The "buffer seat" is a little number i noticed back in my prime days in suburbia, in hike-school. (I cant wait until i get to hike-school...dont you ever say that....). In laymen's terms the buffer seat is when any two individuals, both of the male gender, attend a movie together and, as not to seem like homosexuals, sit, not right next to each other, which would be totally homosexual, but sit with a seat (the "buffer seat" if you will....and i will..) between them. Im pretty sure you've all seen this phenonmenon and that this display of rampid homophobia is not solely a product of suburban america,although i may be wrong. What in the hell is up this this jazz? It happens all the friggin time. Now these chumps (who are obviously not gay, by the way) have to lean over the seat between them to converse (which is also not at all gay) about the movie (which is also not homosexual in any way). I dont know about you guys, but i cant honestly remeber anytime that i saw two guys sitting next to each other and immediately though "man, those guys are gay."  Perhaps if they were to start making out in the middle of the movie, or maybe ramming each other in the dook-chute... but not for sitting next to each other (which is, apparently....totally gay). I can also honestly say that I have never fallen into this habit of the buffer seat. Perhaps im secure enough in my masculinity not to have fallen to such a state of paranoid, Flanagan-esque homophobia; or perhaps Im a raging closet case homosexual and just havent realized it yet. What ever the case... the buffer seat is totally lame and i just dont understand it.....</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
