morning we have seen a young man take this activity a step further and attempt to plank on a balcony. Unfortunately he has tragically fallen to his death,” he said.

FFS, is Chris Morris scripting real life now?

''Unfortunately''. That word is bandied around a lot these days.

Only a matter of time before the government makes it illegal to be horizontal.

i prefer the variant where everyone in the photo frame pretends as though they've been brutally murdered.

your thought's?

PM WIPEY

The anti-planking nanny state's gone mad!

''Kids these days don't know a good plank if they see one''

This planking craze has gone too far. My elderly neighbour has been planking in the rose bush out front of her house for four straight days.

(Someone texted that to me last night. I lose my shit.)

LOL

jeebee said 3 days ago:

For the word geeks out there, apparently ''stacks on!'' used to be ''stacks on the mill''!

FWIW ''stacks on the mill'' is still used by footy commentators pretty regularly.

It's reached the point that Penny Arcade are making fun of it...

Planking: The video game

So is this planking biz just an Australian online craze or a worldwide one?

I don't care enough to explore planking Facebook pages to find out.

Kinda embarrassing if it is just an Oz meme... it's not particulary that funny or interesting to me personally.

fastest transition from cool/funny to bogan i've seen in a long time.

The best commentary on planking I've seen so far.

Adam Harding and his band are mad for it

Ben, is that MC Milk Chake planking on the drums?

That's him: MC Milk Chake - just ask him.
