Someone explain line dancing to me. I don't get it.*
Guys and gals (work with me) put on their best acid-washed jeans, cowboy hat and cowboy boots, shine up their biggest buckle and put on their bestest denim shirt with the leather patches on the shoulders, drive their pickup down to the most popular watering hole, knock back a couple six-packs of Bud and stand in lines, two feet apart from each other and proceed to plug their thumbs behind their belt buckles while performing the same, previously agreed upon 4 variations of the two-step** while not so subtlely counting out the beats with silent lips?
I only started noticing it after the Electric Slide (which is a stain on our culture) died the death in a way that made it only acceptable to do at really bad weddings -- and that was like 1990. Is there some long tradition of line dancing that I should know about?
Someone help me out with this. And when you're done, help me with this photo:

*Maybe Hank invented it?
