The word menagerie is described as a collection of wild or unusual animals, especially for exhibition. It is also an unusual and varied group of people. It comes from French meaning household management which formerlly included care of domestic animals.
Every Sunday night such a group of unusual and varied persons meet for a potluck dinner. As I am made privvy to these get togethers I suppose I am included in said description. After a hearty meal, starting around 6:30, and the varying flavors of a store bought cake, usually chocolate, they converse until late in the night. Many topics are discussed such as recent world news, past events, and their unwavering religious veiws. Most of the time I just sit there while they prattle away like a bunch of gossiping women, most of them are men, imposing their beliefs on each other. It is quite a comical event.
