have a thot -- assassin neck could also refer to the day of jackal - when jackal missed cos he forgot abt the french custom of kissing - so it could be linked to fred forsyth or the book or even de gaulle

assassin-neck - day of jackal

underdog - anubis - jackal

chappell - not sure - chapel of anubis...will get back

so connection - jackal or anubis
