Bumble might be like honey only runnier, or maybe you heat the bumblecomb
first. It was hard to decide whether bumble should be a liquid, a gel, or
a fiber. I eventually decided against fiber because it would suggest a
misleading interpretation for ``bumblecomb''.

Maybe it's something city slickers do to get around ``No dogs -- no cats''
clauses in their leases?
Google turns up ``flash-mobby'', meaning ``like a flash mob''.
