I generally agree here. I really LOVE Sea Wolf though. I wish they were called something else, like "Depressed Accordion Music."
From Sea Wolf's website:
We want to be JUST LIKE: Wolf Eyes, Wolf Parade, We Are Wolves, AIDS Wolf, Wolfie, Wolf Colonel, Patrick Wolf, WolfMother, Guitar Wolf, Steppenwolf, Hugo Wolf, Kate Wolf, Laurent Wolf, Wolf City, Duran Duran (though they don't really count. they were just 'hungry like a wolf'), Howlin' Wolf, Superwolf, White Wolf, Seasons of the Wolf, Wolf & Cub, Peanut Butter Wolf, Peter Wolf, Peter and the Wolf, Los Lobos, Fuckwolf, The Wolfgang Press, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Wolfstone, The Wolfnote, Wolves in the Throneroom, Le Loup, Tiger Bear Wolf, Fox 'n Wolf, Wolftron, TV On The Radio (they did 'Wolf Like Me', got a lot of demand for them so apparently they qualify) Wolf, Wolf Cub ..If there are any more that we haven't mentioned here, let us know!

Aren't black kids more likely to have pit bulls, and other fighting dogs, than pugs?

Do you think guys named 'Jack' get offended by the word 'hijack'? Because seperately, it would seem like Hi and Jack would indicate something nice and warm, but put them together, and BLAMMO!

Because it provides a fleeting, momentary distraction from the utter black hole that is my life. Speaking of which, is cheese generally considered orange or yellow? Is there tension between more lightly complected cheese and its darker-hued brethren?

So what came first?
The word hijack or "jack" used to mean to take w/o permission or steal as in "My bastard roomate jacked that last piece of cake I was saving for later so I'll have to get him back by taking a leak on his face as he sleeps tonight."?
I'm thinking that use of "jack" was adopted after "hijack" became part of the English language but am not totally sure.

from wiki:
There are two folk etymologies:
That it arose from someone wanting a lift on a truck calling "Hi, Jack" (the exclamation plus the name), until this was used often as a trick by robbers.
That it comes from seamen who were robbed by prostitutes in former centuries in London. Prostitutes would call out "Hi, Jack" to passing sailors. Instead of receiving the services they expected, some sailors were instead robbed by an accomplice.

Not many people know it, but the origin of the word pitchfork goes back to 1931 when Amos T. Scuttlebrow took the mound of a community baseball game in Auburn Smash, Idaho. Lacking a proper baseball – this was the depression after all – he used the only available tool he could find, which was a fork. He threw it, and it skewered Thomas U. Dinklefwat in the upper abdomen. Dinklefwat became so enraged that he went to his barn and got this weird looking tool and then proceeded to chase Scuttlebrow around the yard with it. Later, someone asked Dinklefwat what that weird looking tool was and he said "It's a pitchfork."
