Line, line, everywhere a line

I was driving down the hill on my usual errand run today and saw a line of people on the sidewalk extending about half-a-mile from the corner of my street down the main drag, past a Borders, a Starbucks, and almost to a Sizzler. I had no idea what this was all about, so when I got done with the errands I came back up by a different route, knowing I’d have to stop at a light and I could ask some of the queuers what the heck they were doing.
Turns out it was a casting call for Deal or No Deal, from 10:00am to 1:00pm.
It’s about 85&deg out there; I don’t envy those people one whit.
