So, Darkmoon brought up (And Amber posted) the issue of what to call a group of mows. So far, she's suggested:

A Pack of Mows
A Mob of Mows
A Hunger of Mows
A Fluff of Mows

I'd like to know if anybody else has any suggestions. Personally, I like the sound of

A Meep of Mows.

But I know we can come up with something good.
Am I the only person who thinks that Mr. Roboto rusts out and eventually becomes the Ironman?

No not that Ironman, the other one!

I dunno, but they always seem to pile up all over the place, so perhaps that's the right denominator ?

Anyways, at least it's not another cliffhanger. :D

*cough* Just fyi, I did today's comic.

I was wondering about that when I read this thread.

I could think of a few things to call a group of Mows.

"A plague of Mows."
"A ball of Mows."
"A Mab of Mows."
"A Glomp of Mows."

Still, shame on science indeed. Must we do everything for science? :rolleyes

The English language has some weird collective nouns...

It's funny because I was there when the subject came up at AC. Someone asked whether a picture contained one mow in different positions or a group of mows. The answer was a group... or a dazzle, or...

...And so it began.

I like a dazzle, a fluff or a meep.

A fluff sounds about right.

Or maybe an invasion. Or a wave. Or a smother, perhaps?

I didn't not know there was a discussion on this topic. I just felt like drawing a mow, and then went with it. ;)

A "doom" of mows came to mind for some reason for me. I do like "dazzle" and "meep" though too.

I'm going to say a Munch of Mows.

Seems appropriate. Munch munch munch!

I liked joshofspam's "glomp" of mows... that sounds cool.   :mowwink 

My other favorites:

Gaggle of mows (like geese)
Swoop of mows
Blanket of mows
Ohmgawd of mows (as in "Oh my gawd!")

A mass of mows, a terror of mows, a mob of mows....

I have to admit, a meep of mows has a certain ring to it.  

Also, thank you Darkmoon.

I dunno, I like the sound of the much more common 'bunch'.
As in 'A bunch of Mows.'
It also has a dual meaning. :P

I am feeling a bit silly today so I would like to suggest

A mow of mows.

A lawn of mows.

A large group of mows would look like a purple lawn, but mostly because "lawn the mow" is delicious Engrish.

A dilemma of mows.
A quandry of mows.
A squee of mows.

I like lilpuppy23's indirect suggestion as well:
A buffet of mows

And this is pretty awesome as well

i hope not, i'd hate to see amber getting ripped off by a syndicated hyper-popular show.  :\ it wouldn't do much for my opinion of the show.
