...here's hoping Batmanning catches on in Seattle...and that every last local who takes up this extreme(ly pointless) sport looks as good doing it as these boys do. Yow.
The chances of this are fairly good since one would have to be about....hmmm, twenty max to even want to do it, and after a certain age everything younger than twenty-five is cute just because it is. Those of you not of a certain age will have no idea what I'm talking about. But you will.
And I guess I should add this so that I don't sound like a troll. One can admire youth and gaze at it and remember it fondly without hankering for it. Just sayin'.
As a Purdue alum, I want to point out from experience that it is a fantastic university, but a semester stuck in the middle of nowhere in Indiana with little to do can make you a little batty. Evidently, very batty.
Having lived many years in Urbana, just up the road from Purdue (shout out to HAL and Roger Ebert).... One of the keys to having a great time at a "nowhere" place like this is the ability to make your own entertainment.
As I explained to many newcomers, "it's a lousy place if you want to go out and see a band, but a great place if you want to go out and start a band."
Big tip of the hat to these guys for the "stone soup" talent for taking a lovely day with nothing to do, and turning it into solid fun.
Gee whiz! I hope no one gets the idea to do this off a 13th floor balcony railing at a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale while on spring break after having too much to drink. That could be dangerous.
Batmanning is pretty hilarious, but nothing compared to seeing the physics department's motorized couch driving around campus. When I was attending, back in 05 or 06, a couple of my friends actually helped create it. And it was just a ratty old blue couch. Someone must have added all the duct tape later...
You know, if planking goes bad, you've already effectively fallen down anyway. Am I the only one who sees this as a potential epidemic of cranial injuries?
On the other hand, with all those antibiotics and prenatal care, we have to let something weed the gene pool before idiots breed.

That is all.

I concur!
