Used to do this when I was a teenager. Group of friends would shuffle into the china buffet around 2, then stay for 4 hours or so, so you can get two meals for the price of one.
we'd sit in the smoking section, smoke cigarettes and fuck around. We made up our own language with something like 50 words, all reenacted to a degree. to say "butterfly" you had to act out a caterpillar being slowly dissolved in it's own cocoon juices before emerging minutes later as a butterfly. it was a wonderful time.
we only ever sat there for hours when nobody else was there, though. if the place was crowded we'd eat and go so as not to be jerks
