None whatsoever. Utterly newsless, today, except to say that my day lacks news. There's nothing of note, less of interest, and precious little of consequence, resulting in a global shortage of news as it regards to me. I am a news-free zone. Two factoids enter, no news leaves. Soylent green is people, but has no added news. News? Apparently I couldn't handle the news. Droids don't rip people's arms out of their sockets when they have no news. My news is no more. Bereft of news, it leaves me newsless. It's rung down the curtain and joined the bulletin invisible.
In short, I have no news. None at all.
So instead, I open the floor to you, my collected readership, to tell me all about your favourite collective nouns, and optionally to invent new collective nouns for LJers/LJfriends/people who read one's LJ.

They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway
Bunnies, bunnies
It must be bunnies

Are they really called smacks of jellyfish?

A devotion of readers. A cascade of posters.
Are they really called smacks of jellyfish?
Yes! I thought it might be a slap of jellyfish (*has visions of Monty Python fish-slapping dance*), but a smack it is. Or a fluther.
(who comes up with these words?)

Date: 2006-02-24 05:49 am (UTC)i'll second the vote for a "drama of blogger" and add to the floor "fanningofme". This is to be said all as one word.
"The fanningofme have not been very active in my journal lately, so i'm thinking of stirring them up with a public friends cut."
"active-apathy's fanningofme is much larger than mine, which leaves me feeling inadequate and causes me to open the spam that i get entitled 'enlarge your fanningofme'."

Date: 2006-02-24 06:13 pm (UTC)A sod of aristocrats
A mope of depressives
A sweep of butlers
A mogget of worrywarts
A tell of counselors
A whack of door-to-door salesmen
A f*** of People Who Glare at You Unnecessarily
A trumpet of musicians
A stamp of librarians
A joke of politicians
A chore of moaners
A boggle of mime artists
A join of pyramid salesmen
A grope of college professors
A quack of doctors
A shob of diplomats
A hurdle of bureaucrats
Also, I suspect the correct term for a group of nouns is a collective, simply based on the theory that English is a bitch.
