Well, my friends say I'm *very* coy

There are a few notable categorizations in the pantheon of great all time rivalries: Hatfields and McCoys, Ninjas and Pirates, Star-bellied and Non-star-bellied Sneetches. Last night I was tossing back a pint at The Flying Saucer, and glancing over at the television, I happened upon another, heretofore unknown (to me, anyway) duo to add to the list: Drag Queens and Fast-Food Workers, pitting the fabulous glamour of the drag queen against the polyester and paper hat ennui of the fast-food worker. Note the resourcefulness on both sides in the battle (fryer grease? caution signs?), the willingness to get naked in order to tussle properly.

Being neither a drag queen nor a fast-food worker myself, I can't help but wonder where the roots of this feud lie. Is it the fast-food workers' envy of the drag queens' dazzling sense of style and individuality? The drag queens' desire to reign as rightful queen bees over the worker bees?

I don't know. What I do know is that I want to see the security video of this skirmish in the great war, and that all my friends should be working up ideas for recruitment posters with their photoshops as soon as possible.

Both groups are upset by the planned re-makes of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Good Burger, as the filmmakers have decided to combine them into one movie.
