last "The Canadians are coming!" :: Current :: next "April Fools!"
March 31, 2002 :: "A banality of bloggers"
Most animals have an adjective applied for their species when there is more than one of them. Some of them, like a flight of swallows, actually make sense. Others, like a shrewdness of apes, are just plain silly. Apes aren’t shrewd; they throw poop and masturbate in public.
Perhaps some better ones could be proposed. I IMed Natalie earlier in the week about this and we decided that it might be cool to make this a group project. As this is about groupings, it only follows logic that a group of humans should help come up with the names. Having a houseful of Canadians, I seized the opportunity to create the list. The resulting list is the result of too much chocolate and sushi. Special guests Natalie, Rannie and Jay.
The current adjective is given first; followed by our proposals. Please feel free to suggest your own.
Were "group of humans" and "houseful of Canadians" intended to be among that group? They caught my eye.
How about "a stake of vampires"
i suppose i am an unitelligent beast, as i have never heard of any of those names for groups, save a few.
Don't feel bad Hallie. Most of these date back to the Middle Ages.
"A skulk of foxes / A brothel of foxes"
Our other choice for that was “A cheese sandwich of bloggers.”
Reminds me of this. I love playing with words.
wow...I've just got to party with you guys. yeesh.
Well considering the purpose of the trip.. i will soon have a Calendar of Bloggers...
a gaggle of geese / a honk of geese
Someone was asking about the "group of humans" and "houseful of Canadians"... how about:
A goatee of goats?
A pace of asses / A pinch of asses
this game is fun...
a brothel? hold on.. I'm gonna be sick.
A Murder of Crows
In Dave's case, it'd be 'A Murder of Clowns.'
A stuffing of taxidermists?
Bravo Aaron! Those are fantastic.
A quote of Ravens.
An April of fools......that one was lame.
I rather like an April of fools. And why do you say you need to get a life? You weren't the one sitting around on a Saturday night coming up with over 2 dozen of these. :-P
My girlfriend Kymberlie does these every Wednesday on her site at neuroticfishbowl.com - she calls it "It's a Group Thing..." and picks a new one to educate us with. They are always quite amusing!
I meant "get a life" by the lamness of mine. I was supposed to be designing a cd cover at teh time and my brain had died from 38 hours in front of a computer. Add your two cents
He said. She said. There’s 24 Comments
A delay of sloths? A creep of spiders? A slaughter of deities? An inferno of phoenices? A blot of squid? A constellation of starfish (nebula of baby starfish...)? A strut of actors? An ugly of orcs? A beating of Klingons? A menace of death-robots?
I should stop.

and a "mall of zombies" (dawn of the dead is the best zombie movie ever. There will never be another zombie movie as well done as this one.)

Okay, while I don't care for the original, I'm nost sure I like the new one any better...
And if I may, I would submit "A glob of bloggers" as another option for self-description.
