This is the dumbest "craze" I may have ever heard of .......
Athletes Planking Every outlet from CNN to the BBC News has covered it and Twitter is ablaze with photos of it. It's planking, the bizarre yet incredibly hilarious craze of lying face down in random locations for a photo op.
And a number of athletes, such as Gilbert Arenas, have led the charge.
Here's a look at some players who have flaunted their planking talents.
I just love this ...... from Wikipedia (so it must be true):
The lying down game spread to the rest of the world
where it has also been known as "시체놀이" or "playing dead" (South Korea), "à plat ventre" or "On one’s belly", (France), "extreme lying down", (Australasia), "facedowns" (USA and Ireland),
and "Planking" (Australia & New Zealand and worldwide).

Got to love that one.

I do Alder planked or Cedar planked salmon on my BBQ . . .
I never thought about planking a pro athlete . . .
Did you do any Copper River this year?
Only when I could find it on sale . . $28 per pound? Are you kidding me?
During high school and college I went to Bristol Bay every summer for the Sockeye season... we got 24 cents a pound!
Yeah, it was a long time ago, but it's still hard for me pay $28/lb for a piece of fish!
I know the voices in my head aren't real, but sometimes they have really good ideas....

I hear ya. I really don't know how to cook salmon and at those prices I'm going to Anthony's and let a pro cook it.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

Best I've ever had was at Anthony's Pier 66 a couple of weeks ago.
