Selene Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It consists of nothing more taxing than crouching on one's haunches and staring into the middle distance, like an owl.See article from the UK Mail Owling here Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2015034/Owling-new-planking-New-crouching-craze-springs-internet.html#ixzz1SHXmZYGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Wow, talk about being bored with life.Planking and owling are perfect to keep you in the running for a Darwin Award.Someday we have to get boredom out of the human gene pool, so might as well get started now.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiodekadent Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Planking and owling are perfect to keep you in the running for a Darwin Award.That depends on where you plank/owl from.There are PLENTY of nonlethal places to plank/owl. A few high profile accidents may have generated a moral panic over the craze, but its really not as massively dangerous as the media coverage would indicate.

Rich Engle Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) It's all about the New Narcissism<tm>Go put some sweat down and master something difficult, fucq-stick. Right?Does disciplined effort mean nothing? Why bother when you can be a %$*& and have your special, brave Moment.rdeI'm Special, I Climb On Shit And Act Like Nature Edited July 17, 2011 by Rich Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Rich,Of course it's free choice, but I think it's a silly fad. Something like a guy at a party who wears a lampshade on his head.Whatever. If people like it, they like it. And like I said, those who take it to the next level get the Darwin Award.It's nothing new, though.When I think planking, I think Superman. Let the planker plonkers plank, I say, but let them dare plank in midair like Superman. Heh. A blunt plank clonk.But when I think owling, I think of something really, really special: a marvelous movie about the Vietnam War by Alan Parker called Birdy, specifically the character played by Mathew Modine (Birdy himself). Here's a picture of what I mean:Now that's owling.The guy thought he was a pigeon, not an owl, but what the hell.That's still quality owling.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
