The planking thread

[SMOKEU]

I'm sure that many of you have seen the new "planking" fad in the media lately.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_%28fad%29

Of all the stupid fads that have come and go over the years, this has to be near the top.

[Mom]

A combination of Plonker and Wanker.

[slofox]

Hey! It was a motorcyclist who started all this,

Back in the mid fifties at Bonneville., some chap wearing only swimming togs stretched out on a Bonnie.( I think) He set a new speed record. Not to sure which record he set. Somebody else is sure to know.

I'm to lazy to dig out the photo and upload it.

It Was Rollie Free and it was on a Vincent, record average speed of 150.313 mph (241.905 km/h)

Gosh, Maha will have something to say about that piccy :yes:

[scumdog]

Motorcycling IS planking.

Only with wheels.:yes:

[fuknKIWI]

Funny shit, no risk no fun:woohoo:
Now we have a martyr on the great plank in the sky:violin:
Get those broom handles out of your arses, it might be stupid but I for one think some of it is quite funny:yes:

Does that rule of grammar apply to Willy Wonker?

[meteor]

Planking isn't dangerous, it was the sudden stopping at the end of the fall. What a dick! I'm filing this one in the 'don't really give a rats' folder

+1 go figure you hang at least half your body over a 7 story drop when drunk (balance impaired) no surprises what happens next. Darwin rules. Do feel sorry for his family but he media bet up on planking :yawn:

almost as bad as dubstep!

Now be careful there, you'll give people ideas:yes:

[SMOKEU]

Dubstep is phucking mean bro.

I tried planking , on the

M1 , Elephent and castle, a particularly good one in Akaroa ...well on the way to akaroa ..

Boxhill , that was a popular lie down ...

Its tough on the body so have drifted out of the lying down sport

Now Just the occasional lie down a after a few beers

Agreed ..a bit like taking a wheelie bin for a spin(happened to do something similar in a super market trolley years ago..the bruise on my arse was spectacular!!!!).........:shutup: RIP fellow silly billies:bye:

Yer thats about my experience of planking too.......plastered planking!!!!:facepalm::blink:

[Banditbandit]

I was amused watching the news item last nigfht that it was originally called "extreme lying down" .... I find that idea hilarious ...

Now, there's always going to be dickheads (just like in the motorcycling fraternity) who try extreme lying down on a balcony railing while drunk and several floors above the ground .. Dumb de doo ...

[Stirts]

These so-called "plankers" are just posers. Everyone knows Jesus got there first.

[awa355]

239226Thanks to Spearfish for the lead.

1948, 150mph. Wouldn't the PC / ACC crowd have a field day if you tried this today?

[martybabe]

I'd love to plank but my belly gets in the way, perhaps I should start a new craze called tubbing. 239232 Have to ba a strong balcony mind. :yes:

[Big Dave]

If you had a 'stick up your arse' while planking, is it called raking?

[slofox]

If you had a 'stick up your arse' while planking, is it called raking?

Could be - but if you are towed forward by a Harley when planking it's known as "ploughing"...

[Crasherfromwayback]

If you had a 'stick up your arse' while planking, is it called raking?

It makes you a popsicle

[RDJ]

When it goes wrong, results in a corpiscle

I sincerely hope they have a katman too then

I sincerely hope they don't - they remove unwanted genes from our gene pool .. lifts the overall intellegence of human beings ..

Presumably originated in the UK? It has a similar sense of humour to "extreme ironing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing)".

[Banditbandit]

Yeah. That looks like fun too - Now, if I can just figure out how to carry an ironing board on a bike ... (and not look like I should be on a Honda ...)

Planking is old - the new thing is Teapotting - striking the pose of "I'm a little teapot.." while standing on a fence. NatRad says it started in Aus (Sydney) which explains a lot.

IMF chief resigns amid controversy surrounding planking a chambermaid.

The Qld government now says 'this will not be tolerated'.

:facepalm:

[ynot slow]

So 2 dwarfs lying side by side is 2 short planks?

[Swoop]

Wow, this new "Planking" craze has really taken off.

The old pensioner next door has been lying face down in the middle of his patio for three days solid now.







I don't get what all the hubbub is about. I've been planking in bed and on the sofa for bloody years!







I read about that aussie bloke that died while 'planking'.

I mean how stupid can you get, I read in absoulute disbeleif that any one could do something so absurd.

Why would anyone call their son Acton?:facepalm:

Best laugh of the day :laugh: Maybees he should have booked the photographer first rather than just randomly planking and hoping some one would come along and take a picture. Poor bugger could be there for weeks yet.:yes:

[Maha]

Why has this shit not caught on in Reefton yet?

[jazfender]

obviously the dude just wasn't cut out for planking. just a wannabe.

[Laava]

If you had a 'stick up your arse' while planking, is it called raking?


It makes you a popsicle

So if I grabbed that stick and plunged it up and down it would be a chup-a-chup?

[Laava]

Our Mertle has joined in the fun. In fact she has been doing it for 23yrs now! Woohoo! Go Merts! Fuck yeah!

[Big Dave]

Brock Parkes planked on the podium at the world supersports. It was some funny shit.
