Where does "Greywolf" come from?

Here we go -

I admit to having a certain curiousity as regards this...

I didn't see San Diego or Tennessee on the list so I figured western Australia. I know that Jackals and Coyotes are from there. I know there are fossils of 'yotes and wolves in northern Asia. If ranchers in western montana have their way, there will be some fossils there too.

I'm guessing Scranton. Mainly because I go there a lot and it was the only one on the list I had been to.
How's that for skewed logic?

I know the "Werewolf was from London"

& since I know Greywolf's last name, I say he is from Scotland

The game is afoot!

You people need to be a little more analytical about this. I'm pretty new around here, but I've already gleaned a couple of facts from threads in this very forum:

1) Greywolf talks very quietly

and

2) he knows a lot of 70's trucker talk.

Being quiet rules out Scotland and New South Wales, because Scots and Aussies are, as everyone knows, blustering loudmouths, especially after a coupe of pints (we'll get to Western Australia presently). The trucker talk suggests a domestic origin, but witness in this very thread his use of the phrase "come on, then." That's a decidedly British-y colloquialism, so Pennsylvania's out. That leaves Wales, the Falklands and New Zealand.

I've been to New Zealand and there's no way anybody who lives there would want to leave that gem of a country unless they're COMPLETELY insane. Greywolf might be a little off-balance, but he's not quite ready for the butterfly net and a rubber room just yet, so I rule NZ out.

I don't know much about the Falklands other than that beef England had with Argentina over them back in the 80's. He _could_ be an expatriate, having headed for higher ground during the tiff, but I think he'd be a bitter soul if he'd been unwillingly thrust out of his homeland. He doesn't strike me as bitter at all.

Which leaves us with Western Australia. But there's more evidence than just it being the only remaining choice: W.A. is famous for it's "road trains," massive semi tractor-trailers towing three or even four trailers at a time--he'd have had plenty of opportunity to hear trucker-speak in W.A. What's more, Western Australia isn't much like the rest of Australia, much in the same way that California isn't much like the rest of the U.S.A., so he wouldn't necessarily be loud, but would likely be (ahem) 'touched in the head,' which he seems to be. Finally, Perth is quite a bit like Long Beach of 15-20 years ago, and not unlike a certain other city by the sea, a city with a very temperate climate and a remarkably attractive general populace (honestly--I've never seen so many beautiful women as in Perth). It's not unlike... San Diego.

It's elementary, my dear FTE: through the process of elimination and deduction the only possible answer is that Greywolf is from Western Australia and in establishing a new home here, sought out what similarities he could find to his region of origin, and thus ultimately alighted in San Diego.

Well rats, I previously concluded that Greywolf was a combination of Navy grey and some secret stealth ship from the Navy's version of Area 51.

Hey mattsbox, have you heard of the three S's wolf control up there? Shoot, shovel and shut up. I heard that in Wyoming actually.

Greywolf are you talking about the indiginous locale for the actual species? or about yourself?
What is the signifigance of all this anyway? I seem to be missing it, which isn't all that unusual.
