'Waters devotes much attention to Edith Massey’s egg obsession, which culminates in a screeching fit when Edie somehow imagines all the chickens in the world might disappear. Babs soothes her by saying, "Mama, that’s just egg paranoia."'

'Pink Flamingos follows the adventures of Babs Johnson (Divine), a fat, style-obsessed criminal who lives in a trailer with her mentally ill mother Edie (Edith Massey), her delinquent son Crackers (Danny Mills), and her traveling companion Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce). Their little dream life of shoplifting, egg-sucking, and chicken-fucking is threatened when an eccentric couple, Raymond and Connie Marble (David Lochary and Mink Stole), "two jealous perverts" according to the script, try to seize Bab’s title of "filthiest person alive" by sending her a turd in the mail and burning down her trailer.'

:-) I think this line from the movie might be the ultimate tribute to partisanship:

"I guess there are just two kinds of people in this world — my kind of people, and assholes."
