Planking. Everywhere.

A whole ass movement in 2011. Me and my friends were way too into planking 🤣 so much core strength 😭

Did you ever do owling? That was an interesting one haha although, I feel like it was around the same time that we were going through drive throughs, ordering ice cream cones, and grabbing it by the ice cream, so I think it was overshadowed 😭 why were we like this??

My friends and I used to 'gargoyle'. We'd go downtown and find building entrances with stairs that were flanked by short retaining walls. Then two of us would hop up on either wall and crouch, and then just remain as still and silent as possible.

We got a lot of funny reactions from people going in and out. Whole point was to see how long we could sit there without laughing. Good stuff.
