T'Pau

1. In Star Trek, the Vulcan matriarch who presided over Mr. Spock's wedding in the episode "Amok Time". Played by veteran Austro-Hungarian stage & screen actress Celia Lovsky, T'Pau was a unique figure and role model on American television at that time; an older woman in a position of mighty authority.

2. In the 1980s, an all-woman British pop music band led by Carol Decker. Members said they chose the name simply because they liked the way it sounded. They broke up in 1991 but reformed in 98 and are still active as of 2005.
1. -- Get the popcorn! Star Trek's on and it's the one where Spock gets married and that kick-ass older chick's in charge!

-- Yeah man, T'Pau rules, you better not say no to her! Just like my grandmother!

2. Tonight on KSOL it's the All-80s Retro Hour, tonight featuring the best of T'Pau and an interview about how they recorded their classic Heart & Soul album.

Grignr

The hero of a very badly written sword and sorcery novella, The Eye of Argon by 16-year-old Jim Theis. Like Conan the Barbarian, Grignr is a wandering swordsman whose travels lead him to improbable adventures in ancient cities.

Do a Google search on "The Eye of Argon" if you'd like to read it.
"Thou hast need to occupy your time, barbarian",questioned the female?

"Only if something worth offering is within my reach." Stated Grignr,as his hands crept to embrace the tempting female, who welcomed them with open willingness.

The Eye of Argon

A very badly written sword and sorcery novella. It was written in the 1970s by 16-year-old Jim Theis and features the adventures of a wandering swordsman called Grignr. While the story does in fact have a plot to it -- a very standard one much like the Conan the Barbarian stories -- it is so badly executed that it has passed into the legends of science fiction fandom.
A scintillating, many fauceted scarlet emerald, a brilliant gem seeming to possess a life all of its own. A priceless gleaming stone, capable of domineering the wealth of conquering empires...the eye of Argon.

tickety-boo

1. Going smoothly, doing all right. Copacetic.

2. Proceeding quickly.

This expression may have originated in Scotland, where it's the title of a popular children's song. A song called "Everything Is Tickety-Boo" was recorded by Danny Kaye as part of the film "Merry Andrew".

This expression is heard more often in Canada nowadays. May have originated in the British military. Possibly related to the Hindi expression "tickee babu", meaning "everything's alright, sir". Some people spell it "diggity boo" or "tiggity boo".
Everything is tickety-boo, tickety-boo, tickety-boo...
