Things I have learned from teenagers
I was thinking about this today, and it makes me laugh, so I'm sharing.
We all know what planking is, right (however stupid it may be)?
Well, here are some apparently-popular variations:
Owling: You stand outside and look like a gargoyle. Why it's not called "gargoyling" I don't know.
Coning: You are in a drive thru, and the person inside is handing you an ice cream cone. You grab it upside-down and throw it on the groud. On purpose. You waste good ice cream ON PURPOSE!
And my fave: My nephew Adam asked me what it's called when someone is getting food from a drive thru and you run up and take it from them. I said theft.
Re: Things I have learned from teenagers
People who "cone" must be buying their ice cream with someone else's money!
On the other hand, maybe that's what Rodgers was trying to do when he spilled my drink on me yesterday...I'll have to tell him he's not doing it right.
I pose this question:
What happened to just hanging out with friends and playing sports, running around the mall, taking dance class, playing a musical instrument...etc...
A woman I know was walking into Target and some little sh!t tweens were "planking" outside on the ground. She is about 38.5 weeks pregnant. She (and I quote) went medieval on their asses. See kids, go do something more productive.
I've yet to see this IRL. I am not upset by that.
I am upset by the senseless waste of ice cream, and I don't care who bought it. It's ICE CREAM, people!

It's all really bizarre. Some of the planking pictures are really funny.
There is absolutely no valid reason to waste good ice cream.
I also don't get the planking thing. I only know the term because you do it in Pilates and DH makes me do it during my work out's as well. With that being said, some of these kids should look of the origin's of planking.
Anyone seen roots? Planking actually can be a deragotory thing to an African American
But like anything else people are just doing it because it's a fad.
To me - it's a core strength workout:)

This cracked me up. :P
Planking is stupid - mainly because its origins [slavery] makes planking ridiculous. I'm not even sure how that got started. I had explained owling to some people that we went on a bar crawl with in Vegas, and they thought it was as stupid as it sounds. :P
And coning? Seriously? Who the crap wastes precious ice cream like that?! Kids these days...[I feel so old thinking that]
So wrong to waste perfectly good ice cream
That's what I think of it too, and not to mention a tough one if you do it right.

Do you really think that the planking trend started with the association to slavery? I think it was a bunch of dumb kids being idiots making funny pictures, and someone else over thought the situation and associated it with slavery.
Is there some "original" planking picture or call to action that associates it with slavery?
