We all know that any group consisting of more than one crow is a
murder of crows. From this simple fact was spawned a game which offers hours of entertainment for the easily amused or severely bored: invent collective nouns for any group of items or people with unique or quirky shared characteristics.

From over the horizon, singing as they come, emerges...
- A draft of Clark supporters
- A dugout of Dean supporters
- A coiff of Edwards supporters
- A union of Gephardt supporters
- A loof of Kerry supporters[1]
- A commune of Kucinich supporters[2]
- A minyan of Lieberman supporters[3]
- A ... of Moseley Braun supporters
- A ... of Sharpton supporters
[1] Say it out loud.
[2] I don't like this one much.
[3] The quorum of adult Jewish males
necessary to say certain prayers, including the prayer for the dead. I don't like this one much either.
Alternatives, and suggestions to fill in the gaps, welcomed.
