*pets Cottonball the Tribble while reading 'Tribble Care for Dummies'*
I just looked up Tribble on the internet, and it says they hate Klingons. Maybe that why Klingons hate them...
I wonder if Spock would like Tribbles, because he is half human.
*carefully gets self some food before the Tribbles see it* I hope they don't like my precious frappichions.

We should probably do something about it before they get out of control. *notices Tribbles are covering most of the floor* Or, more out of control than they already are.

Well, no use fighting it. This is a Cafe- there's food everywhere.

*Picks up another two tribbles and strokes the three together.*

What's a Tribble? *trips*

Oh, is this a Tribble?

By the way, the USS Enterprise is leaving spacedock in an hour, so anyone who does not wish to join an intergalactic exploration mission should vacate the recreation room by then.

But in the Enterprise spirit, maybe we can add a Holodeck to the Cafe. Then again, considering how many times that thing has been used as a deus ex machinae *cough* I mean plot device, maybe we shouldn't.

Tribbles crawl into unsuspecting people's ears, if I remember correctly. Right? Tribles are way, way uber creepy. They crawl into people's ears, and attach themselves to the victim's frontal lobe or something. Stuff of nightmares.

Not really here, just came to tend to my dear Leroy the Liger and his pretty white tiger/liger family, and retrieve my puppy Claire, and get the penguins out of this wretched place spock put them in. Poor penguins. No one's had anything to eat for days, either. What has the Teacup come to? This is so freakin' sad, man.

And hopefully Dragazzo is safely ensconsed with Obnavat, somewhere nice.

O.K., here's what some random trekkie site had to say about these tribbles in question:

Origin: unspecified.
A small animal characteristically soft, furry, and pleasing to most humanoids (with the exception of Klingons). Tribbles give off a soft purring sound that is soothing to many.
They are also asexual, born pregnant, the only determinant of birthing being how much food they consume. The Federation first encountered tribbles on space station K-7 on stardate 4523.3.




I could have sworn that they were the ones who crawled into people's ears. I could have sworn.

Tribbles are just warm, purring balls of fur and cuteness . You, as an animal lover, will undoubtedly love them.

Hello, Lotesse! I don't thinka did! What? I can't hear you! Wait! *wades through now waist-high mound of Tribbles* WAIT! WAI-GH GH GMGNAFN!! *is now underneath Tribble pile that is growing ever faster*
Wow! This reminds me of...um...what was that movie where that creepy guy had a rat army and there was a big black one and a little white one named after some Greek scholar? I want to say Plato...No, his name was...oh, no, I don't--Oh, right, Socrates. What WAS that movie?
EDIT: Hello, Katya!

Oh, yes, yes, undubitably then! I definitely will love tribbles, in this case! But what are those creatures that sneak into people's brains via their ears? Not tribbles? No, they are like weird earwigs with an evil purpose. Pink, chubby, many-footed, sticky evil earwigs. *Shudders violently.* What were those?

I'm afraid to find out!
*finds out*
Aww, that's scary...*shrinks away from one that is on second floor balcony, falls into pile of tribbles*
Aww, it's not that bad! I landed in Tribbles! How mad could I be?

EDIT: Thanks! It's a Calabi-Yau manifold. I would explain, but I think you know what that is.

Wasn't there some hobbit birthday or holiday or something?
Has anyone ever noticed that sometimes the "Originally posted by _____" is italicized, while other times it has the original poster's name in bold?

Yeah, it was Orwell`s 1984 I was thinking of. The main character is writing something and it`s April 4th 1984. I`m pretty sure it`s the kitty`s birthday too though.
