Planking is a very stupid and dangerous trend. Basically, you lie like a plank in weird places. That's it. Sometimes you get run over. Welcome to the Internet.

The Search Committee finally decided, after a lot of deliberation, on Robert California... for the manager position. Who took one look around and left...

I' it's unbelievable. True, I may have been the second choice, but I was the first-choice's first choice.
