Walk the Plank

Have you heard of planking?

It's the newest sensation that's sweeping the nation - that, along with its sister sensation, owling. Planking involves laying completely flat, face-down in different locations and getting a picture of it.

Look! Even June knows how to plank!
Hmm, you need to work on your form, June. Head is supposed to be down, gosh!
