Just wondering if there is a name to describe a group of Wackos.

As of 10/8/99, and with the latest flurry (?) of new Wackos, there are now 73 Wackos.

Among the 'elite' level -- those who have 500 or more posts, there are 6:

1,711 JChidester
694 BobM
691 JTimothyA
687 Art
661 Mombo
578 engBrady

Just below the 500 posts are:
492 SThompson
492 Rod Watson
465 Todd Shorkey
458 rscroope

Thanks TheLightKeeper for the definitions and etymology.

How about "committed"? As in "I'm a committed Wacko from my residence in the East Louisiana State Hospital."

Just thought of a "Tender" of Wackos - like the lighthouse supply ships that provided supplies to those on remote locations.

Maybe a "keep" of Wacko's since, curiously, it means as a verb to provide with maintenance and support, to celebrate, and to persevere, and, as a noun, it stands for care and custody and, secondly, a castle's stronghold (strength).

Just left my vet's office with my dog a few hours ago, and he had a sign that showed all of those animal groups. You know, a gaggle of geese, covey of quail, etc. Anyway, I liked the one that applied to penguins. It had a certain ring to it when applied to Wackos. How about "A Smack of WACKOS."
