You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Owling!
Will the craziness never end.
First it was “Planking” where people remain motionless like a tranquilized 2×4.
Now comes Owling and it’s all the rage!
What is Owling?
It is what it sounds like.
Imagine an Owl sitting on a tree limb, staring blankly at the world. That is Owling, and it sweeping Facebook and other internet sites.
Does it make you wonder how stupid the human race really is.
Half of America can’t tell you who John Quincy Adams is, but they know who Quincy Jones is.
Americans can’t tell you who is the Speaker of the House, but they can tell you who Snooky is sleeping with.
First it was “PLANKING” And now there’s something even dumber.
MTV described it as a person squatting down somewhere (table, chair or counter), bringing their knees into their chest and placing their arms straight down at their side. Thus, the “Owler” then looks like an owl perching somewhere.
Hillary Duff tweeted a photo of herself Owling on her dining room table, and tweeted, “Didn’t wanna hit carmageddon so I’m just owling all weekend!”
I know there are much worse things you can post on the internet.
I just wonder what’s next.
How bout Giraffing – Where you stand motionless with your neck sticking out.
How bout Arnolding? That’s where you strike a pose like a body builder and post it for the entire world to see.
How about Craning? That’s where you stand on one leg in strange places pretending to be a majestic water fowl.
How bout Crazy Eyeing? That’s where you just stare at people with crazy eyes like you escaped from an insane asylum.
Are these ideas stupid? Yes. That’s why they have a chance to catch on with the FACEBOOK crowd. And just when you thought you weren’t wasting enough time, right?
Apparently one owler owled on a balcony of a 7 story building. Just one problem. When he lost his balance – instead of owling – he began falling. Bummer dude. If you only were wise like an owl you would know you don’t have wings and gravity always wins in a game of stupid.
And that’s crazy.™
