Owling Craze! Lol.


Owling is a role playing game and relatively new phenomenon much like the "Planking phenomenon", a trend that is set through popular internet blogs and then taken into the physical world. Like Planking, Owling was created as a joke but is catching on in both urban and suburban settings alike around the United States of America. The act of Owling includes crouching on a random object, preferably highly elevated. Unlike its humerus counterpart Planking, Owling allows the "Owler" to make hooting noises while perched. The goal of this game is to seek attention and a smile, or puzzled face from passing bystanders, while taking in the scenery and enjoying the environment around oneself. Owling can be done in any setting.


Just when you thought we as a human race couldn't get any weirder (or more bored, depending on how you look at it) planking has been upstaged by... wait for it... owling.











After planking, it's now 'owling'

LONDON: Seems like the bizarre internet craze for planking is over. Owling is the latest trend sweeping across workplaces around the world.
Owling, believed to have started in Australia, consists of nothing more taxing than crouching on one's haunches and staring into the middle distance like the nocturnal birds.
Participants then take photos of themselves and post them on Facebook or on other social networking sites, reports the Daily Mail.
Hundreds of young people in America, Australia and now, Britain, have taken up the new 'owling' craze.
The trend is a development of the popular craze of 'planking' in which people would take pictures of themselves lying face down in strange locations.
However, in recent months 'planking' has become increasingly mainstream - and thus less popular on the trend-conscious Internet.
The Wikipedia entry for 'owling' describes the practice as being a term used in the Middle Ages to describe the 'the smuggling of sheep or wool from England to another country'.
Despite its relative youth, the owling craze already has two popular Facebook groups dedicated to it, onto which more than 1,000 people are listed as members.
Other social websites including Reddit also feature pictures of young people taking part in the craze.
The trendspotting site Buzzfeed has described 'owling' as a 'worthy successor' to planking.

Faced with daunting task to overcome their opponents, Smart Gilas Team Pilipinas has once again proved their worth against their nemesis Al Jala'a of Syria, 85-80 and advances to the semifinals of 2011 FIBA-Asia Champions Cup Quarterfinals match. Here's the complete report of the match courtesy of FIBA-Asia website. It was more than what the capacity crowd at the PhilSports Arena could have asked for. For, not only did their favorite team – Smart Gilas – win, but showed tremendous resilience to recover from a disappointing first quarter of an hour to beat Syrian League champions Al Jala’a 85-80 in the quarterfinals on Friday. Smart Gilas, who thus became the first team from outside the Gulf-WABA subzones to enter the semifinals in four years , will now match wits with twice defending champions of Mahram in the semifinals.
