Help[Opinions] Re: Pike
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
It seems to me one of those hyper-macho names you see thriller series books about, and you can't even be sure if Pike is the character's first or last name. Actually I think there is at least one Pike series.
I don't like it for its self-consciousness and general ugliness.
Also, every name that comes down the pike.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

There was a Pike in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. I'm pretty sure his name was partly based on that hyper-macho stereotype (in addition to being a joke about pikes/poles/stakes).
