Jim: What a "motley crew" Thank goodness for folks like this!
"A motley crew is an informal expression for a roughly organized assembly of characters of various backgrounds, appearance, and character. Typical examples of motley crews are pirates, college fraternities, Western posses, rag-tag mercenary bands, and freedom fighters. .
Motley crews are, by definition, non-uniform and undisciplined as a whole. They are typified by containing characters of conflicting personality, varied backgrounds and, usually to the benefit of the group, a wide array of methods for overcoming adversity."
Not in any way to be confused with the California heavy metal band.
