	You're absolutely right.  My bubugged the girl that works the
Gribnif booth in '88 about the meaning in Gribnif, and never got an
answer.  Undaunted, he tried again this year, and still got nowhere.  
Excepth that the girl told him to watch M*A*S*H to find out.  We were
told that this was classified information, and that only 1 person at 1
show came up and knew what Gribnif means.  I wonder if it's important.
