Planking

Definition of Planking: An activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank. Rigidity of the body must be maintained to constitute good planking.

In an effort to keep my family up-to-date with the newest fads, I challenged everyone to a planking dual.  I can't think of a better activity for my family than to pose in random places in the most shameful and awkward looking position.

The winner of this competition (we will all vote on our favorite) will get to choose where everyone else has to plank come the next family gathering, which is a large amount of power considering the endless planking options available and the possible embarrassment of public planking.
