Haven’t you heard? Planking is so mid-2011. As the calendar turns to September and we look forward to Fall, the new Internet meme du jour is something called “stocking.” Say what? That’s what we said, too.
Stocking is the act of taking a picture that imitates a stock photo, putting the two side-by-side, and posting the results on the web. The phenomenon is so new, it doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page yet.
We’re not exactly sure where the idea for stocking truly originated, but since Aug. 18 the blog Stocking is the New Planking has been entertaining us with imitations of stock photos. Naturally, we decided to get in on the fun.
We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labors.

Puppy Elliott
This is Amy Mae Elliott's dog. As she's overseas, we have yet to discover this adorable pooch's name. We believe they are on a walk.
