I was toying with two nouns:
A slick of LBCs
A valdez of LBCs
But I'm not sure that "pool" isn't just exactly perfect. And it's
even got a song, too...
Of course, out here in California, where any political, social, or
sexual extreme is tolerated unless it involves the enjoyment of
the private motorcar, we have car pool lanes on the freeways. On
rainy days, I am often tempted to drive in these lanes when I have
the top down on the B. If I were to get stopped, I'd only have to
point around me to demonstrate that I was in fact in a car pool...

You mean it's time to mop up all the character that oozes from them, right?
