The name Jack

Post by Scott Gardener »

Two Moons (new member--see intros) and I are sitting together at the moment, mulling over the name Jack. It's an iconic, archetypal name, and we can see why one of our favorite lycanthropes in a certain forthcoming movie in production goes by it. We've also noticed quite a few other instances. So, Zane may utter the classic lines, "we can't be exposed, Jack," but, Jack does indeed seem to have quite a bit of exposure...

Jack in the Box--the toy, the food chain, and the commercial spots
Jack and the Beanstalk--inspiration for the Space Elevator
Jack and Jill--we've got their bathroom in our new house, by the way
Little Jack Horner--sitting this one out in his designated spot right now
Captain Jack Sparrow--new movie coming out
Jack Deth- B-movie series
Jumping Jacks
Jacks, the game (bouncing ball and little star-shaped grabby things)
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK
Jack Tripper--from Three's Company

Well, there's Jack, but he's the only one I can think of. No, wait; there's also Jack.

I could care less if I am a "freak". I don't care what other people think about me. I am me. I am different from the masses of society in unique and profound ways, anyway. Being physically different would trouble me not
