American Idol with the Queens!!!
Everyone is crowded onto one couch or the small area in front of it. No one has any concept of personal space it seems and the censor button on their mouths seems to be broken. They all speak in almost a foreign language--that is, until someone comes on stage and grabs a microphone--then all is silent, except one. He makes some off the wall comment, and they all attack. It's brutal. Just one of the quips thrown at him would make a normal person cry, but he takes it in stride. Then they all go back to watching the screen. Commercial break. There is no distinction between sexes when someone is being talked about--it's usually just "oh, her?" or "that bitch" yet usually they're talking about a guy. It's a strange world they live in, but everyone understands it. Movie lines are constantly being bounced around as if it's just another conversation. The entire movie dialogue could most likely be quoted--and everyone knows all of the lines. Typically it's a gay movie...go figure. Offensive slurs are spouted by one, but no one looks upset or offended and everyone just laughs. Old stories that apparently everyone knows are constantly repeated and always accompanied by loud laughter. How does everyone know every damn story? When one person get ups to get another drink, they always return with at least three for the rest of them. It seems like the normal thing, everyone always gets things for everyone else. They are so rude to everyone (it seems) but everyone really likes every person there. The only time someone questions if anyone else wants a drink is if the oldest one asks, "Whiskey?" Everyone else groans and talks shit about his whiskey habit, but shots are poured all around. All is suddenly silent again, another person must be coming up to sing.
