**Caught Planking at last night's LCCA/T W TrainWorx event...

Nosing is the new planking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTNcF2VzmEo

I got all excited, I thought you said "SPANKING"
I was looking for the picture of the little RED caboose?

I'M GONNA GUESS ITS AL K FROM THE LCCA.


GG1GUYY

Looks like Al! My daughter is thinking of a way to out Christmas plank him. Im scared

Planking?!
It looks more like he's Levitating!!

Seems pretty dumb/stupid to me.

Is it supposed to be funny?Clever?What?

I guess I'm too old.

It is just pure and simple fun! You get your photo taken at different places where you have been. The more unusual the place is, the better. As long as it it is not hurting anyplace or anyone, it is fine to do. Just being a little silly with some of the kids in attendance at this fun LCCA charity event to benefit the Ronald McDonald house in Dallas TX.

Al K.

rogruth: You're not alone. I didn't get it either. BTW I'm 57 (not thatold)

AF

If Al K elicited a smile from just one child, the "silly" pose was worth the effort.

Guess you had to be there......

You know whats silly at this time of year, is making a negative comment on something rather than just ignoring it! Now that is silly / funny to me! Russ

Ho Ho Ho!!! And for those few of you who don't recognize it...it's sheer FUN pictured below, shared by both young and old

Here is Julian taking a crack at planking! He is the young man that was one of the LCCA raffle winners at the event and I might add a potential apprentice to our Traingineers next year! Now that's Fun! Fun! Fun! Oh and you'll see pictured resting on top of Julian his raffle the BNSF Ice Cold Express Car - LCCA Limited Edition ...not that's COOL



Roy is doing an incredible job here holding up Al - Crazy Fun I tell ya!

Really? I don't get it.

Here is the Google definition of planking.


"Planking" (or the "Lying Down Game") is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. Both 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.[1] Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play.[1] The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank. Rigidity of the body must be maintained to constitute good planking.
Since early 2011, many participants in planking have photographed the activity on unusual locations such as atop poles, roofs and vehicles. Planking can include lying flat on a flat surface, or holding the body flat while it's supported in only some regions, with other parts of the body suspended.

That's hilarious. He's better suited though to Owling.

I'm 55 and I have Planked and Owled and proud of it. Plan on trying Horsemaning in the future.

Owled? What's that?

Al K.

The Google definition is:

Owling (internet meme), the practice of crouching "like an owl" in unusual places.

I will have to owl at the next LCCA event, possibly with the Lionel layout.

I realize that planking is the latest fad like phone booth stuffing, but many years ago our photo class had an assignment: Take something and put in in 25 locations around Rochester, NY. Everyone in the photo class was doing it and I treasure a pic my friend made of me in front of the Eastman House.

So what's holding them up? Or are these photoshopped?

As I said earlier,I guess I'm too old.
