    All I can do is laugh. I guess you couldn't walk the plank, or could you? I see Martha visiting Katherine.

    Ha! I can't say that I get it, but thank you for introducing me to this fad that's sweeping the nation of Australia.

    Isn't it weird how these things become popular? I think I must be getting old, though I'm not anywhere near as old as Sam Newman, oh that's right, he's just a planker wanker. Is that a tad rude of me??
    That's that super cute table of Katherine's your super cute bub is sitting at. Shag a smile!!

    Lotta planking going on there. Bum plank takes the award followed plank plank and plank refusal. Okay, Dad plank is right up there too. Plank you very much.

    Think you're hanging with a bad crowd MMMC.
    Though there just hasn't been enough bum-planking getting a mention on the news in my opinion.

    Deb,
    good spotting!

    Frau S,
    'planking' is a stupid prank thing where people lie face down in dangerous positions. It's been in the news because one fellow died when he fell off a balcony ledge while attempting to plank. So this post isn't that funny, but the kids are always telling me I have to use more black humour.

    Sarah B,
    I agree re Sam Newman! You're not rude.

    Polkadot Heidi,
    I have no idea what you're talking about!

    MCM,
    Plank you!

    Pam,
    I've seen the news. I know the dangers.

    Fiona,
    get the cattle planking! You'd be a Youtube viral sensation.

    Sarapirat,
    I wonder if there's planking in Israel?

    Nothing beats spotting the rare and mysterious spotty bum plank in my opinion. Go Martha, Go!

    You are bad. With your sense of humour you should be working in a newsroom not a courtroom. I laughed a lot.

    Teapotting is the thing here. Much safer...

    Especially that picture 'dad plank' make me laugh!
    Yesterday my sister (she's living in Montreal/Canada) told me about 'planking'. Now I'm waiting for it in Germany... maybe I can try?!

    Bum plank. That would be a huge hit here, i think. Thanks for enlightening me---imagine, all this planking going on and me sitting here in the dark, utterly clueless.

    I am so totally impressed. Can't even pick a favourite.

    And I have to ask: in that last picture: is it a shop? a flea market? furniture heaven?

    This made me laugh. We have trestles all over the place so we could potentially be a planking family too.
