It's summer. The time of year for backyard barbeques, pool side parties and leisurely beach days with friends and family.
It's also the season for planking.
We here in the Daily Breeze newsroom have followed the planking trend as it's risen from a strange foreign curiosity into an headline-grabbing international craze. We haven't stopped laughing, or scratching our heads.
If Dwight Howard and Ron Artest - sorry, Metta World Peace - are doing it, then it has to be cool. Right?
But surely, planking - like other strange fads - is destined for obscurity and irrelevance.
And before it goes the way of the hacky sack and rollerblading, we'd like to put out a call: Send us your planking photos. Have an interesting or hilarious planking story to tell? We want to hear it. We'll post the photos here, on the Pipeline Blog. Maybe we'll consider a few for a possible story in the pages of the Daily Breeze. Just be sure to include your name, where the photo was taken and some contact info.
Send e-mails to: douglas.morino@dailybreeze.com
Just don't put yourself - or anyone else - in harms way, break any laws and/or get yourself fired from your job. After all, the Daily Breeze does not condone illegal behavior. And we certainly don't want anyone to get hurt.
Now, happy planking.
