Lockon Stratos
One of the protagonist in the anime series Gundam 00 (double OH). He was a mentor to the characters in that series until his death in episode 23.
Lockon Stratos died when his GN Armor exploded from Ali Al Sarshes in space. Prior to his death, he was floating in space, and asked rhetorically if the people of earth are satisfied with the current world then he pointed towards the planet in a gun and declares that he hates it. Moments later, the GN armor explodes. We can presume from that fact that he died from the explosion.

Lockon Stratos was the most easygoing of the Meisters. He was a much more understanding character towards some of the actions of other individuals of Celestial Being. He never objected to helping other pilots; an example of this is observed during his actions in aiding the recovery of a disconnected gravity block.

stratocaster
A guitar invented in 1954 by engineer Leo Fender that combined dual-cutaways, inovative body countours, a revolutionary vibrato system (erroneously known as a "tremolo", though it has nothing to do with volume), and a pivotal output jack that minimalized the posibility of guitar damage due to visibility to the player.
Originaly came with a maple neck, though in 1959 it was stock with rosewood. Fender was sold to CBS in 1965, and begining in 1966 the Stratocaster was given the "fat" headstock, a choice of a maple or rosewood neckboard, and a remarkeable loss in sound quality arose. Sale to Fender employees around the mid eighties saw most Stratocasters produced in Japan, though from late '86 to about '89 the American Stratocasters were considered as high a quality instrument as the originals.
Stratocasters now come in all shapes and sized, good and bad. From the introduction of the "Fat Strat" humbucker (which would probably have Leo doing 50 RPM's in his coffin), to the new hideous "Bick Block" Strat geared towards metal heads.
The tone of the three-single coil solid-body guitar is bright and sharp in the bridge pickups while fat, warm and rounded in the middle and neck. The tone and overall design of the guitar is attempted to be copied by almost all major guitar companies, included Leo Fender's second company formed in the eighties, G&L guitars. G&L has the only right to do so becuase they were also produced by Leo Fender, who died in 1991.
The single-coil pups in the Strat also caused a great deal of discharged feedback, though "phased-out" positions could be reached and are now stock in the five-way switch, allowing a reverse-coiled pup in the middle to cancel out some of the feedback discharge, leading to a "quiet" guitar, though the Stratocaster is by all rights a "noisy" guitar. This feedback was used to the advantage of the playing styles of guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, who would jump on and pound the Stratocaster to create loud and animalic howls and screams.
Today, the vintage Stratocaster market is strong, with the 50's one-peice maple "V Neck" Stratocasters selling in the $35,000 - 50,000 range while the early sixties peices go within $20,000. Japan has a large amount of American pre-CBS guitars, happily enough these traditionalist Japanese musicians like to actually play their guitars, giving these Americana relics a very nice home, unlike some American collectors who stock them on shelves inside their houses and never even learn how to play the guitar.
Contrary to some belief, the highest quality Stratocasters are still made here in the United States. The best are made under either the "American Vintage" series or the Custom Shop "Time Machine" series, which both excitingly recreate vintage Stratocaster designs to the original specs, including the now-expensively outdated Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish. More wealthy artists also have the Fender Custom Shop produce one-of-a-kind guitars specifically to their own wishes and designs. These "dream" guitars are even ordered by players Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton.
If you buy a vintage, early post-CBS, or modern "American Vintage" or Custom Shop "Time Machine" guitars, you are getting the best of the best.

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
