Well, the whole process of "as soon as one [kook] is thrashed a new one 
pops up or an old one flys out of the woodwork, it is almost like a 
tennis ball server or some instrument is throwing them" could be 
described _as_ a "fruit-loop."

Then all we need is some way to track how far around the fruit-loop we 
are and we'll know what sort of looniness is heading our way next.
